Oh, Ladies.....I did the prettiest, most subtle not too, too,sort of smoky metallic eye yesterday. I prepped my entire eyelid w/ L'oreal HIP Paints. I forgot the name of the color, but it was an ivory shade. Then I did my brows, so I would have the right perspective. Then it gets fun!
I had ordered a sample of Fort Knox, so it was on the little wand-y thing, so I used it to gently smoosh it on my eyelid from lash to crease. then I blended. Then I foiled Highbeam from crease to brow. Then I foiled Wink Wink over the Fort Knox on my lids up to the crease. Last step was a golden black pencil liner.(Oh, I do mascara first of all, let it dry, then go from there)
It's really hard to tell from the description how really gorgeous it was! It was metallic; but what shade was it? Not quite gold. Not quite silver. Not bronze either. Just a really subtle mix, that looked good even in the daytime, and didn't make me look as if I were ready too go dancing, baby!
I think I am going to do that eye again this morning, just because it made me feel so good. I paired this up with Vixen blush and Jaybird lips,

That sounds great! You inspired me with metallics- I had to wear Highbeam today!
