Secret Rose Garden

I was online "shopping" (with no intention of checking out the things in my cart) and I came across a competition one of the sites was hosting. They gave a theme, "In The Garden" and showed a makeup look that one of their professionals came up with and the persons entering were prompted to "beat the artist" and come up with a better look. As I'm now "putting myself out there" I decided to enter. Here's a photo of the look I created:

  

I would rotate the picture but I think it looks better this way. *shrug*

Trying to keep with the theme I used some bright pinks and greens. I did a weird type of cut crease where I cut the actual crease with a dark green and I cut above the crease by not blending the light green into my brow highlight. I used my BH Cosmetics 88 Tropical Shimmer palette for all the shadows and my Jordanna Eye Primer/Base and my NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk   to help the shadows show up brighter.




I love, love, love the way
I filled in my brows super thick.
And I've been told that the winged shape of the look and the way
I brought the light green
shadow way past my
inner corner made the
eyeshadow resemble a bird's wing. That's good
birds are in gardens, right? ;)

 On my lips I used a bright pink from my Coastal Scents palette, lined my lips with a Jordanna lipliner and used a NYX round lipstick in a light pink at the center of my lips. I think the pinky hues keep the look playful and girly, which allows the lips to relate to the garden theme.

This is the first well received "creative" look in my portfolio. The first was the sunset inspired eyes but not many people liked or understood what I was going for. I might try another sunset inspired look in the foreseeable future. One that shouts "Sunset Inspired" this time. Lol.
