Another Color of the Week challenge using grey and beige inspired by Deniece Williams's song 'Black Butterfly'. During planning this look, I learned that I don't have any midtone to deep greys in my stash.😲 Since grey on my complexion could pull ashy, I used silvers in the look to provide higher visibility against the black wings.

Graphic eye practice. I am LIVING for the ELF camo concealer. It's behaved much better than the NYX white liner so far for me. Products used: @elfcosmetics 16 Hour Camo Concealer - White. @shopmissa AoA Studio Buttercream Gel Liner - Red Velvet in the waterline. @certifeye Affinity 2 palette - Hussain, Aftab, Munir, Aquib and Ijaz. @juviasplace - Yejide, Osun, Kogi and Creme. @makeupgeekcosmetics - Tan Lines. @colourpopcosmetics - Quantum Sleep (DCed). @spectrumcosmetics - Ferric which is an amazingly dark blue. @sugarpill - Suburbia. @mbacosmetics - Coral Cove. @nyxcosmetics - Hot Primal Red (DCed) in the waterline, Lip Suede in Kitten Heels to boost the red of the graphic lines and eyebrow pencil in black. @beccacosmetics Aqualuminous concealer - Deep Bronze. With both of us in quarantine, fussing around with makeup has been very relaxing in my off hours. What's everyone doing to relax and stay sane if able to house quarantine? I'd love more ideas. And as ever, Live in Color!🌈 . #mue #makeup #muj #makeupforpoc #eotd #makeupjunkie #makeupenthusiast #indie #darkskin #darkskinnedindie #darkskinmakeup #eyelooks #eyeshadow #indieeyeshadow #indiemakeupdarkskin #indiemakeupmue  #graphiceye #beccacosmetics #elfcosmetics #shopmissa #juviasplace #certifeye #makeupgeek #colourpop #sugarpill #mbacosmetics #nyxcosmetics https://www.instagram.com/p/B_auWy5pJW2/?igshid=1u7ex005s3ge8

While attempting a completely different look, the idea for this one sprang up. I wanted a dragon vibe from the coloration more than anything and really enjoyed playing with some new items in the vanity. The Rude cosmetics shadow was very creamy and has a warm, sheer brown under tone that worked really well with my complexion. The Black Radiance Jaded palette honestly shocked me since I hardly see reviews of their eyeshadows so I had to give one a try.  Again, I was surprised in a good way since the two greens used had marvelous payoff for this look! Products used: Face - @nyxcosmetics Total Control Drops in Cappuccino. @blackradiancebeauty   contour kit in dark to deep and blush in Raspberry. @shopmissa blush in Kindle and brow pomade in Ebony (I'm still working on brow cleanup). @wetnwildbeauty Highlighter in Awesome Blossom. @elfcosmetics hydrating primer mist, illuminating setting spray and Hydrating Concealer in Rich Chocolate. @lagirlcosmetics brow pencils in black. Lips - @bitebeauty lip pencil in 048 and lipstick in Liquorice. ♦Nyx Slide on lip pencil in Red Tape. Eyes- ♦Nyx HD shadow primer over the lid. ♦Red eye liner is Nyx Vivid Brights Cream in Oxblood mixed with AoA Buttercream gel liner in Red Velvet and Duraline. @rudecosmetics duochrome shadow Trance Dance all over. ♦Black Radiance Emerald palette to deepen and highlight. ♦Elf Jalapeño palette outer corner. As ever, Live in Color!🌈 Post schedule?
