Greetings!
Today I wanted to share something that has nothing to do with sewing, but I suppose could carry over into the costume realm...or everyday life.
I have recently been on a hunt to find some high quality mineral eye shadow that were natural and vegan. However, I was also looking for a good color selection.
Well my journey took me to Etsy and I happened upon the store Madison Street Beauty.
The colors I received are just perfect and exactly what I was looking for. She also included some sample colors that I have added to a couple of the looks below. How fun!
I did not do tutorials for these looks, just simple pictures so you can get ideas of what these eye colors can do. I am not a lipstick girl, so I always do my makeup with focus on the eyes and a nude lip gloss or light pink balm.
** All makeup pictures are un-touched and NOT photo shopped. You are seeing exactly how the makeup looks and my natural lashes and skin color. **
Sci-Fi Princess Smokey Makeup.

For this look, I wanted to play with a more dark green color palette and have a bit of fun. Plus, I have a love for sci-fi stuff anyway and the color names reminded me of that....so why not?
Colors used: Black Orchid, Fern, Stardust, Galaxy
Description: angled smokey eye in a galaxy sky inspired color selection. Lots of mascara and a bit of liquid liner completes the look.
Bronze Pirate Eye Makeup.
This look was actually inspired by Keira Knightley's Bronze Makeup look she often wears at premiers, events...etc. However I was able to achieve it with natural products! I toned down the look just a little bit for everyday wear...being I am not going to a red carpet event at the moment.
Colors Used: Antique Rose, Cacao and Champagne.

Description: bronze smokey eye with lighter golden highlights and lots of mascara, focusing more on the outer corner lashes. This look could easily be worn with pirate costumes too!
Natural Mermaid Eye Makeup.
Here is a look I have done just for everday wear. Simple, clean looking with a touch of mermaid shimmer.
Colors Used: Bronze Sand, Seafoam
Description: Natural looking lid color with a touch of shimmer on the inner corner. A bit of mascara and you are good to go!

Other products used in the looks above: physicians formula organic wear mascara and physicians formula eye booster serum eyeliner in dark black. Brushes are a random selection from my kit.
On a side note, these looks are all super fast! I did the Bronze Pirate Eye in about 6 minutes.
So if you are looking for makeup that works well and stays on for a very long time I highly recommend MadisonStreetBeauty. Also I bought all the products myself, I am not being paid to advertise, just wanted to share a great makeup find. :)
So what do you think? Do you have a favorite look?
Thanks for reading!
