Liquid Gold

As soon as I typed those words into the title bar I realized there are a million and eight things I consider liquid gold (one of them being gravy).

Tod was rushing off to work the other day and of course, that is the only time I am ever inspired to do a look.  Onwards!

Changed the hue of this photo to show you how gold the gold is

Seriously -- is that not the foiliest, creamiest gold you've seen in your life?

That's what my desk looks like after a look.

Tod got tired after a while

I felt like playing with false lashes but I didn't want something too 'done'.  Ergo, no foundation because I wanted to keep all the freckle-y goodness she'd accumulated over the summer.  To further emphasize the casual, summery feeling of natural skin, I smudged the liner to within an inch of its inky life.  The lips I kept fairly neat because...smudgy red lips just don't work.  No

1. Line your upper lashline and upper waterline with a creamy black liner (Styli-Style Line & Seal in Carbon Black) and blend with a cotton swab
2. Cut a pair of standard false lashes (mine are from a random salon in Toronto) in half and place on outer half of eyes
3. Add a few individuals (Individual  Lashes by Quo) for an extra feathery look and pinch together with a lash curler
4. Fill in any gaps with the same black liner
5. Line lower lashline with a highly pigmented gold liner (HIP Chrome Eyeliner in Gold Charge)
6. Set by pressing a gold eye shadow into the line with a cotton swab -- better than a brush since the pressing motion will keep the shadow from falling onto your cheeks (Urban Decay Half Baked)
7. Fill in brows using MAC Lingering -- I need to get this product. I'm head over heels in love.
8. Apply MAC Russian Red Matte to lips (I used an angle brush to sketch in a cupid's bow)
9. For cheeks, I applied MAC Lustre Drops (in the lighter colour...can't remember what it's called) using this technique

Wisdom Teeth Update:  I'M SO HUNGRY.  I'm actually already eating solid food but every time I do, the soreness comes back with a vengeance.

Happy GOBBLE Day!
