Ilmatar

This look came about as a result of me wanting to bust out my new Kat Von D and Sleek Palettes. I felt like doing something minty with Razor Gray from the Beethoven Palette (which is actually green in the pan, wtf?) and the blackened olive from the Sleek Curious Palette. I wanted something smokey, so I used that trick from my last FOTD: sweep a lighter colour in the crease, then deepen it with a blackened smokey shade in the same colour family. The Kat Von D and Sleek shadows are buttery as fuck and practically blend themselves, so I had a smokey crease in about 0.5 seconds :)

Took these first 2 photos and then realised how pink/red my waterline
looked next to all the teals and greens, so I added some white :)
I don't even know what this facial expression is :|

I liked how the eyes were icy and smokey at the same time, while the lips and cheeks were warm and summery :)
