I'm so sorry for the delay, it's raining cats and dogs today! For today's post, I am going to put some of Formula D's eye shadows to work. With mineral makeup, seeing the swatch is one thing and getting them to work is another. I wore these eye shadows for more than 10 hours with rubbing my eyes and crying in between. At the end of the night (around midnight), they still looked vibrant.

| The look. |
I tried to look fierce but obviously it didn't work :)

| What I used |
- Eye shadows: Pink Bunny, Isis, Belle, Bella, and Ink.
- Blush: Lotus
- Powder: The Ultimate Powder
- Foundation (coming soon to your favorite Etsy shop!): Dao's shade
- Eyeshadow Primer: Art Deco eyeshadow primer
- Eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack (upper lash line), Wet n Wild Idol Eyes liner in Pixie
- Lipstick: MAC Viva Glam VI SE (the one with Fergie)
- Various face and eye brushes
Eyes
- Apply Belle from the inner corner of your eyes to 2/3 of your eyes using ELF eyeshadow brush.
- Using the same brush, apply Isis to the outer 1/3 of your eyes and blend with Belle to blur the edge
- Emphasize the outer-v with Ink using EcoTools crease brush, blend lightly
- With the same brush already wiped clean, pick up Pink Bunny and apply to the crease for an extra sheen.
- Using EcoTools highlight brush, apply Pink Bunny to the inner 1/4 of your eyes on top of Belle for a extra glow
- With the same brush, apply Bella to the area underneath the brow bone to highlight.
- With an eyeliner brush, apply Blacktrack to your upper eyelash, as close to the lash line as possible, and wing out at the end.
- Optional: use Pixie to line your lower lashline to make your eyes look more awake.
- Curl your eyelashes and apply mascara

Face
- With ELF Studio Powder brush, apply The Ultimate Powder to your face
- Apply your mineral foundation to your face, using the same brush
- To blur pores and minimize shine, apply The Ultimate Powder on top of your foundation to set it
Cheeks
- With Sonia Kashuk flat top blush brush, apply Lotus to your cheeks
- Use StudioTools dual fiber brush to apply Bella as a highlighter to an area higher than your cheekbone for an extra glow.
Lips
- Apply MAC Viva Glam VI SE to your lips and if you want a shiner pout, add lip gloss on top

| And that's how we do it! |
I wore a pair of earrings my friend Sooji gave me. It fits this look very well. If you noticed carefully, I experimented something different with my eyes: I drew a tiny triangle at the inner corner of my eyes to make them look more pointed. It looks strange in real life but in film, it does not look so bad. I don't know if I like it. The triangles just look different, I guess.
I hope you'll have a wonderful weekend. If you haven't visited my shop yet, please take a look. I hope seeing how these colors work will motivate you to support my shop :) I really really hope so!
