Damn I think this is one of the best FOTD I've seen. i love how the pink is in such a small area and the colors contrast each other. The pink almost *glows*!!!

AMazing I love it!
Klaud.

jing said...

so many stuffs for this eotd. lovely combination and your blending is perfect! btw, i love that hydropowder. i suck at blending and combining colors, so i use it by itself often. the color is so pretty!

watercoloursky said...

klaudea: lol honestly its really because MAC Passionate and Pink Pearl are such awesome colours. Pink Pearl really helps Passionate blend in with the purple too since it has that purple shimmer to it.

jiejie: haha i know...its a lot more products that i normally use. i usually don't even bother with a colour base when i'm rushing to get ready.
yep, that hydropowder is the prettiest purple i've seen! i'm so glad i got it :) even though it was expensive.

theChas said...

Wow, this look is a lot more layered than it seems. I especially liked how there just appears to be a hint of pink in your inner corners. Great job!

Alice @Ogni cosa bella è viola said...

Love this make up!

priincesspeach said...

GASP! This is gorgeous, Arashi!!! I gotta try this look. And I think I need MAC Passionate e/s now. Ok, this is my fav now for the challenge. Super job!!
