Miss SemperFiesty has asked that I post the challenge colors this week. I haven't put much thought into today's color picks... I basically went with colors that I own that I still haven't tried and need some inspiration for.
 

The colors are:
1. STRYCHNINE or any bright green like GRASS, JUSTLIKEHEAVEN, SEVERINA, GOOGOOMUCK, VENOM, POISONIVY.... etc.
2. SMOKESCREEN or any silver/gray/charcoal shade, like FUME, WONDERLAND, LOLA, ADRENOCHROME, ...etc.

- Lili

Mmm, good choices Lilita! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

LOVE your choices! I don't think I have smokescreen - so this is the perfect excuse for another order

Okay - I want to play! I must've just kept missing these posts in the forum. I'll see what I can come up with...

My hubby doesn't like this look - thinks the green is too intense or something, but, hey, I LIKE the intense green.

I didn't have either of the challenge colors, but substituted...



I did virtue dry under the lid, lazysod/poisonivy wet on lid, elegant reverie dry in crease and lower lashline, and wetlined upper lashline. finished with sinisterrouge on cheeks and pinafore colorwash on lips.

O.o! Purty!

Oooh. Lili,
You must try smokescreen. It is an amazing color. I'm having computer issues and can't post right now, but you'll love smokescreen.
It goes with everything.

Peacock, looks good!! And now you'll get to select NEXT week's colors too!!

By the way, thanks for the bigger pics. Much easier to see the lovely colors on you!

Peacock - that green really suits your skintone and hair! It really pops!

I can't wait to try it!

* Bare Necessity as base on lid and Carbon as base on lower lash line
* Oyster dry on inner 1/3 of lid
* Strychnine dry on outer 2/3 of lid
* Smokescreen dry on outer 1/3 of lid and on entire lower lash line
* Moon under brow
* Black Out to line and tight line
* one coat mascara

Peacock, I love thoses colors on you! Nice job with the application, it looks great!

Melissa, bright and beautiful as ever!! Love it!!

I love Strychnine and ususally use it as a liner. I don't have smokescreen yet, but I do have fume and just got a sample of ebony. I'll see what I can do.

Melissa, I have been meaning to ask you, but keep forgetting....Do you do your brows yourself? They are gorgeous.

peacock - I think the intense green is perfect with your hair

Melissa - beautiful as always - I really like this particular aqua shadow with your eye color.

I don't have either of these colors - so did some creative substitutions. I've also been wanting to try this defined crease technique with my eyeliner - so here goes:

Ice matte inner corner
JustLikeHeaven Rocks outer corner
Black eye kohl to outline crease and on lower lash line smudged
black out eye gel on upper lash line
snow under brow to highlight

Wow Che, that looks really good!!! I love the color with your eyes, er... or should I say eye.

Wonderful looks!!

I didn't have Strychnine, so I used a couple of greens as replacements. Smokescreen, of course, I have. Did sort of a smokey green eye.

Bare Necessity all over
Black Out gel liner top only
Smokescreen all over lid
Emerald in crease & blended into lid
Severina in crease & just into browbone
JustLikeHeaven above that on browbone
Envy along top of browbone
mascara
black shadow in brows

Sorry the pics are a little fuzzy....I cropped them for just the eye and when I went to resize them they blurred a bit.

Yep, I do my own brows. I hate them actually. I have a bald spot in one of them. I would frighten small children if I went out without my "brows on" But thanks though

Chi - LOVE it! You and I did a very similar look. Too funny

Very nice application Che.
I like the eyeliner smudge thing - very cool.

All of the looks are really neat. I like all of the different results.

Melissa

I was going to comment on your brows too - but now I'll just ask if you tweeze or wax? They always look so perfect!! Mine get stray hairs all over if I'm not right on top of it. I think a better mirror would help me a lot.

I love this combo, ladies what an awesome job you have done. I love pairing smokescreen with just abou anything, but especially with teal. I will be posting a look very soon!!

I tweeze and wax actually. I'll wax maybe once every couple months just to get rid of all the peach fuzz and then tweeze all the strays that come in. I'd actually love to grow them out and start over, but I would look like a sasquatch if I did, so I don't You two are too kind

Can't wait to see yours Nina!
