My look from the October Photoshoot

Tadaa! Here is one of the snaps of me from the October photoshoot. Again, that shoot was a fantastic day. Lots of work, but we enjoyed every minute of it:). I've never considered myself a great model but it was fun to be in front of the camera and posing like a superstar, lol.

For my look, I decided to blend Dragon Eyes and Smoked Coals for my lid colors. I started with a base layer of Dragon Eyes just on my lid, staying below the crease. Then I brushed Smoked Coals into the crease and let it travel a little above it. I used Midnight eyeliner/matte shadow with the foil technique (dipping an angled brush into water before dipping it into the shadow) and lined my eyes heavily top and bottom. I carried my top line out just a bit to give a simple cat eye effect. On my cheeks I used one of my favorite blushes, Amethyst and for my lips I used Drink Deep, again as a clear gloss/shadow combo. And my foundation of choice is a half/half mixture of Yoli and Bali:).

Any questions about how I did any of this, definitely ask away!

Etniq Photoshoot in my new home Raleigh, NC!

I had a great time doing this photoshoot with some new friends here in Raleigh. These two lovely ladies are beautiful salsa dancers as well as beautiful women:). Our photographer was the fabulous Natalia Weedy. Make some time to check out her portfolio at her site www.nataliaweedy.com. It's simply lovely!


For Damara's look I brushed Heaven eyeliner/matte shadow over her lids and lined her eyes very lightly with Tierra eyeliner/matte shadow. Foundation wise, Damara's shade is Tippen. Her lip color was a lot of fun! We used a clear gloss and mixed it with Cotton Candy for a nice sheer pink. Very pretty, don't you think! I call this the All-American Girl look:).


For Jamila, I wanted to do a more dramatic look and decided to brush Brilliant over her lids and take the color up just slightly above her crease with Cocoa Grounds. We used Tierra to intensely line her top lid and lightly line her lower, plus gave her a slight cat-eye liner extension. Jamila's foundation is actually a blend of Kali and Yoli. On her lips is another fusion of clear lipgloss and Cocoa Grounds. On her cheeks is a light brush of Seduce blush/eye shadow combo.

I'll post my look in a very short while:).
