With Halloween over, I can finally catch up on my backlog of posts to get through. I had hoped to have my Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix Challenge Week up this week, but it seems that isn’t happening, so that’ll be up next week! Till then, here’s a collection of looks that I wore at some point throughout October with a couple guest posts chucked in for good measure. Enjoy!
I wore this to a preview of the H&M Beauty Department and got a lot of compliments on it. It’s one of my favourite colour combos so I was really happy that others seemed to like it as well!
Eyes
- MAC Illusionary Burning Ambition Duo – used the white gold shade all over the lid.
- Inglot Matte 317 and Matte 338 mixed together on the outer half of the lid with a little bit of Urban Decay Blackout in the very outer corner.
- Wet n Wild Brule on the brow bone.
I created the winged liner with MAC‘s Blacktrack fludline and applied Urban Decay‘s Perversion mascara to my lashes.
Face
- Bronzer: Hard Candy Hula Hula
- Blush: essence pinky flow
- Highlighter: Becca Champagne Pop
- Lips: Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask in Maple
The Soul Sister glitter I picked up from Lit Cosmetics at IMATS is quite possibly the most beautiful glitter I’ve ever encountered. My shots don’t do it justice, but it’s primarily green with gold and copper flecks. It’s absolutely incredible.
Eyes
- MAC Club all over the lid.
- Inglot Pearl 418 on the outer half of the lid.
- Lit Cosmetics Soul Sister glitter applied on top of Club.
- Wet n Wild Brulee on the brow bone.
Urban Decay Perversion mascara is on my lashes.
Face
- Bronzer: SST Cosmetics Radiant Finish Bronzer
- Blush: Hourglass Incandescent Electra
- Highlighter: MAC Whisper of Gilt
- Lips: NYX Spongecake gloss
I was headed out to Halloween Haunt at Canada’s Wonderland and had to wear something festive. Because even though it may not be seen by anyone due to how dark it was, *I* still knew I was wearing something fun! And by the way? Canada’s Wonderland Halloween Haunt? TOTALLY worth it. I had so much fun!
Eyes
- Too Faced Millenial at the top of the crease.
- Viseart matte orange from the Editorial Brights palette.
- Too Faced Girl’s Night on the outer half of the lid.
- Too Faced Chandelier on the brow bone.
- Lit Cosmetics California Soul all over the lid on top of the orange.
I created the wing with Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and applied Urban Decay Perversion mascara to my lashes.
Face
- Blush: MAC Gingerly
- Lips: Revlon Papaya
I did this look for a guest post over on JustJ last month while she was away getting married!
Eyes
- Makeup Geek Frappe through the top of the crease.
- Makeup Geek Burlesque through the crease.
- Makeup Geek Bitten on the outer half of the lid and a bit through the crease. I also used this shade to line the lower lash line.
- Makeup Geek Corrupt in the outer corner to deepen up the look.
- Makeup Geek pigment in Utopia all over the lid. I used Too Faced’s Glitter Glue to make sure it stayed on my lid!
- Makeup Geek Bleached Blonde on the inner tearduct.
- Makeup Geek Vanilla Bean on the brow bone.
- Foundation: IT cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream with SPF 50+ in Fair and Light mixed together
- Bronzer: Make Up For Ever Pro Bronze Fusion in 30M

And another guest post, this time for Zoe! I was going for unicorn inspired and this is what I came up with!
Eyes
- Inglot Matte 334 through the top of the crease.
- Naked Cosmetics Ivory stack (white shade) on the inner tearduct.
- MAC Crystal Avalanche on the lid.
- Inglot Matte 325 on the outer half of the lid.
- Urban Decay Blackout on the very outer corner to deepen it up.
- Wet n Wild Brulee to highlight the brow.
- Inglot Matte 317 on the outer edge of the lower lash line.
- Inglot Matte 343 right beside it to the halfway line of the lower lash line.
- Inglot Matte 370 beside it as well.
- Inglot Matte 383 as the very last colour on the lower lash line.
I used the Kat Von D Ink Liner in Neruda to create the wing and applied Urban Decay’s Perversion mascara to my lashes. I filled in my brows with NYX’s MicroBrow in Taupe.

- Bronzer: Make Up For Ever Pro Bronze Fusion in 30M
- Blush: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Diffused Heat

oh chelle… why are you always so perfect. Lol.
how did you get use to wearing more color on the lids and learnign to combine different color? its just a practice thing? or does it come really naturally for you?

Awww you’re way too sweet. I started wearing colours in my teens, so I think I just got really used to it at a young age. (Colours I remember are MAC’s Parfait Amour, Tilt, Sprout, Bio Green (some of them are discontinued now).) I don’t think I combined colours much at that age and if you look at my looks now, they’re pretty much the same colour just different tones (like light green and dark green, orange and brown). I struggle with mixing colours that are on totally opposite ends of the colour spectrum because they just don’t blend how I expect them to.
That being said, I also watch a LOT of YouTube tutorials, so it gives me a better idea of what goes together and what doesn’t.
The OTHER thing that may help is that my eyes are quite hooded, although I can hide it a little bit in perfectly posed photos. On a day to day basis, I don’t really display a lot of lid space, so it’s easier to hide crazy colours underneath my eyelid flaps (baaahahah).
I’m not sure any of that helped… but it really is about getting used to seeing yourself wearing it. If you feel confident with it (and that can take a while), then it doesn’t matter what other people think. I’m fairly confident half of my workplace thinks I’m just the crazy eyeshadow lady, whereas the other half thinks I’m quite fashionable with my eyeshadow. Either way, I wear what I want!
UNICORNS! Definitely one of my favourite looks you’ve ever done. I also really love the look of those Lit glitters in the two looks, and that first one for H&M is stunning!

Lit glitters can do no wrong. I MUST OWN ALL OF THEM!
Loving the unicorn look & the Inglot Matte 317 and Matte 338 combo

Thanks Eithne! <3
*swoooon* at every look!! LoL Those lit cosmetics glitters are amazing! And how did I miss that JustJ guest post? That look is bringing double rainbows to my rainy Monday 😍 You remind me of Charlize Theron with that makeup! Melted Berry looks fantastic on you, I’m going to pull that out and wear it tonight.
<3 Charlize Theron is such a huge compliment! Melted Berry is such an awesome colour and I love wearing it when it gets cooler outside!
I’m in love with that Halloween Haunt look! That glitter!

I actually JUST chopped all my hair off. lol I was getting annoyed with it and had had long hair for so dang long. (Plus in the unicorn look I actually used a bunch of extensions.)
My favorite look was the one you did for the guest post! Holy cow, the depth and the shimmer and the way you layered the shadows! Love how your eyes are literally smouldering and I can’t take my eyes off the shadows! I totally need some MUG shadows in my life!
Sharlynn Ng recently posted…Review: Cyber Colors Skin-Balancing Compact in 02 Natural!
Make sure Bitten and Utopia are at the top of your MUG list! Definitely some of the best two colours I own, no matter what the brand!
So much prettiness, as always! 🙂
Those Lit Cosmetics glitters sure look awesome!!!
