Dusky Pink and Marine

I have to admit that I am currently addicted to the Ocean-green/Marine and Dusky Pink colour combination.  It has that summer feel and I just feel more 'expressive' wearing these shades.  Perhaps, some of that freedom feeling is because I know these colours are in my personal palette, but I think there is more to it.  Dusky Pink has always been an elegant colour to me.  Its rich and muted, and it looks 'chic'!  Marine blue/green is equally as elegant - it has that special 'mystical mermaid' effect.  The Chanel eyeshadow quad in Tisse Venitien is the perfect - I'm learning to really play around with the various shades in the palette.  Today I used the lightest colour from lid to crease (its a seashell shade), then applied the silver-grey shade into the crease.  I used Urban Decay liner on the upper lashline and smudged the lighter green into the liner.  I used a deeper grey liner on the lower lashline (Urban Decay 'Smoke').  For the Dusky Pink shade, I used Quo lipliner in Dusky Pink and then blended MAC's Myth lipstick into the center of the lip and blended it out.  Desert Rose Blush by MAC was the perfect blush choice! Now that my hair has more ash tones, its fun to play around with cooler toned makeup.  I'm the most excited about the Marine blue-green shades - I love the pop of colour without it being overwhelming!  Its dramatic, yet soft!  I think that my next 'mission' is to find a marine coloured scarf!!!
