inspired avril look

i think punkchyaz did a similar look, not sure. shadow insurance, hard candy punk mascara, 88 shimmer k8, the darkest gray/black.

reminds me of avril's style, which is dark black with pink. i like her style since it mixes feminine and masculine.

144 bright swatches prt 2

all swatches on bare skin, no primer.

the first column is the lightest. there is a satin off white(1), a matte pale flesh tone(2), a shimmer flesh tone(3), a pale flesh tone (4, barely darker than the second, just a tad), and a shimmer yellow gold(5).

the lower colors don't get much darker. there is a barely darker shimmer(6, slightly darker than 3),    a shimmer rust/gold (7, if gold and rust made a baby), a matte slightly pink flesh tone(8), a shimmer gray/brown/taupe(9), and a matte paler slightly pink flesh tone(10, lighter than 8).

these are the darkest column shades. there is a shimmer warm medium brown and a matte slightly warm medium brown.

i am a fan of the lightest colors for blending out eyeshadows, and the gold/rust/taupe colors. the browns i'm not a fan of, since i don't really like brown anything makeup wise.
