Happy Teal Thursday! Today I’ve got a Makeup Geek Aphrodite Insomnia look for you. This look was based on the great hooded eye makeup tutorial by Alex Faction.

Insomnia counts as a teal right? It does have teal blue reflects.

To try this hooded eye look out I did a lot of layering. I used Extra Creamy as a base shade on top of the eyeshadow primer. Then I lightly applied Beaches & Cream onto the hood / into my crease. I added to that by blending Sora on top, then further deepened that with Frappe. I used a smaller brush to blend Aphrodite into the crease with the other shades. I used Nyx Infinity Shadow Stick in Black on the lid, but this was really hard to blend with a brush as it’s really dry. I patted Insomnia onto the lid. I put Urban Decay Waterline pencil in Legend on the lower waterline. I used a thin brush to apply Sora to the lower lid, then layered Insomnia closer to the lower lash line on top of Sora. I used a touch of Saucebox Black Widow at the inner and outer lid, then a bit of Makeup Geek Aphrodite to the inner and outer lid. Then I lightly blended the edges. I highlighted under the brow and at the inner corner with Artemis.

I like how Nudestix Belle looks as a blush on me. It’s supposed to be a plum nude, but I feel like it seems to have peachy tones on me. I’m not as fond with how it looks on the lips. I used my DIY CC Cream today and then followed up with the Nudestix Concealer in light and blended that out with my finger tips. I highlighted with UD’s Aura. LOVE this! Then I felt like my face just looked… I dunno, not right so I used Buxom’s setting spray (which does not smell good to me at all, yuck). So I grabbed Nyx’s Dewy Spray next and felt like that helped.

Anyway, I’m still having laptop issues and that makes me sad.
