Pink and Gold Fyrinnae Look

New look! Here's the video. Something went wrong, and the audio gets a little weird towards the end, and makes me sound like an alien.

Products used:

Face- OCC skin primer, Fyrinnae Velvet Gel Silica Primer, The Body Shop liquid foundation #5, Cinema Secrets Foundation Palette #3(I use this one as a concealer), RCMA No Colour Finishing Powder

Eyes- Makeup and Glow Eye and Lip Primer, Fyrinnae Arcane Magic Avian Shapeshifter, Fyrinnae STFU, Fyrinnae French Vanilla Shake, Fyrinnae Polar Bear, Pixie Epoxy

Cheeks- some random drug store bronzer/blush that is so old the label has peeled off... time to get a new one!

Lips- Fyrinnae Lip Lustre in Meloncholy, Elizabeth Arden Shine Pops in Champagne

Alright, I'll admit it, I'm kind of making a duckface in the first photo. It shows off the lip colour, though! Sorry, these are the best pictures I could get. Arcane Magic shadows HATE being photographed. The video picks up the colours better.

Fyrinnae Review

I placed an order with fyrinnae.com few months ago, and I thought it was about time I did a review.

youtube video review

My camera ran out of space before the video had finished, but I was basically just going to say that I'm looking forward to trying their "Fluff", since it's another silica based product, and that I was really happy with my order. I also forgot to say that Meloncholy is a lot darker and oranger than the picture on the site, but that it looks fabulous with a gold lip gloss over top.

I tried and tried and tried to take pictures of the Arcane Magic shadows, but they just wouldn't turn out. They are really beautiful, and the colour shifting is fun to play with, but they're hard to use. Because they change colour depending on the light source, it's hard to know whether whatever you're using in the crease or as a highlight will look good all the time. However, I did an awesome look with one of the AM shades yesterday, and I was thinkng of doing a tutorial tonight. I used Avian Shapeshifter (AM changes from a rosey taupe to orangey gold) all over the lid, with STFU (russet brown with reddish sparkle) in the crease, french vanilla shake on the brow bone, and a light wash of polar bear all over. It was really soft and warm, with lots of subtle shimmer. I wore Meloncholy on my lips, with some gold gloss over the top, and got compliments all night.  I spent about ten minutes staring at myself, moving my lamp closer and further away from my face to see the colour change, though. I must have looked like such a freak!
