Dark Desires

We're all guilty of having a dark desire or secret...we're only human. Whether it's some sort of twisted fantasy, lust, or even just a guilty pleasure (cough, cough...Vampire Diaries....cough), we all have one and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Give your dark desire an homage with this deep and sultry look; you'll never want to leave the dark side....

FACE:
  • Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Buff
  • MAC Studio Fix Powder in N4

EYES:
  • Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper
  • Milani Black Magic Liner in Blackened Gold as a base
  • Lime Crime Eyeshadow in Medusa all over lids
  • MakeupGeek Eyeshadow in Corrupt on outer corners
  • MakeupGeek Eyeshadow in Gold Digger on inner corners
  • Love and Beauty Glitter Liner in Gold
  • MakeupGeek Eyeshadow in Shimma Shimma on inner corners and brow bone
  • Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Hustle to blend out Medusa
  • Wet N Wild Liquid Liner in Black
  • Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara in Black
  • Faux Lashes in Cristina 

CHEEKS:
  • NARS Blush in Amour
  • Mix of MUG's Shimma Shimma and Gold Digger as a highlight

LIPS:
  • Lime Crime Lipstick in Coquette
  • ELF Glossy Gloss in Dragon Fruit
FauxLashes in Cristina, $12.00.

" These lashes may be demure in length but have a personality all their own. The alternating short and long strands create beautiful volume. "

These lashes are a great way to add volume and drama without getting too wild and crazy. They have a pretty thick band, but are super comfortable to wear. I almost forgot I had these on...very lightweight and pretty! I'm really diggin' these lashes. Check them out at FauxLash.com.

Hope you all enjoyed this ridiculously sexy look. These types of looks are my favorite - dark and dreamy. I think they make my eyes stand out like crazy.

As you might have noticed in the product list, I used a few eyeshadows from MakeupGeek. I was sent 12 of them to review, so keep an eye out for a review, look and swatches! I also have a couple of other reviews coming up (Drama Queen Cosmetics, Victorian Disco Cosmetics and Lime Crime's Palette D'Antoinette) so be on the lookout.

Stay happy and healthy, and I'll see you again soon!

  15. Oh, this look is so beautiful! :) If I would wear it myself I would combine it with a black lipstick to add some extra gothiness. I think my own dark desire is the goth subculture. 

    Have a nice day!

  24. It's amazing, as usual with you :)

    Can I make suggestions for your blog?  I'd love to see also makeups with lighter colours: for example a theme in white, another in light blue, another with pale green, ... Some looks to wear easily everyday.
    Not nude colours but more simply looks with a main fresh color that would be inspired by Spring.  What do you think about my idea?

  31. This is just amazing! I had been wondering whether those Milani crayons might work as an eyeshadow base so thanks for showing me that they can. I'm a new subscriber but you've inspired me so much.
