EOTD: I Don't Want To Go Among Mad People

This will be my first EOTD since the hairdresser horribly butchered my hair. As you'll soon see (you're laughing already, aren't you?), I look like some kind of horrific butch-asian-elf/Queen member. I love the asian-style layered fringe, and I even like the choppy elf-style cut, but I don't have the face to carry it off, not nearly. You need angles for a thing like that. I'm severely lacking in angles. So, it looks ridiculous, but it is, at least, growing.

I'd planned simply not to do full-face EOTDs until my awful 'do could be salvaged into something better, but then my pretty Fyrinnae eyeshadows arrived, so I thought I'd brave the humiliation to show you, properly, how it looks on.
If you somehow missed it, Fyrinnae won my best brand of 2009 award in my round-up post, because they're incredibly awesome and full of win.

I Don't Want To Go Among Mad People - Step-by-Step

Ignore the hair. It's still long, just tied back. Looks worse down.

Face

• Prime with Urban Decay Pore Perfecting primer.
• Apply concealer - Bobbi Brown's Corrector in Light Bisque - where necessary.
• Dot Estée Lauder Doublewear foundation in Shell over areas that need the most coverage using the MAC 191 brush.
• Buff foundation into skin in circular motions using the MAC 187, adding more where necessary, until it's all blended in.
• Wipe off the MAC 187 and buff Purely Cosmetics Diamond Perfect Finish all over face to finish. I use my special batch of green DPF for anti-redness, too.
• Apply Purely Cosmetics Blushing blush along cheekbones (NARS Orgasm dupe).

Eyes

• Prime with a MAC Paint Pot in Painterly, smoothed all over the lid and up to the eyebrow.
• Add a dab of Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy to the lid and smooth it over the paint pot. (Yes, it's still amazing. If you haven't got yours yet, go get it now.) I also dabbed a little and smoothed it on the lower lashline (beneath the waterline) but I did that later on.
• When the epoxy goes tacky (after a few seconds), dab/pat Fyrinnae's Shallow Sleep eyeshadow over the inner 2/3 of the lid, up to the crease, with a flat shader brush (GOSH Flat Eyeshadow brush/MAC 239).
• Go over Shallow Sleep with Fyrinnae's Looking Glass, using the same brush (again, dab/pat, never brush. I pretty much do this for every eyeshadow).
• With another flat shader brush, or a dense stiff dome brush (I used GOSH Flat to pack it on the rest of the lid, then Revlon Contour Shadow brush to blend it into the crease), apply Fyrinnae's Japan to the remaining 1/3 of the lid, into the outer-V and shaded into the crease. Make it heavier/darker on the outer-portion of the eye crease and lighter toward the inner-corner.
• Using a pencil brush (MAC 219/GOSH Round eyeshadow brush) highlight the inner corner with MAC Mutiny pigment and blend it out toward the middle of the crease. I used the same brush dry to blend out the Japan in the outer-half of the crease a little, too.
• Highlight beneath the eyebrow and blend the edges of Japan/Mutiny out. I used the shimmery white from numerous Sleek iDivine palettes. Re-highlight under the highest point of the brow arch.
• Dot a little Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy on the lower lashline (beneath waterline) and smooth it even. When tacky, use a clean pencil brush to dab Fyrinnae's Curiouser and Curiouser under the eye, along the lower lashline.
  
• With the same brush, darken the outer portion of the lower lashline with Japan and blend toward the centre.
• Line waterline & upper lashline, and wing it out. Make it way less fail than mine. I used, as ever, Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in Zero. Were I feeling adventurous, I might try lining with Fyrinnae's Necromantic, instead.
  
• Prime lashes with Urban Decay Eyelash Primer (after curling, if you so desire, I never bother).
• Add a few million coats of Bourjois Liner Effect mascara, and you're done.

This EOTD used Shallow Sleep, Looking Glass, Japan & Curiouser And Curiouser.

Lips

• Prime with Urban Decay Lip Primer.
• Apply MAC lipstick in Saint Germain.
• Top with MAC Dazzleglass in Baby Sparks.

And all done. This is the third Fyrinnae look I've done since getting the eyeshadows swatched above, but only the first I've bothered to properly photograph/post up. I'll definitely be doing more when the rest of my Fyrinnae arrives. If you're curious, still to arrive is...

I can't wait for it all to arrive! Although I'm miffed I forgot to order Faerie Glamour or Mephisto, but I'll just get them next time, I've had pretty awesome Fyrinnae luck. Share your own Fyrinnae hauls with me?
