Two colorful looks

I guess I was in a colorful mood this weekend!  Sometimes I really just want to wear color so I went with that!  This first look I did because I've been staring at these colors in my Inglot palette thinking that I NEEDED to use them together.  I just get so many color combo and placement ideas in my head that it takes me a while to get around to them haha.
you can see the three colors sooo well here!  

can you see how these colors almost look shiny?  These are matte colors (except the highlight) but they're sooo buttery that this is how they come across


I really liked this one!  I used
Inglot shadows:
379 M (cool toned purple on lid and under eye)
392 M (warm purple in crease)
361 M (coral color above crease)
395 P (highlight color)
Bobbi Brown gel liner "Black Ink"
L'oreal Extra Volume Collagen "Blackest Black"

On my lips:
MAC "Pink Friday" lipstick
NYX Megashine lipgloss "Beige"

And then I'd been wanting to play with similar colors in different finishes... if that makes sense.  I have the Inglot pigment 43 and the eyeshadow 384, which are very similar in color, but the pigment is shimmery and the shadow is matte.  Here are the colors
I have a weird crease thing under my eyebrow that really gets accentuated when I do shimmery colors all the way from my lid to my brow so I wanted to do a shimmery color on my lid, a matte color up to under my brow, then the highlight color.  And here's what I came up with

I don't know if you can see the different finishes here or not

???


This look kinda reminds me of an alligator.  There's something reptilian about it...

What I used:
Inglot pigment 43 and 384 M shadow
NYX "Black" eyeshadow
MAC "Vanilla" pigment as a highlight
Bobbi Brown Gel liner "Black Ink"
L'oreal Extra Volume Collagen "Blackest Black"

Lips:
Viva Glam Gaga
NYX Megashine Lipgloss "Pink Frost"

And that was my weekend makeup!  I hope you all have a great week!!  Thanks so much for checking this out!!!
