This is NOT Your Mom’s Blue Eyeshadow!
May 7, 2008
This post is in direct response to a post written several months ago by Mo called, “Color Intervention 101.”
“Every day I decide who I want to be and apply my makeup accordingly. I’m known around these parts for outlandish color combinations and a foolhardy devotion to the newest thing. Is it really my expertise that makes these experiments work? Of course, I’m a genius, didn’t anyone tell you? Actually, it’s just the fact that I feel comfortable enough to try something new. A lot of the wearability of a color comes directly from you and your confidence.”- Mo
So yesterday, Mo sent me this picture. This is an incredible look for you Mo!
My Mom used to wear her hair with the same cut (different color) in the 70’s. I will have to round up a picture to show you.
Mo labeled this picture “Tragic.” The only thing tragic about this is picture is that I don’t know how to re-create this look for myself, and I don’t know if I could pull it off either. Tell all Mo; this is fabulous!

That is the “Submarine” eye shadow from MAC’s Naughty Nauticals collection. It’s almost like “Electric Eel” but closer to a royal blue than Electric is. It also becomes a bit darker but incredibly gorgeous when applied wet because it has a subtle frosty sheen while Electric is a matte formula.
My lip color is the “Ms Fizz” Dazzleglass, painted on pretty heavy to get a nice strong color. I probably could have layered it over a lipstick for similar results though.
I sometimes wonder if I go too over the top and start to look a little drag queen-ish, but a thumbs up from you makes me feel better Jami!!
