Chanel Topkapi Applied

Sometimes on a weekend I won't apply my makeup until the evening. It always feels like a treat after a day spent cleaning! This makeup was the result of one of these evening applications and I went a little bolder than I might do ordinarily. I first applied the Kevyn Aucoin lip colour and thought the Chanel Topkapi eyeshadows I showed you yesterday might be complimentary.

I applied the taupe shade first all over the lid and then layered the gold over the taupe in the centre of the lid. I'm nervous of gold with my colouring but using the Le Metier Kaleidoscopes has taught me that layering can make a scary colour work for you. I finished off by running a little of the deep chocolate brown colour along the outer 2/3rds of the lash line.

Here's a slightly different look with the same palette. I applied the taupe on the lid again but this time used the bronze-y shade in the crease and the dark brown along the lash line. I'm wearing Edward Bess After Sunset compact rouge on my cheeks and Forever Yours lipstick (swatch post here) over MAC Subculture liner.

  1. The gold/taupe combo on the lids look great with your red lips.

    I think I need to track down that Kevyn Aucoin lippy.

  5. Gosh, I love the custom mix of the 4 shades you did on this one!!!
    The result looks different in almost every pic, a perfect balance between a taupe and a beige/brown with a silver meets golden sheen!!!
    Wow!!! Damn, if it wasn't so $$$!!!
