I chose to do a fire related tutorial today.  Mostly because I was wearing a red halter dress at the time.  I wanted to match!

This look is called Fire Season.  I live in a state that has a yearly fire season (no, not California.  Montana).  In fact, just about a week ago, or most important mountain was on fire.  While it looked neat at night, it’s serious business.

Anyway, the classic fire colors are red, orange, yellow and white.  Of course, the fire is hottest when it’s white.  Right?

Using these three colors, I created the Fire Season makeup tutorial, which is so scorching hot!

Read on, ladies.

At first thought, you may not even realize how much yellow makeup you really wear.  It may be some nice yellow/gold nail polish, or a yellow highlight on your lids.

In fact, yellow is used in a lot of makeup.  They add specks of yellow and gold to lipsticks, lotions, lip glosses, you name it.  But why is yellow so sought after?  It’s just a color, right?

As you may remember, I’ve been talking about color for the past few weeks and about how color effects mood and emotion.  I did red and green.  And now comes yellow.

I had two inspirations for today’s makeup tutorial. First, the inspiration for the name. If you’ve ever seen waters surrounding a glacier, you’ll know that it can be a really bright blue-green color. It’s amazing, like something you would see at the best ocean beaches in the world. At Glacier National Park in Montana, US, they have these waters. The water turns this color because of ‘glacial dust.’ This was the inspiration for the name of this look, as well as the general color scheme.

I also got inspiration for this look from Christine over at Temptalia. She uses MAC to get some amazing eye makeup looks, and lately she’s been doing makeup similar to what I’m going to do here.

The biggest difference is that I won’t be using MAC. Not that I don’t like it or anything. I just want to show that you can do very similar makeup techniques with many different makeup brands.

So, Read on to learn how to do this Glacial Dust makeup technique featuring blue and green shades of eye shadow. (more…)
