I don't even bother with much makeup in this weather...I can just feel it melting off....it's a gross feeling and my skin gets worse too....however, I managed to do an Eye of the Day look with the new Photo Realism Eyeshadow Quad....(requested by jennylevi).... I know there has been some rant on this quad on how it is dull on olive/darker skintones. This is actually true. When you wear the colours by itself with a neutral base...it will definitely seem dull so I decided to use a black base when using this quad. It actually improves the appearance of the colour and appears more vibrant and has a blue-ish tint to it. I actually find the quad to be dupable if you're using it on a black base....you can easily dupe Fresh Approach eyeshadow (light minty green) with Mood Ring, Warm Chill and Aquavert to achieve similar colours.

Fresh Approach, Mood Ring, Warm Chill, Steamy, Gulf Stream, Parrot, Talent Pool
Excuse the greasy looking pics....lol another reason why I never bothered doing a FOTDI took these pics after a few hours in the heat. :(

Hey hun, this look is fabulous! I ordered this quad already :). You always inspire me missy!
hey xina..i love your make-up for today..but i have a simple question..why don't you make any more tutorials on youtube? pls response to me..i check your channel on toutube daily and i'm so upset that you haven't upload anything for more then 3 monthes :(
i really miss you :(
take care :*
seriously gorgeous look! I love the placement and the liner is perfect. these colours really suit you!
Zerin the eyes are hot as usual :) Now I'm thinking maybe I should skip this quad. I usually wear greens and grays well but I think now that I have colours that are similar enough to these
Soo gorgeous! I love your eyebrows! I never thought of using a black eye pencil for a base a very useful tip there I might try that:)
What a beautiful look. When I was reading this and you said you suggested using a black base underneath, I thought this look would be dark, but when I scrolled down and saw this picture's, it's not, so pretty!
Looks great! Can't wait for this quad... I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, LOL.
And I agree to Diana: PLEASE make some new tutorials! They have always been so helpful and inspiring...
That's really pretty!
hi xina..i love your tutorials why dont u do any more of them? :(
Thank you ladiez!
Diana - It's been a long time since I did an actual tutorial video. I was busy with school for sometime and then I wasn't really that motivated enough to make tutorials...lol I would say I kinda lost my MOJO or something...I don't have such a good camera either for tutorials...I guess I might try to do one later on....it's been so long that I'm RUSTY! lol
wow, that look is fantastic ur real talented honey.
Simply gorgeous, love to see a tutorial on this on (hint hint LOL)!
