Dwarf Seahorses

This is the next installment of my Sea Life Series. I absolutely adore seahorses. I went to the Tampa Aquarium this past year and took as many photos of their various breeds as I did all the other animals combined. The long snouts and the super quick way they flutter their fins just fascinate me.

During my search for creatures native to the Gulf of Mexico I stumbled across these yellow seahorses (shown in tutorial video). This is my interpretation.

Eyes:
[MAC] Painterly Paint Pot (base)
[Mehron] Basic Palette Goldenrod AQ (base)
[MAC] Soft Brown e/s (blended into crease)
[MAC] Heritage Rouge Pigment (outer half of lid, into crease and outer 1/3 of lower lashline)
[MAC] Goldmine e/s (middle 1/3 of lid and entire lower lashline)
[MAC] Blonde's Gold Pigment (inner corner of lid/ lower lasline and just under browbone)
[MAC] Brun e/s (darken crease, outer 1/3 of lower lashline, and over liner on waterline)
[MAC] Shroom e/s (highlight)
[Maybelline] Full-n-Soft Mascara (1st coat)
[Loreal] Voluminous Mascara (2nd coat)
[MAC] Engraved Powerpoint e/l (waterline)

Cheeks:
[CoverGirl] Pretty Peach Blush

Lips:
[MAC] Freckletone l/s
[Revlon] Toast to Shine l/g



I love the way this lip combination looks. Nude, yet not pasty.
