Thank you everyone for giving me your opinion on whether the sheer pink and bronze was worthy of a tutorial! I will be putting one together tonight. In the meantime, I have become enamored with the idea of different types of Summer Smokes. I love smoldering eyes but let's face it, full on smoke is just not a great look for a summer afternoon.
This is also a tutorial preview so look for it to go up sometime tomorrow! Oh wait... this is cool. On my cheeks I used Vintage Lip Tar. Who knew that the Tars would also make an awesome cream blush?
I used: 3, 14, 15 and 20.

Just a Little Obsessed
Yaby! Am I a dork? I am having such a blast playing with my shadows and Pearl Paints from Yaby. I decided to forego my usual routine of starting with Too Faced Shadow Insurance as a base because I really wanted a sheer wash of color. I used a very thin layer of a duochrome pink from my Kryolan Interfenz palette which is cream stage makeup.
I usually do not post so many pictures but I love this look so please forgive me this moment of complete self indulgence. I know it may not be the most technical look I have done but this is the kind of makeup that my tastes have turned to as I get older. I especially love this kind of look for the summer.
What do you think? Is this tutorial worthy or is it too basic?

New Tutorial featuring Yaby Cosmetics
In my previous post, I extolled the virtues of Yaby Cosmetics. This tutorial features Yaby blues and greens and the drama was intentional to demonstrate the smooth, easy to work with intensity of the shadows.
