Tutorial! How to make your own eyeshadows!!!

I got a couple requests to do a tutorial on how I made my own eyeshadows with the Coastal Scents Mica Pigments. It is actually not difficult to do, and you can apply this technique to just about any loose shadows you have! So let's get started!

FOTD 8.09.11 / Amy Lee Inspired look

So I changed my URL a couple weeks ago and didn't realize until a few days ago that, by doing so, my posts stopped showing up in the dashboard. Opps. I changed it back, and now hopefully you will be able to see this one, as well as the other posts I made last week.

Sorry I don't have a better picture.
Now that we have that out of the way, I have a FOTD post today. It's been a while since I've done a proper FOTD post, but that is mainly because most of the time, when I like a specific look, I stick with it for a while. But today I have a Amy Lee inspired look. She wore this last night for the premiere of Evanescence's new single "What You Want", (which is fantastic, by the way). I've always been a fan of this band and Amy Lee really changed my life because her music always spoke to me, so it's amazing to see them come back after a long hiatus and see them happy and full of energy. It reminded me why I loved Amy Lee and this band. Her look was based of the single's album artwork, which is kind of a gradient of a dark purple and teal. It's colorful, but still smokey and sexy, and I thought it was gorgeous so I had to try it out.
