If you have olive skin, I'm envious. But here's a simple look that will be stunning on you:
Eyes: Either Mocha or Honey as a lashline to brow wash. Top it off with some Dolce highlights (okay, this bit will work on just about anyone
) You can also use Dolce as a liner if you want to go for monochromatic.
Foundation, Love Lure for FP, and Vixen blush - Vixen will be GORGEOUS on you, trust me.
Jaybird for a lippie.
And that's it - easy and elegant.

I love the sound of this look, and will give it a go tomorrow. I will try for pics as long as my eyes are not tearing from my allergies. I have about one bad week a year, and this is it!

Okay! Here is my version of the Vixen look!
FOTD 051608

Heavier Coverage Tester 1WarmGold:12White (you can't get away with to light or dark with this formula. I am usually a 1:10 in Perfect Harmony when mixing with Warm Gold.)
Vixen Blush
Date Bait

Eyes:
Honey in the crease and inner lid
Dolce on the outer lid and a bit of the outer crease
Vanilla brow highlight

Here are a few closeups of the eye.

Definitely a pretty look - and you could use Mocha instead of Honey to go smokier, but Dolce just seems to go with EVERYTHING.
Well, not quite, but with a whole lot of colours or just on its own with a little Vanilla/Whipped Cream/Sprite/your choice to highlight -it's such a great olivey green/brown/gold, without being OTT. An almost-neutral I can even fall in love with.
Yes, I know I'm raving, but this is like the brown version of Taupetastic (in other words: Everybody needs this e/s!
)
