Hollis please please please tell me how you do your Fire and Brimstone eyeshadow!
I just can't seem to be able to make it look good. Where exactly do you use each colour? I'm lost.

I can imagine that it would look so good, but i can't do it.
Anyone else can feel free to chime in now too!.
Thanks girlys!
EDIT: also.. sorry for going off topic.

I tend to keep it simple...coat of Brimstone on the lid, and then Fire as the highlight, and a little bit blended into the inner corner. For a liner- I generally use either Basalt, Chocolate Twinkle, or Film Noir with it.

When I do my Fire and Brimstone eye, I use Fire all over the lid and up to browbone , then I use Brimstone on the outer 1/2 and in the crease. I usually use it as a dry liner under 1/2 of my lower lid, and wet lined, or with the clear cream liner, to draw a slightly darker thin line near my lashes. I love this combo,but try to keep it real simple (actually it is very similar to Karen's two color eye).
I've found that when I do this eye less is more, and while I love the look of Fire over the clear liner cream liner, I actually prefer it combined with Brimstone in a much softer way.
Hope this helps.
Hollis

Thanks girls. I'll try it tomorrow. I think part of my problem is that Fire comes out really pale on me. But maybe if i blend it with Brimstone more it will work. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for your help.
