My kinda sorta Hulk look

Last night I was getting ready to go out and I decided to play with my Concrete Minerals Pro matte shadows. As I was going along I figured I would snap a few pics of the process and do a sort of picture tutorial, it wasn't until after that I realized the colors I chose were 'Hulkish". Hulkish or not, I really liked the look and I hope you do too. :)

I didn't take a pic of this, but I primed my eye with GDE Control Freak primer and then covered my whole eye with Tick:Tock's Infinity base in Milky Way

Pat on Concrete Minerals' Pro Matte shadow in Toxic all over the lid

Then take BFTE's shadow in Black on the outer lid and up into crease blending with Toxic

The add CM's Pro Matte shadow in Ravage and blend that into the crease with Black and also blend it into the outer corner and somewhat into Toxic. Then add Tako by Sugarpill as the highlight color.

Fill in your brows and line your eyes

Here is the finished product eyes closed and after adding mascara

Jeepers, I need foundation! lol

Full face, lips are MAC lipstick in Style Curve

VOILA!

You can sign up for a 3 or 6 month subscription, the 3 month is $15 and the 6 month is $24 and they include the shipping.

I was excited to get the brush as I have been wanting to try Sedona Lace brushes and am looking forward to trying it out in the coming days. Foil Me is great stuff if you can get the chance to try it. Now on to the swatch of the OTM color!

I am lame and forgot to snap a pic of the brush. Photo courtesy of  Sedonalace.com
