Salut mes amis! The month of October just keeps getting better and it's
time to reveal another surprise!! My favorite indie makeup brand Lime Crime
just came out with two brand new uniliners and sent me a pair to paint
and play with!! Today's look is White Nights-inspired featuring Lime
Crime's newest addition to the uniliner collection: Rhyme and Reason.
I'll let these babies speak for themselves :))

I'm truly excited to be one of the first bloggers to try these gorgeous
liners, especially since I've been on the hunt for great quality silver
and gold liners for quite some time. I envisioned doing a bold, yet
wearable "White Nights" look for a casual Halloween office party, but
since I was unable to find the pigmentation I was looking for, I was
about to toss the idea... then suddenly, these stunners arrived in my
mailbox! Talk about makeup synchronicity :))
On to the Maquillage!

My Inspiration: White Nights
The photos below are from my personal collection and were taken during the White Nights in St. Petersburg, Russia. White nights
is the name given in areas of high latitude to the weeks around the
summer solstice in June during which sunsets are late, sunrises are
early and darkness is never complete. In Saint Petersburg, the Sun does
not set until after 10 pm, and the state of twilight lasts all night.
I was lucky to be born in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad) and though I'm
quite used to the White Nights, most tourists are completely fascinated
with it, as was my boyfriend Lee Lee when he visited. He is clearly
psyched out in the photo above, which was taken around 2 am. During the
White Nights, St. Petersburg is at its most beautiful state.
Not only is everyone up and about, but they are also celebrating, which
makes the city's atmosphere very joyous, festive and romantic.
I wanted to capture the celebratory spirit of the White Nights in my
makeup look, and this is what I came up with: twilight sky, shimmery
lights and stars to indicate night time.
White Nights Eyes How-To:
- Prime the lids and allow a few seconds for the primer to set.
- Use a neutral or white pencil liner to outline your crease (or where you want the shadows to start) -- the so-called cut crease.
- Using a small flat shader brush, pat on a matte sky blue shadow (Parasol) directly to the outline and above.
- Using the same brush and a matte lavender shadow (Ribbonesque) blend the transition of the sky blue by patting on the color to begin the sunset gradient. Use the same technique with a matte pink shadow (Royal Flush) to complete the gradient.
- Add a shimmery sea foam green shadow (Atlanteal) to the center of the lid and a bit of the shimmery blue (Nautilus Prime) to the lower lash line.
- Stack the liquid liners on the movable lid starting with the bright blue on the crease, then the metallics (any order) and finish with the black to give your eye some definition.
- Optional: Add stars, shooting stars and dots to create your twilight sky. Create a gilded brow but swiping a few gold and silver strokes in the direction of hair growth. Finish the look with funky false lashes.
To complete this White Nights-inspired eye look, I added star studded rhinestone half lashes.

- These half lashes are playful, flirty, and complementary to any dramatic eye look. I love the flared spikiness at the outer corners -- the reflection works seamlessly with my drawn-on lash extensions.
