MONOCHROME Challenge - CLOSED

Welcome to the latest Makeup Utopia Challenge! This fortnight the theme is MONOCHROME!

A monochrome makeup look doesn't have to mean black and white, you can choose any single colour as the basis of your look. Here are some examples (click on the image to link back to the source):

What beautiful monochrome looks are you going to come up with? I can't wait to see, so please make sure you submit your looks below!

Remember each Challenge FOTD submitted is not only published in the Makeup Utopia Magazine, it also contributes 50 points to your score in the Makeup Utopia Competition!

I got carried away playing with makeup again. What was supposed to be a wearable red-orange look ended up in something I am rather embarrassed to post. But in the interest of posterity and future laughs when I'm old and grey, here are the photos.

I like the fact that you chose gold for this look, it makes something that could be very unwearable into somethig that could be work appropriate. Thanks for participating! x
