Monday

3 different looks for eyes

I personally have been experimenting with three different looks. scroll down for pictures

Look one: dark lash line lid and fade to crease with matte skin tone near brow

Look two: light lash line lid with medium dark in crease and pearl base on brow

Look three: light in inner corner, dark in out V, and medium shade in crease fade to light near brow


Look One, Dark lash line
black lash line

classic dark lash line

soft natural dark lash line
natural eye makeup grey

Look two: light lash line lid with medium dark in crease and pearl base on brow

Look three: light in inner corner, dark in out V, and medium shade in crease fade to light near brow
 soft focus on the inner part of the eye and darker on the outer corners



I discovered for my particular face structure (DNA+age) that the light lash line look isn't the best for me, it made  me look tired and uninterested in life. I am still toying with the dark lash line versus the dark outer V look, and here is where I sit on the subject. 
Easiest: lower dark lash line hands down
Best: the dark out v look is better suited for my down turn outer corner of my eyes; and unfortunately  it is also the hardest. My challenge with this look is shading and fading. I seem to end of up with eye shadow all over the place, from my lash line to my brow, on the outer part of my eyes. The blending in such a small and important area of the eye is frustrating and I sometimes wonder, just how much time am I going to spend trying to get this blend just right. Yeah, I know, big whoop, haha, the challenges of a makeup junkie.
