A Colorful Look I Wanted to Try Out from YouTube

27th August, 2010

I forget what it was called because I got it from eyeXluvXmakeup (on Youtbue – who I subscribe to) who got her version inspiration from JulieG (who is also on Youtube – who I am NOT subscribed to so I didn’t see the original version). I like to do some very colorful, sometimes unwearable looks and dark, vampy looks on the weekends and when I go out so of course I decided to go for it.

I wanted to try it out on my eyes because I have “chinky” eyes and less lid space to work with so that those with the chink factor can see that although it doesn’t look like the original looks that inspired me, that it does in fact work for us. When I open my eyes the only part of eyeshadow that shows is my brow bone highlight and a little of my upper lid which sucks, but this is the eye shape that God has given to me so I have no choice but to work with them. When I look down and over that’s when you can see my look perfectly, but who looks down to the side all day? LOL.

I subscribe to mostly Asian beauty gurus who do eyeshadow tutorials because most of them share my eye shape. Normally, I don’t copy looks from others to post on my blog, but I really like my version of the look so I decided to post it.

Anyway, here is the eye look and all of the stuff I used…
