I went to a house party with a friend on saturday night, so wanted a pretty casual make up look.
The eyes didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but hey, I am still learning. Again, almost all the shadow disappears when my eyes are open, so I guess I need to work on that. Please comment with any tips for me.

Avon Ideal shade cream to powder foundation in Shell
NYC color wheel in peach glow

I did notice this time with the foundation that it really shows up any dry patches, something I don't get with my usual liquid foundation. It also didn't last amazingly, as photos from later in the night reveal a lovely shiny face! As my skin had a few break outs, I decided to use the Avon concealer, as it is medicated to treat the skin. I'm not sure if it made much difference, but it certainly didn't make things any worse.
So, please send in any eyeshadow tips for my tiny little eyes. I guess the fact that I wear glasses alot doesn't help either, so any tips for eye looks for glasses wearers wanted too!
You look lovely sweet! Ive not got very big eyelids either :( I just bring the colour up a little bit higher so you can see it when my eye is open. xx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I have the same problem with the shadow disappearing when I open my eyes. I just put more on and higher up on the lid.

My sister has small eyelids like yours so when i do her make up for her i put the crease colour slightly above the actual crease - that way it doesn't look like there is dark eyeshadow in a stupid place but it looks like there is a bit more definition. For your look i would've used the darker purple just above the crease and then used the lighter shimmer to blend it out!
ReplyDeleteI also wear glasses and don't think you should let that stop you doing anything - i just wear the exact same with them as i would without! Here is one look i did for my birthday http://xxshivvyxx.blogspot.com/2011/01/birthday-make-up.html hope it helps!
