This is my evening look from yesterday. I used the Color Plush Eyeshadow in Sapphire Siren. This one is by far my favourite palatte in the whole collection! It's very metallic and looks amazing with my eye colour! I got a ton of compliments on it. I applied the highlight colour on my entire brow bone, the greenish colour on the whole lid, the dark blue colour in the outer corner of my eyes and blended towards the centre, and used the black as the eyeliner for my top lash line.

This is from awhile ago but I have been so busy and then was away for the past few weeks so I am just getting the chance to post now. I got this look using the Legendary Lilac. I used the lightest colour as the brow bone highlighter, the second colour as the lid colour, the third colour as the crease shade and the darkest as the outer corner colour.

Ok so I am a person who wears eyeglasses or else I can't see at all. I do wear my contacts daily now though because I HATE wearing glasses all the time. I have been wearing them for 12 years now and I absolutely hate having to wear them. I wish my eyes weren't so bad that I could just wear glasses to maybe see distances and not need them for the majority of the time. Maybe I wouldn't mind them if I didn't have such horrible vision...My normal prescription glasses are soooooo thick unless they are thinned, and even when they are thinned out they are still really thick looking. It was something I have always been self aware of and they always made me feel ugly. It didn't help that I also got really good grades and did well in school so it added to the whole nerd thing that I used to be teased about. Last year I made the decision to switch from glasses to contacts. Well I never really made the decision the decision was made for me. I did a magazine shoot and couldn...

Today I used the Carbon Frost Colour Pearls Marble Eye shadow. I used the marble side for my whole lid then the gray side for the outer corner. I think so far this one might be my favourite colour for work. I like the smokey eye and the way the marble side of this shadow shows up and actually looks marbled.

This is the fourth look using the Maybelline Eye Studio collection. This look was done by my sister yesterday. She used the Legendary Lilac quad to create the look. Makeup: Eyeshadow: Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Plush quad in Legendary Lilac

This was my Saturday Eye Studio Look with everything on my eyes from the new collection. The eyeliner I used on my bottom lash line is the very black gel liner. It was very easy to apply and went on really smooth and really nice. It's not at all what I was expecting. I do own gel eyeliner in a different brand and its more of a pain to apply, so I rarely ever use it. I think the very black is a little too dark and harsh for me for everyday, so my sister may get it instead of me. I like more gray shades since I have blue eyes unless I am going out at night and need something more dramatic. The eyeshadow is the sinful sinnamon which I absolutely love. I didn't think it would look great at first because it is a pinkish red colour. I thought it would make me look like I had pink eye, but it goes on like a very natural colour. It looks better on than in the palatte. I love the sparkle in this one and its not too bright that I can't wear it to work every day. Makeup: Eyeliner - Ma...
