If you are unaware my passion in life is makeup and while I love to learn about makeup and play with makeup I rarely practice on anyone but myself. I decided it would be a good idea to document some of my practices and since my father has a very nice Nikon camera I have some somewhat nice photos to display what I’ve done. Please keep in mind this is all for fun and when I’m doing my own makeup I’m not at all a perfectionist.
Inspired by the beautiful Lisa Eldridge’s new video on dramatic ‘Smokey Metallic Eyes’ (left) I attempted a recreation. (Please ignore the fact that I look sad/retarded in the following photos. I was trying to get my eyes the right way!)
Now while her copper is more of an orange base where as mine is definitely more of a red base and she made the shape much more winged, I still like the way mine turned out (especially in person!) The only thing I would change is the way I did my foundation. I am learning the hard way that no matter how I try to like it – me and MAC’s pro longwear SPF 10 are not friends.
ps. Someone please teach my father how to do close up beauty shots. pps. Also please ignore that these were taken in my dark living room at 9:30 pm.
