Each Friday, I am going to try to dedicate myself to trying something new with my eyes. Whether it’s new color or pigments, techniques, blends, etc., on my blog, Fridays is when I will be experimenting. Today, for the challenge, I wanted something bold but professional enough to wear in the office. This is what I came up with:
Urban Decay, 'Half Baked' at the brow
Urban Decay 'Gunmetal' in the crease, 'Ecstacy' on lower lid
Stila Convertabile Eye Color (liner) in Onyx (top and bottom)
Full look : Clinque High Definition Lashes Mascara
I apologize for the poor lighting, I took the above pics with my Blackberry. Oh, and excuse my sleepwear. LOL. What do you think of this week’s challenge? I appreciate any tips, suggestions and the like so be sure to comment!
Nov 21, 2009i LOVE LOVE the eyeshadow but i'm not sure how i feel about the eyeshadow + lip color… i think i would have liked to have either seen something more nude or darker with a matte finish…
Nov 21, 2009Yeah I get what you are saying about the lip color. It's a old standby color that I use all the time. I am going to start experimenting with more lip colors as well. Thanks for the feedback!
Nov 21, 2009I agree 100%. I should've had my eyes closed. Didn't really think of it until after I posted the pics. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! 
Nov 21, 2009I love it. I'm not really a make-up girl (meaning, I have no idea how to do this…even though it may be simpler than I think, lol!) But I would definitely rock this to work. I do agree with Ladebelle about choosing a more neutral lip color to focus the attention to the eyes.
Nov 21, 2009I am pretty new to the make-up application world myself and yes, it is a lot easier than it looks. If you are a creative person (which I know you are), it kind of applies itself. Thanks for checking out the look and I hope to post more of my applications as I get more comfortable with it. Looks like I need to branch out and buy some new lip colors as well.
Nov 25, 2009Hey sis. Go to http://www.zoya.com and look at their Hot Lips collection. Manyyyy colored lip balms. They last long and feel luxurious on your lips. Clinique also makes great lip glosses/lip sticks. Loveeee your make up, i'm learning from you.
Nov 30, 2009I love it! the purple and gold are very complimenting colors
Nov 30, 2009Thank you! I'm improving on my make-up application skills where eye color is concerned. Having fun while doing it too! Thanks for stopping by!
Mar 4, 2010Ok, of all of the looks on the site, I like this one the best. But I'm going to chalk it up to me being such a neutrals type of girl myself! And I love vibrant shades of purple Good work! I should probably spread my wings a bit on the color front, but I have a fear of looking like Mimi from the Drew Carey show, so….I'll just have to live vicariously through your posts.

love the color mix — maybe try with your eye closed would make it optical better ? ! @cdmtx65
