From the beginning.... Images
I was thinking this would be a cool idea for a thread.
Specktra has TREMENDOUSLY helped me learn more about makeup and application.
I have seen so many Specktra-ettes improve drastically over time and love looking at the comparison from first FOTD to now.
So, repost your first FOTD and one of your most current and look at the difference!!!
Specktra rawks! 
Discuss this thread HERE, let's keep this thread for our pictures only!
April 2007
March 2008

Re: From the beginning....
FIRST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  November '07.
Feb '08
Also Feb '08
Eye's only. Though I did get better at foundation and face make-up.. My first thing ever was an EOTD, so I only put up eyes. 
I don't think there's much change though, tbh.

yuck- I don't like that first picture anymore. Funny that I thought it was great when I first posted it! Neat to see a difference though (I think?)

Re: From the beginning....
Oooh, cool thread.
Technically, this was before I joined Specktra, from when I first started wearing make up, April 06-
First time I posted it on the internets (old LimeCrime boards), April 07-
^Man, I thought I was hot shit
First Specktra FOTD (June 07)! Nice hair, nerd.
Annnd my most recent FOTD
Man, my hair looks so much better, now. Don't even mention the make up >.< I think I was more confident in my mu skills when I was crappy, haha.

Re: From the beginning.... Images
I don't have my first FOTD on Specktra anymore, the pictures are long gone, but here's the first time I experimented with something other than neutrals:
March '07
And here's a couple of my most recent FOTD posts:
April '08
 
Amazing how much I've learned in one year!

Re: From the beginning.... Images
this isn't actually my first...but pretty close to it. i don't think i still have the ones i posted before this, for obvious reasons haha.  i thought i was hot shit back in october of two thousand and six...and i used about seventy billion and four different products for this look.
then by february of this year, my cheeks had gained some serious weight and i backed off a little on the bright colours and face products.

Re: From the beginning.... Images
I don't remember the exact dates on these but they are all from a few years ago, when I hadn't really discovered wearing foundation yet, lol!
Experimenting a few years ago....wth was I thinking? I think 2005.
Horrible skin due to tanning....this must have been 2005 I think. Yeah, glitter ALL OVER my chest area looks so hot.
I hate this FOTD now! Not sure what year that was...
Realizing purple looks terrible on me.
Not knowing how to blend propperly, and what's with those color combinations?
And now for some more recent ones:
Specktra and tutorials on the Internet have def helped me improve a lot!!

Yo!
I guess I'll put up my full face as well, especially since I think I've improved so much just with my most recent FOTD post.

Ohh, how fun! Great thread Hilly.
Before specktra: Aug 06. Sunburn, no concept of flattering colors, no skin products and too dark lipstick. Oh, and too thin brows!
My first fotd, Jan 07
Holy lack of blending batman, also Jan 07

Re: From the beginning.... Images
well, I haven't been on here all that long, so I will post pictures from before I was on Specktra.
sorry none of the pictures really show too much of the shadow I was wearing...I didn't take the pics for that intention at the time. 
Summer '02
260379053_l.jpg
yeah, I had pink hair and pink shadow to match. probably some cheap brand...I was pretty darn young.
2003 or '04
260380468_l.jpg
I was really into minimal eyes and I still love that l/g. It is something by Estee Lauder. I've had to replace that color like...a million times. But I still love it. It's been discontinued, so I had to stock pile it. I think I currently have three.
2006
n16707060_33464278_3923.jpg
I still love that shadow. It's a nice plum. Makes my eyes look fab. This is when I discovered the magic of eyeshadow and since I'm an artist I went to town with it.
now-ish
22SMALL_pp.jpg
I grew out my hair and decided that light purple shadow really isn't for me. But I also discovered the magic of foundation. I went for years being told I didn't need it. I finally invested in some by Estee Lauder, I don't really like it, so I'm gonna get some MAC ASAP. oh...and I love that blush. someone told me it was too light for my face. I think they were just trying to find something to complain about.
I figure I still have a ways to go as far as being good at applying makeup, but since I'm an artist and painter I love to experiment. I'm sure I will post more pics of crazy things in the future!
EDIT:
I thought I would post more of my recent FOTDs:
June 1, 2008
June 10, 2008
July 25th
July 30th
Sometime in August
Sept
Oct 3rd
October 19th?

Re: From the beginning.... Images
Well I've mostly just been lurking since I joined and only started posting a few days ago, so I only have one FOTD.
Here's one from before I joined, when I was just a lowly lurker (spring 2005) Little too heavy on the liner if you ask me:
Last year, around this time:
And my first/most recent FOTD:

Great idea!
Eeek - this is December 2005 - didn't know much about eyeshadow
hairup.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
December 2006:
August 2007 - notice the non matching foundation on monotone lid
and September 2008
I think I am getting better! Haha
