Yeah that's right, I'm going to post 730 pictures. Just kidding.
I posted these pictures on a regular forum that I post at... a very large forum... I got a number of various comments ranging from "I love it ! I wish I was experimental" to "I think it's pretty and everything, very talented. But in most of the pictures I just think it's a little over kill." (OVERKILL?!?!??!?!) and someone asked me if I ever sport a more "natural" look like "browns, tans, etc"
Ugh, the 3rd comment I just told you guys is the worst... browns? I wish. I wish browns looked good on me. I wish I wasn't pale and cool toned and that browns didn't make me look sick and I wish I didn't have to wear makeup at all without looking like a twelve year old
anyway... here are the pictures I posted.
Those two are from 2004 when I was just starting to figure out eye makeup application... not even MAC makeup, I didn't know it existed back then... Just so you know where I started and where I've ended up... I suppose
This really isn't the best picture, and yeah, we're making that incredibly dumb face on purpose... but this is right after I got into MAC.. summer 2004... and all I owned was Pink Freeze and Creme De Violet... I don't really wear pinks too much anymore...
Those are from last year in April... I was in California at the time and about to drive down to LA to see my ex boyfriend who I hadn't seen for about a year... so yeah, I did it up a little bit... this is more or less my "blues" look
Easter 2005... my favorite eyeshadow, MAC's Brill... I have other colors on too, but I don't remember what they are...
Huge span in time from previous one (i'm sure some were lost)... this was for my work Christmas party 2005... I wanted to go for a smokey, sultry look.
Another blue eyed look.. This was also the day I bought my "Dubonnet" lipstick
So I was celebrating finally finding a red lipstick that turned up red on me. I didn't actually leave the house with any of this makeup on. It was a boring saturday night and my boyfriend and I were just sitting around so I just decided to screw around with my makeup. JUST so you know that I didn't leave the house looking like such a clown
This was for a challenge on Specktra. I recreated Kevin Aucoin's Marissa Berenson look..

and finally... one crazy look but one of my favorites because I love how the colors look together (a lot of people probably won't).. this is a look with 3 of the colors from the 2005 MAC Holiday temptations Warm eye palette.
and one more, but on a different day of the same color combo:
