first FOTD

[crikey]

Time to delurk with an FOTD...

Please forgive the shaggy/messy brows, I'm still doing battle with the weird patchiness and shape of them. Pictures taken in daylight. Probably should have done them in artificial light to bring up the shine and colours, because the eye makeup is a bit more intense than this shows...

NC15 studio fix

Eyes:
MAC malt as base on lid and crease
shu uemura brun 885 on eyelid
MAC satin taupe on crease
shu uemura gold 390 on outer browbone
MAC brule on rest of brow bone
MAC sketch on wet brush as eyeliner and under eye
Bobbi Brown black plum on eyebrows

Chanel Violette lipstick
generic drugstore mascara

any feedback or suggestions welcome!

thank you for the kind comments! It's a little scary posting a first one here where so many people have incredible skills. Hopefully I'll figure out a better combo of techniques for the makeup =and= the photos!

entipy: I been accused of being part goldfish in the past! The trouble with this eyeshape is that I have yards of eyelid, and things like smoky eyes just look odd on me. Too much solid dark. There must be a way to work around that...
