FOTD June 8, 2011

First time posting with a liquid liner attempt...sloppy, but it works.  lol  I used an Essence Liner Pen...

Nothing special on the face really - concealer, no foundation, elf bronzer, maybelline blush pink pop, Eyes from Ulta Gold rush and Coral Glow... coral glow is actually darker coral and not photographing well on the lower lid. Hard Candy Lipgloss.

Keep practicing and you'll find it gets easier and easier.  Liquid liner was one of the toughest things for me to master and now I just glide it right on like it's second nature. Oh, I wanted to tell you too, I learned a trick to taking pics of your makeup with your eyes closed is to not actually close them but just look down. Hope this helps.
Question, are you a librarian?  I noticed all the bookshelves in the background and little table.  I think I would have been a good librarian as much as I love to read.

@notavamp - makeupgeek does a really good tutorial on eyeliner on her youtube. I use that same technique on my liquid liner and pencil liner.

I didn't see any other posts before Holly's... weird... anyway, Notavampirelvr Love the natural look on you... eyeliner doesn't look too shabby either... trust me it takes a lot of practice and patience...and q-tips were my best friend when i was first learning how to apply liquid eyeliner =)

@Sarra: love the ice cream look! OH man I am totally craving desserts now lol

@Sarra - Totally stealing this look for tomorrow!!!! LOVE IT!

@Holly - your whole look is great... but I love the earings and your lip color. Your face just pops today.

@Jean - I'm glad you name your brands because that eyeliner is officially on my wishlist for Sephora... I might even run out to get it at Ulta over the weekend if its there.  Would look awesome with my greens or the naked palette.... and NO I am not a librarian.... that's my husband's book collection and my 6 y.o.'s desk.  I call this room the Bat Cave... we moved into a circa 1960's Colonial - fixer-upper so you'll see a lot of bad wallpaper and dark panelling in some pictures. We can only do a room at a time and space it out because of my 3 y.o.'s asthma... The sad thing about the books is that what yous see is probably only about 20% of the books in this house. I use the library, but DH reads SciFi/Fantasy which is harder to find. Books don't stay in print as long and tend to disappear from the library.  Thanks for the picture tip! I wondered have everyone was getting such great pictures!

@Hezzie - thanks - googling and adding to playlist.

Holly...i LOVE that electric blue on you! i'm a huge fan of electric blue and an even bigger fan when it's done right /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I went for a more natural look today since I don't have anywhere to go besides the grocery store... and my contacts were really bugging me today, so one of my eyes are super red...

Eye Shadow: Mary Kay Cream Color in Apricot Twist, Milani quad "a touch of Brown" I used the darkest brown in this quad, and Avon's smooth mineral in Bronze stone as my highlighter.

Eye Liner/Brows: Mary Kay Eyeliner in Deep Brown

Mascara: L'Oreal's Voluminous in Carbon Black

Face: Avon's Ideal Shade in Medium Brown, for under eye concealer i used Sheer Cover's concealer in Tan

Blush: ELF in Berry Merry

Lips: Mark in Melon Luxe
