LMAO I remember her. She was always wearing 50 pounds of makeup and hair.

 
To me, wearing colorful makeup is no different than wearing a different colored shirt. Lol

You wouldn't call someone wearing blue clothes a hooker.

Today I learned I am a hooker. Good to know.

No one, and I mean NO ONE could cry like Tammy Faye Baker. She would cry and the colors (especially the black) would slide down her face in such a way that it looked like someone smashed a giant spider on her face.

That cracked me up because the scene with Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman in the short blue hooker skirt popped into my head.



 
Speaking of blues... I bought Peacock from TIGI's line of eyeliners. It's a seriously gorgeous peacock blue that I think would look good on more everyone. $17 retail I think.

 
Honey, I'm wearing purple and silver eyes and red lip today, and I work for a church. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> If you wear it with class, it will be classy. 

 
I think it entirely depends on personal choice and there are some amazing coloured eyeshadows out there. Why be boring? show off you personality and individuality with your makeup. I love this Autumns take on the smoky eye look using bright peacock coloured eyeshadows: purples, greens and bronzes ( Link deleted per Terms of Service. ). I don't think blue eyeshadow looks hookerish and BTW Piggydog I think your eyeshadow looks AMAZING! x
 

 
I don't consider colored eyeshadow to bee hookerish at all! I suppose it just depends on how you wear it? I mean bright shadow all the way up to your brow bone might look crazy! I say wear what you like and are comfortable with.. Heck a sexy smokey eye might be considered by some to be hookerish as well...it's all perspective.
