Just personal taste I think... I would have pulled the e/l out a little further to give the eyes a more exotic/sexy look. You got the blending really well, shimmer looks great and your liner is really well smudged.

 
OMG Laura...this is my all time fave look from you!!!! your smokey eye looks natural yet mysterious. you did very very well for a first try (it was your 1st try, right?).

I think it looks perfect like that, but try what Cirean suggested just to make it a little bit more dramatic and see if you like it

btw, I tried out that maybelline lipstick at the drugstore today but it was way too pale on me...looks awesome on you though

Thanks for the tips girls.. I did try pulling out the liner a bit but i never did that before and thought it looked stupid so i rubbed it off!! I'll try that out next time

And yup Andrea its my first time!

 
FACE:

Maybelline True Illusion

usual concealers

Artdeco blush #35

MAC Irridescent Powder Pressed in Belightful

EYES:

Artdeco e/s #82 on lid, #92 on crease

Artdeco e/s #27 on browbone

black eye kohl

Jade Perfect Cream mascara

LIPS:

Maybelline Watershine Diamonds l/s in Crystal Pink

MAC l/g C-Thru

good thing I tried this out BEFORE going out. I used a bit too much blush (the artdeco blush is really pigmented for being this cheap!!!) and I might do a nude lip instead of the pink instead tonight.

Do you guys think this is too much color for my innocent looking face??

Great application Andrea! Did the eye look feel dark to you? I think you could go much darker and look really stunning! Your hair looks sexy pulled over like that.

Geez everyone looks so good, I'm starting to feel the pressure to perform tomorrow LOL

no, I´ve done eye looks this dark before and was comfortable wearing them. but before I used only very light blush and nude lipgloss with dark eye mu....which I felt comfortable with but I think it kinda washes me out cause I have a lighter skintone, so all you could see was EYES *lol*

 
Laura I agree with the girls it would look much better if you pulled more the eyeliner out!! It's the darkest eye look I've seen from you!!! Nice try!!

thanks Sophia. I guess I´ll try to apply more and more each time so I can used to that look...I just feel very "goth" if there´s too much color UNDER my eyes
