Okay.  I really struggled with the shape of the eyeshadow on this one.  I'm not sure I got it to where I wanted it (I actually tweaked it immediately after taking the pictures, too), but I was happy enough to stop obsessing!  I have a droopy crease on my left eye, coupled with an oddly high brow arch on my right eye, which is double trouble, if you ask me.  In any case, it's just makeup.  I tell myself that.  :)  It's not supposed to be perfect (and neither is my face).

I love how these colors make my eyes look super blue.

All in all, it was a great makeup day.  Everything wore exceptionally well on me, I am pleased to say.  The lipstick was probably the most finicky bit, but not in a major or truly annoying way.  I just had to check ever so often to make sure that the gold shimmer bits weren't wearing unevenly or bunching up in funny spots.

I realize that I used an absurd amount of things on my eyes.  Some days I just get lost in doing it and keep finding things I want to add in.  So I do.

Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions or comments.  :)
