Basically it's a sweet, simple eye look using orange and green, with thin black liner and demi-lashes, then paired with plummy lips. I kept the skin part quite simple - just slight contour and highlight, without blusher to make the look a little more versatile.
No color lenses, just normal Asian eyes. =D And I find that the dark blue on the lower lashline helps tone the look down a little, since there's so much shimmer going on on top. And this look pretty much also plays on the importance of GROOMED BROWS - you don't have to draw them in with kohl pencil, but they should have some DEFINITION. Nothing ruins beautiful eye shadow work worse than neglected brows - other than creasing and bleeding, that is.
Here you see the severity of my blemishes. Anyways, this is basically a vague step-by-step guide from bare-face to just before I slathered my lips with black eyeliner and red lipstick. |
