Man, doing creative photoshop (as opposed to removing blemishes, etc.) to your own photos are such a PAIN. They always look kind of eh when I view them on another computer...dammit =___=

I did some makeup practice on my thigh. Can you tell what I am trying to draw? :p

I tried to do a smokey rock-chick eyeshadow tutorial but failed spectacularly, so here are pics of the one eye that look presentable. :p

I got my hands on this very lovely dark auburn wig, in a style that reminds me of girls in Non-no (very natural yet pretty). So I decided to try a soft earth-tone look with focus on naturally full-looking eyelashes. I think it turns out quite nicely! :)
I used this new Pupa eyeshadow which has very awesome metallic red-browns. I did not use primer for this look and the colors are already crazy bright!
Put a mid-brown shade all over your lids and a bit beyond your crease.
Add a darker brown over the mid-brown, stopping just under your crease and focusing the color in the outer corner.
Line your upper lashline with a black-brown eyeliner pencil, and color in your upper waterline if you like. Go over the eyeline with the darkest brown shadow in your palette. Also, put a very light application of the mid-brown (the first color you applied) along the outer half of your lower lashline as eyeliner.
Curl your lashes and apply plenty of mascara. Use a fine-toothed lash comb to separate each lash so it does not look clumpy.
Apply mascara to your lower lashes as well, and highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a shimmery light beige shade.
If you use false lashes, put on a pair that is thick but not too long. Here I am actually using two pairs of shorter criss-cross false lashes to get this full-lash effect. :)
Finally, color in your eyebrows, and put on the rest if your makeup.
I used an orange blush that has pink shimmers in it, and applied a lipgloss in a similar color.
Finally, put on your wig and outfit, and you are ready to head out! :D
I never noticed how large and prominent my nose is until I put on this wig with such thick bangs! XD
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! <3

Pink is one of those very deceiving colors to wear. You would think that a color that appears naturally on your face would be easy to use, but it usually end up making your eyes look either puffy or infected. o_O
I think the best way to counter this is to throw in a bit of brow or grey for shading, and shop around to find the perfect shade of pink for your skintone. Usually if you have warmer skintone, a peachy-pink is better, while if you are a "vampire" like me, a blue-pink looks good.
I applied a light shimmer pink to the inner half of my eyelids, dark matte pink to the outer half and winging it out a bit, a shimmery red-brown in the outer V, and shimmery white to my browbone and inner corners of my eyes.
I still feel that my eyes still look slightly infected, but overall I am loving this FOTD :)

Overall I am quite pleased with my recent purchases, and boy am I glad I didn't buy something that I can only wear to a dark club without scaring half the people in the room! XDDDD

This is my entry for Miss Rubey aka Me Myself n Makeup's Shoe-inspired contest! I heard about this contest the day before it ends, so I whipped up this look in less than an hour. XD
I used white facepaint, white and black eyeliner pencils, black gel eyeliner, dark grey brow pencil, pink eyeshadow and pink lipstick for this look. Everything is drawn on free-handed with no previous planning.
It was after I finished my makeup that I realized my t-shirt totally didn't go with my look, oh well :P
