Look of the Day: Got Back?

Play time. Recently I've been rediscovering my Coastal Scents Smacks, expect for Got Back?, a dark coppery chocolate color. It's definately not a spring shade but I wanted to try using it for a look so I ended up with this dark copper/gold metallic look. I like the eyes but I think the eyes plus the lips is a bit much unless its for a costume party or something. The gold plus dark lips makes me think of some evil powerful Roman queen or something. Or Angelina Jolie in her earlier days (god what a beautiful woman!)

Look of the Day: Golden Russet Eyes

Tried my first look of the day. Lots of E.L.F. stuff from my haul a few weeks ago. What I learned:

-Wow it's hard to accurately photograph makeup. Tips anyone!? Especailly tips from people like me with hooded eyes! I can see my eyeshadow when I look in a mirror but in photographs my lids just disappear! Weird...
-My lashes are TINY! I'm so used to looking at blogs where people use falsies so my look ridiculously dinky in comparison.
- I am very lopsided! My eyes/eyebrows/hooded-ness of eyes and my smile! Hmmm. Oh well.

Full face shot.
