So while window shopping I couldn't help but visit the make-up section where I found these affordable yet good quality cosmetics.  I'm finally collecting real make-up, meaning I could finally replace my kiddy stuff. :)

Brown Ribbon & Green Eyeliner

Lot's of shirts like this one tend to be loose and difficult to wear without an undershirt, so I quickly adjusted it by tying a long ribbon to the back into a bow.  Helped keep it up and changed the look of the back.

Since it was cool indoors, I added this sweater to my outfit.

Today, I also decided to experiment again with my eye make-up!

I painted the lids pretty simple using some primer, a gold base, and dark brown for the crease.

On the bottom, I used a light green and a white for the inner corner.

I proceeded to use a shimmery green eyeliner, that I softened up by applying a bit of the gold over.

Then for the final touches of course my favorite, mascara :)

The sunshine has been so amazing lately!   I'm finally starting to tan again after being white all winter long, and my entire mood has been lifted.   Mid-semester  is definately the hardest time of the entire school semester, trying to catch up on all those late assingments, write papers, and just keep up.   But God has definately been helping out, by sending in Mr. Sunshine.  Thus in honor of the spring weather appearing and having finally done laundry, my bestie Kayla and I dressed up and got all dolled-up.

Dramatic Eyes

A  few Fridays ago I tried to do my eye make-up differently.  Took me forever to get it how I liked it, but in the end I thought it looked nice.

So this is what I did.  I used eyeliner, mascara, and three different shades of eyeshadow.

I used the darkest eyeshadow (it was almost black but not quite) on the inside of the eye and then blended it into a dark brown.  Which I mostly applied on the crease line where it's most visible.  Lastly, I also applied a very light brown to the very top above the crease line. 

This is probably a style I would do more for a party or something, however it can also work during the daytime though I personally tend to prefer a natural look.

Well hope you liked it.  Have a Great Day!
