I'm not an eyeshadow person + Sexy beast's big day!

Applying eyeshadow is truly an art, and the proper technique to achieve the right look is seriously tediously hard to master. So many people screw it up all the time.

Which is why lazy me always just chooses to forgo colourful eyelids. My mascara is usually enough and serves me well and faithfully, as demonstrated by this blog post.

I was looking through some older webcam photos and I found some pics from when I was playing around with the two poor solitary eyeshadows that I own. It inspired me to try out eyeshadow again, because I finally bought myself some eyeliner.

Yes, you heard me right, I've gone 16 years without eyeliner! The reason being is the same as not wearing eyeshadow... my mascara is already dramatic enough, with eyeliner it becomes over-the-top. Wearing it daily is out of the question.

So I guess this is officially my very first attempt with eyeliner. I need practice! But I actually think it's quite boleh tahan right? Lol.

Basically it's just shimmery pink eyeshadow, dark brown eyeliner and mascara. Really simple. Didn't want to bite of more than I can chew when I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm really not kidding when I say I am purely a mascara girl!

Naked eye to begin with. Yuck.

Step 1: Curl lashes. I can't emphasize how important it is to have a good eyelash curler and knowing how to use it well.

Step 2: Apply mascara. As usual, my Maybelline Cat Eyes mascara.

Step 3: Pink shimmery winged eyeshadow over top lid.

Step 4: Dark brown eyeliner on top lid and 3-quarter inwards on lower lid. Extended outwards into a wing. Join top and bottom.

And uh, that's all?

The photos were taken at the beginning of the month, and as you can see, my eyebrows are cleanly plucked. I happen to pluck my eyebrows regularly, but as I'm sure you know, hair grows back quickly. Please don't make assumptions based on one photo from a previous month and learn to elaborate properly in your comments.

Surprisingly, I've discovered that winged eyeliner as we know it today, is nothing new at all. I was watching an episode of Bewitched (the show) on TV and Samantha Stephens (the witch, yes) was wearing cute black winged eyeliner! And that show was from the 1960's please!

Okay la, this was the best photo I could find of it.

Elizabeth Montgomery who played Samantha Stephens has even passed away already. Yup, a woman so old she's dead wore winged eyeliner before anybody in Hollywood, anyone in fashion magazines and you. Interesting, huh?
