In general, I'm usually a lips person. And by that I mean that I focus very much on the lips when I put on my makeup. I like a bright lip and I think the color of your lipstick can very much make or break the look. Well.. Today I decided to do something different and focus on the eyes and making them my focal point.
For eye shadow I started with a matte nude type color all over the lid. I then used a matte taupe in the crease, and a matte dark chocolate brown at the outer corners which I blended way out to make it very soft looking. I smudged some deep purple into my lower lashline to make the green in my eyes brighter. I used a shimmery pearl color at my inner corners, and lined my waterline with a white kohl pencil. Some black mascara and winged liner finished the look.
I opted for a nude lip and a very small amount of matte blush, as I wanted to keep the focus on my eyes. The lipstick I am wearing here is Rimmel's Nude Delight.
Because of my focus on the lips I don't have a whole lot of skill in the eye makeup department- I'm still learning and practicing. However, I think I did okay today and accomplished my goal of making my eyes stand out a bit.
