Rich and dark eye shadows for dramatic look

Just ordered a bunch of eye shadows from Scaredy Cat. I love her make up and the packing she use. So unique and personal :) Why feed large cosmetic companies with you incomes, when you can actually give it to a real person and get a real product with a soul.

I felt in love with their red, brown and orange eye shadows at the first sign.

So I ordered a bigger container and got a chance to pic five free samples :) How cool is that?  :D So I picked colors I haven't tried before.

HIRUNDO

ROSE GOLD

DON'T BE KOI

PHEONIX TEARS

FOMHAR

All are red and brown tones again :) I just love them. They looked good when I had red hair, I hope it will be the same now that I'm black. 

I do love dramatic make up but I sometimes find it to cliche and to boring. Not to mention it not always look good and you can end like panda instead of Vamp Queen :D That always happens with baby bats :) You must blend black with other colors to avoid that circle "around your eyes"  look. Especially if your eyes are not that big. You can end having "piggy eyes as I call them;) 

Sorry fans, but that's  NOT a good use of black eyeliner. And I often see girls wearing it all like that with super dark lipstick. Ah well... Who am I to criticize it. I'm just happy it's not me :D Because I personally find this combination  funny looking one.

So, my favorite combination is red and brown plus a little bit of black. I almost never leave without my dots at least four of them (two on the each of  lover lid of the eye).

Red blended with brown and black

+black liquid eyeliner

Silver blended with grey and black

+black liquid eyeliner

Metallic golden blended with light brown

+black liquid eyeliner

Just black liquid eyeliner and a little bit of light golden/brown.

I left my lips pale, since if I would add darker color I would look 10 years older...

I was out of make up already. There was left only some brown shadows and green ones witch I don't like at the moment. And I'm very picky about the color. But I'm safe now :) I can't wait to get the order :D

Next in my Etsy wish list is SaraWen perfume oils. As description says it's "Unique perfume oils inspired by all things Literary, Magical, Historical, Gothic, and Geeky! " 

I have found many review and feedback telling that the scents are magnificent. I cant wait to order them when I'll have extra cash in my PayPal again :)

Milky way?? Fun with eyeliner.

I used the bamboo skewer for applying the eyelineer. The sharp end was for small spots and the blunt was for the bigger  ones. I just taped it into the eyeliner tube and started putting the spots  in desirable way :) The effect would be more astonishing with more dark multicolored shadows. But I was doing it at the end of day just for the practice :) 

Out fit of the day. It was simple. I just went to my friend place which is 2 min. away from where I resident at the moment :D We had a little photo session for our dollies and it ended having a little black/white story. It was really fun making our dollies to pose  according to a story that just came to our minds while doing random shots :D Well I was just making my darling to pose and holding the lamp during the session but it's non less important work. It's hard to be a good lamp holder :D Some photos of my darling bjd are at my Deviant art.

Practice makes it perfect. Some tips for you.

The same day I started this blog I also decided that I'll give much more attention to my make up.  I  was really crappy at it then. And I think I'm so much better today :D At least I like it. I started to use eye liner and it gave much more dramatic look to the eyes. I was afraid to use it before because I thought that it's very complicated to apply it right and I didn't wanted to look like a clown :P But now I'm really confidence in myself.

Here's my todays make up. Of course it's an every day make up. I put much more details when I'm going our for  the evening ;)

I'm in love with dots lately. I just love to add them here and there. It gives a little bit unusual look :P

MAKE UP TIPS

I've found an easy way to make a quick dark eye look. I use a cotton pad for pattern. I cut it side in oval shape, then add it to my eye and start applying the shadows. 

Just put your shadow on and don't be afraid, the line will be nice and clear.

Put the pad like shown and paint your bottom eye lid. From now on there will be no crumbs of black shadows on your cheeks :)

If you are not sure about your abilities to cover the top lid, use a cotton pad pattern too. The edges will be clear and symmetric. 

Want that Cleo look??

You know..Egyptian eyes :)

Put a napkin at the bottom eye lid ....

...and put your eye shadows with a brush along the napkin toward your ear. 

The more you brush, the heaver line will be ;) You can make it as long as you want.

It's supper quick and looks really good. I always had problems painting my eyes symmetric. I have a witch mark on my eyelid and it always gets in a way making heavy make up :D And with cotton pads there is no need of drawing lines all you have to do is shade and add extra lines after it. You can experiment with it too...

So give a try and leave me a comment if it was useful. Or maybe you are already using such thing :)
