Red

You all know how everyone warns about red and blue eyeshadows, right? Red makes your eyes look ill and sore, and blue makes you look tacky. Well, if you use them wrong they do make those effects. So I decided to try them. I tried red first - it became more pinkish red that I was thinking about but hey, at least I have a reason to try a more neutral red eyeshadow soon.

I actually liked the result more that I thought I would like. It is even more dramatic in real life, in this it does not look so wild. This inspires me to try some very, very colorful eyeshadows soon. Maybe playing more with a liner, perhaps?
I used my Coastal scents palette and some Grimas eyeshadows, Rimmel's eyeliner and Isadora's kohl. I still need to try to do my eyebrows better. I am thinking about plucking the ends off again and rising them a bit.

Red does not make your eyes look bloodshot and sore if you use a vibrant red bravely. If it is a dull red it will really look bad - so with reds it is actually better to put it on very brightly. Too bad it clashes almost always with my hair - luckily I ordered a black wig.

I realised that the color was almost identical with my hat/hairband thing I bought when I learned I got a job in my ex working place, Bijou Brigitte. The hat is actually from there :D And either my hair needs a cut or I need to grow it, dunno yet which I will do.

And here you go, some bad posing pics from my cellphone. I wonder how I manage to take better selfies with a cellphone than with my camera. Damnit.
