So what do you do when the look you're going for isn't working at all? You just roll with what you already started and, well, wing it from there. :P
It started with a graphic look I had in mind: sharp, bold liner, bold brows, black everything. EH, what happened? Well, let's just say it didn't work. My lines aren't going where I want them to go, I got black blobs all over my eyes and hands, I got frustrated because I'm effing up the eye look, yada yada yada. The moment I knew it wasn't working, I knew I had to change plans. I already started on the brow, might as well do something with the eye area, yes?
I had no idea for this look. All I knew was that I wanted some color and I really wanted to use a green shadow. So one product led to another and here we are. I guess while I was working on this look, I pictured that I was a queen of a fictitious race of creatures and that I wanted something that's really unconventional, a bit grubby, something that's weird and not at all wearable. This isn't really an extreme look as I didn't have a lot of time to put more details to it but I'm quite pleased with what I have now. Plus, I get to color my lashes white which is my favorite thing to do because it's just nice to see them like that. Haha. Weirdo alert.
Anyway, after I decided that I'll be keeping the bold weird brow, I went straight to priming the lid with MAC Painterly. After that, I applied Bad to the Bronze all over my upper lid and a little bit on the lower lid. I used my fingers for this and the messier, the better! After that, I went to my green shadow, Nice Stems!, and applied that to the inner and outer corners of the eye, leaving the center areas alone. I didn't bother putting shadow on top of Bad to the Bronze because it sets anyway and I pretty much like the color on its own. This step is optional but I added Honeymoon, an antique muted gold with an olive undertone, on top of Nice Stems! but that's only to enhance the shimmer of the shade. I didn't pack Honeymoon; I just lightly added it, After that, I curled my lashes and scrubbed Milk on a spoolie then used that as my mascara. I also used it to line my lower waterline. And that's pretty much it! Oh, and if you're wondering why there are flecks on my brows, it's because I dusted a bit of Half Baked on it. In hindsight, I should've skipped it because it looks like brow dandruff, tbh. :))
