Yes, Like Hollywood-Its Bloggywood Awards Season

Pin It

If you think I gave this award to myself, I didn't.  What goes around comes around.  I have to thank Shannon from Lipstick Musings who gave me this one for this blog.  This blog as you know is the little sister to the other unknown blog I have.  I am actually pretty proud of this blog because it is my coloring book for all to see which is embarrassing at times.  (I think I need to revise some of the posts!)

Glamming Up Hooded Eyes Using Lancome Les Gris L'Wren Palette

Pin It

Borrowing Jane's picture of the Lancome L'Wren Gris palette ($42USD) which I thank her for.  Please be aware that the colors for the tutorial aren't exact since I don't have the actual palette.  When I saw this palette and Jane's eyes, all I could think about was Eva Green's character Vesper in James Bond Casino Royale.  This will be a variation of Vesper's smoky eyes.

Hooded Eyes-Creating Depth and Shape

Pin It In this tutorial I took Jane's gorgeous eyes and show how depth can change the eye shape.  There are basically three areas where depth is created-lid, orbital ridge, and crease.  In hooded eyes, the crease will become hidden and so will part of the lid.  You might think why even emphasize that area if you don't see it.  Unless you are a mannequin and just stand there with your eyes open not blinking then please do not emphasize that area.  But, you do blink, look down, and tilt your head; others will see that area and the shape of your eyes.   

Hooded Eyes -Naturally Defined Look

Pin It I am happy to say that Jane a.k.a ModestyBrown has volunteered her eyes and face.  I had been mesmerized by her beauty and begged her for pictures. 

Jane has hooded eyes.  As I mentioned in my other blog, hooded eyes have the crease hidden yet it is still defined unlike Asian eyes.  Still these eyes may leave some questioning on how to make them look defined without looking too made up.  Sometimes, the eyes can look heavy handed and tired looking.  In this post, I am going to show how to make the eye look natural and defined.  As you know, a natural look is harder than doing a colorful and fun look.
