FOTD: Red and Black

I know that the fashion rule is to NOT wear red eye shadow. I saw a tutorial from Pixiwoo (on youtube) where one of the ladies said that you can wear red eye shadow if you line your eyes pretty darkly with black or some other dark color. I wanted to take a try at it and see how it came out. This look is pretty dramatic, so I paired it with a rather subtle lip. I think that it is OK to break fashion or makeup rules. Makeup, to me, is about having fun and expressing myself.

Fourth of July

 Happy Independence Day everyone! I really wanted to do a fun patriotic look to celebrate this holiday. I used shades of blue and white on the lid with some fun gold glitter to spice it up a little bit. I also created a winged liner look using some red eyeliner to give a little pop. I kept the rest of the face neutral to balance out the dramatic eyes. I'm really happy with how the look came out. Let me know what you think!
