FOTD: "Loud" and Lined

Eyeliners and I rarely get along with each other. But that was before I learned about its transformative powers and how to apply it correctly. Even so, I still try to steer clear of too much eyeliners and the much-famed smokey eye effect. I just apply a discreet line on my upper lash line to open up my eyes a bit. I can't even do a proper cat's eye on myself to save my life!

But I was feeling adventurous one day and decide to try more eyeliner and *sorta* loud make-up to boot.

Without flash


 Who has two thumbs up and needs to have their eyebrows professionally done? THIS GUY.

I still kind of iffy about it, but I'm getting there. I don't like how it opens up my eyes too much. It looks too harsh for my taste. 

LOL, sorry for the shoddy picture. As you can see, I was driving while taking these pics (which I shouldn't do in the first place! Irresponsible driving at its finest!). I need to learn how to take clear macro shots with my camera.

As for my supposed loud make-up, it's barely there, but it's there. One of the problems with having a monolid is not having enough canvass to show your eye make-up. That's why I try to learn specific shading techniques online like creating fake creases. I also tried to look for someone who almost has the same eyeshape as mine and tried to emulate their techniques.

Anyhoo, on to the list.

hello, Mara :)

even your lipstick looks great, I agree that it looks very natural but with a little oomph :) I only know how to wear eyeliner. That is as much make-up basics I know.

Hey DK, thanks for the compliment :) As for me, eyeliners have always been my Waterloo. I can't seem to get a good grasp on applying it.
