Okay, for those of you who started reading my blog a year ago, you know that I've never done FOTDs (Face Of The Day) shots before. It's because
1. I'm pretty rubbish at makeup and prefer to stick to talking about skincare products,
2. I don't have impressive makeup to begin with, and
3. Even though in real life I love to camwhore (I keep that fact to myself :P), I'm embarrassed to show you what I look like in real life, because then you'll see the bags under my eyes which I'm not proud of, and the fine lines under 'em. In fact, before today, all you've seen are that tiny photo of me in my About Me page, and at the most, half of my face when I showed you some of the blush I used.
So after much deliberation, I've decided to break that pattern, and do a short, very simply FOTD picture for you (okay, it was mainly because I was bored :P). Now first of all, I don't fancy makeup well, so don't be expecting beautiful shots like you see on Temptalia (who does excellent FOTD shots, by the way).
My style of makeup is always understated, never too bold, even though I love experimenting with bright colours. Many a time you probably would not be able to see the actual colours of the eyeshadow unless I close my eyes. That's another reason why I've never done FOTDs. I'm boring :p
Now I've mentioned before somewhere that I used to wear blue eyeshadow and have regretted using it because they look like blue crayon on my lids. Despite that faux pas, I still love blue eyeshadow, but have learned to tone it way down. I've used Prestige eyeshadows for this look, and I love 'em (a review on 'em coming up soon!) to bits.
Without further ado, my mug. Tadah!

My heart stopped for a second there when I saw this post title on my my blogroll! I even rechecked the blog name to make sure I was reading it right. Congratulations, Tine!! You look lovely, by the way, and that subtle blue is great for daytime. Indelible gel eyeliner in chocolate mousse is one of my favorite liners to use.
Aww... pretty!~
May I ask what brush you use to line with your indelible?
LOL. I got the same colour as you as well ^^
Girl! You should do more FOTDs!!! You look so pretty! So why hide the pretty face?? I love your FOTD and you looked so fresh!!!! I love it!I can really see the sparkle in your last photo..could be flash, but I don't care..you look pretty!

I share the same pain like you, e/s colour cannot be seen when my eyes are opened. and the fact my eyes are small, and hidden/mono eyelid :(
