Look: Classy Illusion

 Here is one of two looks I did over the weekend, just for fun. I wanted to use some specific colors from my (huge) BFTE Cosmetics stash because they are such gorgeous colors and I thought they would look pretty together. I'm terrible at using multiple lid colors but I did my best, lol. Please keep scrolling for more :)

To my frustration, the above pics were all taken before I realized I'd forgotten to line my waterline. :( This often happens; as my eyes are extremely sensitive, I usually save waterlining for the very last step, since my eyes will water uncontrollably after that. Once again I just plain forgot... I was in a hurry to photograph before I lost the light.
The below pics were taken after waterlining with Urban Decay Perversion pencil; I must say I like it so much more with the waterline... it looks more complete:

 I had intended to do a bold lip as well but ran out of time so I slapped on this gloss I got in my Target Beauty Box. Sort of a MLBB rose shade, pretty nice. :)

It felt good to do makeup again, even though it hurts my fibromyalgia (especially the taking pictures part, blah) but the end result is worth some pain, right?
Thanks so much for reading and stay tuned for another look coming soon, maybe later this week!
