At home sick & bored - thought I would try something new

[Cleopatra]

So I am at home sick and half a day in of being home sick from work I am bored out of my brain. So what better to do than play with makeup.

This is quite a way out there face for me. A lot brighter than I would normally wear such bright colours on my eyes. I don't think such bright colours suit me

I think that shade of blue suits you a lot more than you think! Is it Freshwater e/s? If you get the chance, please do share what you used so we can get inspired!

Kiddies play with toys, grown-up girlies play with makeup

Thank you for your kind words everyone

I don't normally wear such vibrant colours (I think because I don't like attracting attention to myself) but your lovely comments have given me a bit more confidence that I can perhaps pull this off (well maybe more of a night time look). Every time I come here to Specktra I see all of these wonderful looks on everyone else but when I post my looks usually I feel so wishy washy in comparison.

I still need lots of work on my blending and placement though I think. I tried to do the winged look with the fluidline but I just can't get the placement right as it appears too low....

I think those colours look really fabulous on you. This is my favourite look on you so far!

 

[KJam]

I think that looks beautiful on you - you should definitely embrace the blues!

 

[Jennifer Mcfly]

I agree, these colors look awesome on you! Good job, keep it up!

 

[Hikaru-chan]

I really love the color blue on you.

 

[user3]

You must be kidding! That looks great on you!!

 

[MissAlly]

Oh my,this looks wonderful on you.

 

[Virgo]

That looks great! You don't even look sick. Actually, no one ever looks sick around here when they say they are.

 

[Bexx]

Those colors really make your eyes pop. They look great! Very pretty and well done! REALLY SUITS YOU!

 

[may_cup]

It looks amazing! You don't even look sick at all! That look totally works with your coloring and everything! Two things I can't pull off are blue e/s and red lipstick, and you pulled off the blue e/s look soooooooo well! *jealous*

Thank you everyone for being so nice

I am off sick due to exhaustion at work after working too many long hours and not having any holidays in 3 years. I work for a very male dominated company and am the only female manager so I have to work twice as hard as the men. I fainted after leaving a client a couple of days ago. Had blood tests yesterday and get my results back today. I am hoping its nothing other than being overworked. Doctor just advised me to take time off and put myself first and relax which is what I am trying to do.

Thanks again for being so nice. You really cheered me up. <3
