Grease Paint Stick

Passed on the lippies for now, figure I'll be able to pick them up in the CC bin later and passed on Gilt By Association it was nice but I felt I had something similar.

Ugh tomorrow going to uni I'll have to stop by MAC and check out the new stuff. Could be dangerous, especially as I've got a big assignment due so I'm stressed, but I think I'll do a CP once I've tested them all out myself. Swatches are great, but I'm a very hands on person haha!
Now, this is going to sound a bit stupid, but I wanted to know what you guys thought about these dark MES on smaller eyes. Whilst I'd be wearing them out for something more exciting I get the feeling that using them might make me look a bit...strangely eye-proportioned and I've noticed that in a few FOTDs. I love them and want to embrace them and the glitter and the glam...but I don't quite know how it'll work out. I know all the tips for making smaller eyes look bigger with neutrals/pale colours, but I'm wondering if you guys have any suggestions as to what to do with these MES to counteract that effect?

I just B2M'd for Black Knight and Up the Amp! How funny
I dont think its bright, I can't wait to wear it with Young Punk!!

Me 2, I thought it looked very similar to Mink & Sable e/s put over a black base.
I just ordered from MAC Pro:
Cinderfella, Young Punk, Blue Flame
Greasepaint Stick
Midnight Media
Blackfire g/g
Lip Erase in Pale (because the Dim that is coming out with DSquared is too dark for me! ohh the irony!)
Yesterday I picked up VAE & VATM because I feared they would be sold out But the MAC in Myer here had sold out of Young Punk by 4pm yesterday!!
Im thinking should I get a backup of the greasepaint stick?? or hold out and see what the DSquared ones are like?

Ok so here's what I'd do, keep the MES to the outer v and outer lower lash line and use lighter colours on the lid, especially in the tear duct area. Think of it like this, dark colours like black are receding so they can make things look smaller and light colours amplify and make things look bigger/pushed out. If you keep most of the lid especially the inner 2/3 to something light and use the MES smoked upwards on the outer v you should get a wider/bigger eye effect.
HTH, it's hard to explain that!

Oooh don't get me started on small eyes!
I have never been able to get the light lid/dark crease thing to work on me as it makes my lids look puffy. So I wear dark colours on my lid all the time, but the secret is to take the colour up high enough that you can see it when your eyes are open, especially the outer V like Robyn said. It has the effect of bringing the eye upward and outward depending on what angle you take it at.
Check out what Asian makeup gurus do on YT, those girls rock the dark colours on small eyes!

B2M'd for Black Knight and a nude called Jubilee!
Also picked up the Volcanic Ash exfoliator and mask
Oh and Nat, I asked Kira about the sculpting duo, she said she definitely thinks it's ace and that she uses it all the time
(the one called accentuate and sculpt)

I paid $37 for shipping and I think it was First Class Mail. In the shipping options it said that First Class could take from 10-30 days so when the parcel arrived in 7 days I was super impressed
Everything was well packed too so no breakages.
I tried to take some photos just then but the lighting in here is not that great. I recommend that you visit Scrangie.com and have a look at her swatches because they are awesome!

Thanks so much for your help.
I dropped by MAC today and the SA said exactly that haha! She used Jest + Cinderfella and the Greaspaint Stick and it was a nice soft smoky eye and looked great, something I could easily amp up if I went out.

Ahhh more good advice. Thanks a bunch! I'll have to do some experimenting...maybe post a FOTD haha.
(I ended up with the 214, Cinderfella and some more lashes
