Oh make me over

A while ago at Make Up/Over Monday, we decided that we’d set ourselves the challenge of looking different. What this translated to was that Rachel who normally doesn’t wear much makeup at all got the full on loads of bright eyeshadow ala me, and since I normally do my makeup very loose and smudgey, Amy applied mine neat and straight out of Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin, in the style of “Temptress”, modeled on Barbara Streisand. It was a learning experience for everyone involved!

The results and revelations after the jump.

Here’s me after Amy was done:


And here’s Rachel:

Some revelations:
1. Making up other people is a lot harder than doing it to yourself because you are more scared of jabbing others in the eye than you are of hurting yourself.
2. Bright coloured eyeshadow looks really good on Rachel and she needs to buy herself some.
3. Liquid eyeliner looks great on me, but I still don’t have a steady-enough hand to apply it.
4. For making different-coloured lipgloss, apply clear gloss and then put eyeshadow over the top of it.
