 I am really sorry how blurry these pictures came out when I posted them! I am in the process of switching cameras...Hope you still enjoy. I really loved this look on my sister.

I used a makeup technique I call The "Sandwich' Effect. You put a darker color on the inner and outer part of the eye, connecting them through the crease, and use a lighter shimmery color in the center of the eye to really add depth and make them stand out. The model is my wonderful sister, Rosey :)
