Colourful eyes

In my crazy-fashion-things-to-do list, right after "wear glittler ankle boots" - crossed pretty soon due to financial reasons - was... "wear colourful eyeshadows"! It all started when I saw Versace Spring 2010 collection. I was immediattely drawn to that purple smokey eyes. Look how beautiful they were!  I loved them!


And Scarlett Johansson loved them too!


Afterwards, two brazilian designers brought YELLOW eyes to Sao Paulo Fashion Week runway! And... WOW! How cool was it?

Isabela Capeto and Patachou

My reaction? "I MUST run to the closest MAC store and buy those eyeshadows". Then the rational part of my brain (it's a veeeery tiny part, you should know) shouted at me: "DUDE! Take it easy!". I understood the message right away: I don't have to pay MAC prices on a make-up that I will only wear a couple of times. Lilac is not the new black (btw, nothing is nor will ever be the new black, people!). I'll probably just get sick of it in a couple of weeks and move on. Soooooo... I ran to the closest SUPERDRUG and got this cool little set for 3,49 pounds! And it works perfectly fine! 


My eyes are exactly like the ones the model from Isabela Capeto's cast has: you can't really see any eyeshadow when I have my eyes open. So I did just like the make up artist there and applied some colour under the eyelids (bad english here? Sorry, I don't know how to explain it! But I think you got it!). It sure looks a bit crazy, but I am having fun!

puxa, lola, vou falar a verdade. eu nao sou muito dada a maquiagem, entao, acho que nao sei falar muito bem se é de boa qualidade ou nao. para mim - que tenho dois lápis e dois batons da mac e nada mais - está ótimo. eu nem passo primer e a cor dura! tô adorando (tanto é que comprei a paleta de cores mais sóbrias hahaha)! beijao.
