"umm miss laura, you look a bit different today..."

halfway through reading a picture book to my Grade 2s this morning, Charlie decided to share this observation with the class... i'm not sure if they appreciated the alien-looking white eyes, but the girls definitely liked the braid - by the end of the day they all had little plaited sections at the front of their hair.

so, this look is from a MakeUpByTiffanyD tutorial on youtube - Kim Kardashian's 2009 Emmy appearance

• prime prime prime... this look will crease heaps if you don't!

• using a flat brush, i put the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk (white) all over the lid, up to the eyebrow and under the lower lashline

• with a flat brush again, cover the liner with a white shadow (MAC Eye Shadow in Gesso) to dry it up because the liner will be sticky

• apply a shimmery pale blue (random loose shadow that came free with my crushcosmetics.com.au order) on the outer 'V' area on the lid, two-thirds along the upper lashline and lightly along the lower lashline

• apply a pale brown or gold along the brow just to deepen the colour, so it doesn't look quite so flat (i used MAC Eye Shadow in Nylon because i don't have any light browns yet)

• re-do the white shadow around your tear duct

• using the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, line your waterline

• black mascara and eyebrows and done!

• i used a pinky-gold lipstick, anything nude-y will work

BING! eyes open :)

it's a pretty wacky look, but it's very fresh and bright and awake-looking, and quick to do!

i'm expecting FIVE different make-up orders in the mail... someone delete my PayPal account... please...

i'll show-and-tell when they arrive! yay :D
