I Return, with Dark Eyes!

I know, I know. And I'm sorry. But I'm back!
Prom is coming up, and I am swamped with clients. Each gorgeous girl has her own taste, and I must cater to everyone. But for those who may not have someone doing your makeup, I will begin posing ideas now.

This also fits into the "ridiculous smoky eyes" category of spring trends in 2012.

Face!!
 Closeups!
Eyes closed

Eye open

Now I forgot what I was dealing with when I departed on this journey of darkness... Carbon eyeshadow from MAC is a deep matte black, and has an odd chalky texture that, when used carelessly, will cause FALLOUT!! NOOO!!! HISS!
So be very cautious of how you use black or dark eyeshadows. Perhaps do all of your eye makeup, clean up your face where eyeshadow may have fallen down, THEN do your face makeup. Silly me!

Products Used

Face:
-Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + Foundation #35
-Cover FX Full Coverage Cream Foundation #M40 (under eyes)

-Inglot eyeshadow #493 (lavender colour with some sparkle, blended liberally above the crease and lower lashline)
