Happy St. Patrick's Day! Also known as the only day of the year that I ever wear green.

I attempted to a a halo/spotlight eye with Jade on the inner and outer corner and Mildew in the center of the lid. I love the way halo/spotlight shadow placement looks on my eyes but I'm still trying to get the hang of it so criticism and advice is greatly appreciated!

Charlotte, everyone tells me that! I understand that in the future it'll be a good thing but when you're already young and look younger it's kind of annoying, lol. Thank you!

Hi Alexis, green looks great on you.I just wanted to give you a bit of info, we've been asking ladies to please post your Motd on your profiles so that they can be uploaded to the picture feed versus the talk feeds only if it's just a picture with no type of information that could establish a conversation. For example what we would like to see if posting a thread with picture would be a question or the reason as to why you would post this look " Hi all I did this look for st Patrick's day what are your thoughts on my makeup I achieved with these product's" then list product's, hope you understand since the out pour of motd threads have been in great amounts lately we need them to have a purpose Versus passing pretty tickets of picture on a talk feed. Thanks ;)

Oh, I'm sorry, Alma! I just assumed that all criticism was welcomed when you posted a MOTD without having to directly say that you were looking for it.

No biggie Alexis, ya I agree but most don't seem to want it if it's not asked lately lol so we want to prevent the fits that's been going on and try to encourage more info to threads. ;) Thanks for understanding doll.

Thank so much and I truly like green on you that should be a color you wear often.  :)

You look pretty as always - and green us actually a good color on you so no need to only wear it on St. Patty's day ;)

I was wondering if you ever wear eyeliner? You have such pretty eyes I think it would be gorgeous if you played them up a bit more :)

You're welcome, and thank you! I love the shade Jade in the Lorac Pro 2 (this was actually my first time using it) so I'll definitely have to play around with it some more (:

Sabrina, I don't really wear eyeliner because my eyes are very hooded. I feel like the liner just takes up my entire lid and then you can't see any of the eyeshadows. But thank you! (:

Ahh yes I see! have you tried tightlining? After I read a editorial here on BL about it I'm so hooked! And I think that would be the perfect way to line for you :)

Sabrina, that's what I usually do! I love it! (:

Looking great Alexis! Just so happens I used Jade from the Lorac Pro 2 this morning too :) Also...you do look great in green. Happy St Patrick's Day.

Sabrina, it makes such a big difference!

Monica, thank you!

Erin, a halo/spotlight eye is when you have a dark color in the inner and outer corner and through the crease and then a lighter color in the center of the lid (:

Thank you, Jacqueline! (:
