Aqua Blue Eyes Motd + Questions For You All.

Hello!

Recently I've been wanting to incorporate more color to my makeup looks. A few days ago I felt like experimenting with a new eyeshadow palette that I bought from Wycon Cosmetics.

Also, I'd love to know about your relationship with colors? Are you more of a neutral color lover or do enjoy a pop of color? Maybe both? What kind of colors do you prefer on yourself? Are there shades that just don't work for you? Do you prefer bright lips or the eyes as the center of attention?

Oh, especially about my brows! I sometimes feel that the color is a bit off. What do you think?

Oh wow, I adore the color!! guess what I'll be doing tomorrow...you're my inspiration, now =) you did a great job blending, and I love the fact that you used mascara as a liner, I used to do that when I wanted my eyeliner and mascara to match exactly (do not ask me why I liked that look).

I also think the shape of the shadow is really flattering for your eye shape, and you did a great job with blending. As far as your brows, I don't necessarily think that the color is off, but they do look very very strong for your face, maybe they're a little bit too much? This of course could just be personal preference, I tend to like brows that are a smidge more on the natural side, but to each her own!

As far as my relationship with color, I love it! I'm not into neutrals or pops of color, I want a full on color bomb on my eyeballs. I want as many shades as humanly possible on my eyes out to my temples and brighter than the sun. As far as colors I adore vs. ones that don't work...I LOVE purple. It's my absolute favorite color, and it really makes my eyes pop, so I include it in almost every look I do. As far as shades that I don't like on myself...there are very, very few. I don't like bright yellows, I think they make me look sick, and I don't like barbie pink lipsticks for the same reason. I also tend not to do pink makeup on the whole because I just don't like the color, so there's that.

I prefer eyeshadow far over lipstick, though I do still love lipstick, and a colorful lipstick is my lazy go-to, for example when I have work and no time in the morning because of my dogs or something.

Thank you Hannah! Haha I actually like that look of matched liner and mascara. Well not on myself but on some people :D Yes, my brows sometimes like to take over my face :D

I love your "full on color bomb" -comment, I mean who doesn't want their eyes to catch all of the attention?;) Thanks for your response x

I think same color mascara/liner works on some people, but sadly I am not one of them! haha

But yeah, I do love the all color, all the time type of look =)
