The promo that inspired the look:
I know that my camera white balances very warm/bronze in DIRECT-direct sunlight (as in, oh-g0d-my-eyes-are-burning sunlight), and I wanted that bronzed look to match the promo - so I took the finished photos in this lighting!Here's my mum's eye to start with. I did mine first, and hers about two hours later, so it was dark by the time we finished hers! I had to bump the ISO to 400 in order to get a clear image, so please excuse the noise! I really loved how her eye looked very purple from one side, and very gold from the other!



For the record, she'd never wear something like this out of the house - nor would I force her to! I know she isn't the optimal age for this look, but she's the only double lid I have easy access to, so dammit, I will take advantage of that fact! :PAnd, finally, here's my eye:



Hope you enjoyed the post! I had SO much fun doing a similar look on a monolid and a double lid - it was definitely fun making tiny alterations for the different lid types!

can i say i LOVE the colours?? never would've thought of purple and gold/bronze together.
This is a gorgeous eye look & I love the way you made it work for your monolids. =)
Sometimes I think that us monolids got cheated from enjoying eye makeup fun.
Suzie: I know! They're totally gorgeous, right?
Catherine: thanks!
Meream: I know!! *sympathy hugs* Everyone else can practice on themselves, but I have to recruit people x.x
