Boston - Augustana

"I think I need a sunrise. I'm tired of the sunset."

Hey everyone! I'm adoring my new palette. I had a bit of time yesterday to try out some new colors before I had to leave the house. I snapped some quick pictures and I'm here to show you how it turned out!

The other night I saw a gorgeous sunset with unique colors. It was the inspiration behind this look. (So cliche, I know. It really was beautiful, though.)

(I took a picture in different lighting. This one came out more purple. The other pictures are more true to what it really looked like.)

I love how it turned out. I kept looking in the mirror at my eyes. Absolutely perfect for those of you who have brown eyes, too. It also was my first time tight-lining my upper water line. I had never tried it before on my upper line. (If you're wondering what this is and its technique, check out the many tutorial videos on Youtube!) I wear contacts - so I try to stay away from doing this. I am obsessed with the way it turned out. I'm going to be doing this much more often. It really did hurt my eyes, unfortunately. I'll just have to keep eye-drops on hand. Practice makes perfect.

I used MAC's fluidline in blacktrack. 

If you don't want to spend that amount of money, try out Maybelline's Lasting Drama by EyeStudio. I tried it for the first time during Amanda's makeover at the Hanson show. I was really impressed with it and how much it reminded me of MAC's fluidline. I went to Walmart and bought some yesterday for when I run out of fluidline. 

Hope you're all having a great week. I'm off to watch football with my family.

Also, hope you're all getting excited for February!! Tons and tons of new content in store for Groupie Glam!
