Fierce Friday- Linerly Lustrious (Enhance Your Colors)
4:15 PMHey guys!
Today's Fierce Friday is all bout embracing your eyecolor!
You all know that certain colors enhance other colors.
Black, white and red look beautiful together.
Red and pink, not so much.
But it's not just about what looks good, it's about what makes something look better.
Since we're talking about eyes,
what's better then eyeliner to do all the enhancing?
Since all of you may not know what color brings out your eyes,
I've included this link that tells you: http://www.wikihow.com/Bring-out-the-Color-in-Your-Eyes (This one is quick, and to the point. No wish-washyness here)
Let's get started!
I have light, amber brown eyes- so purple and blue are good for me,
But my first FF, I used a plumy color for liner,
So I'm going to be more adventurous and go for a bright aqua blue color!
Step One)
I'm going to start with the liner.
Now, I do not own a pencil/liquid liner in this color,
so I am going to wet my eyeliner brush from ELF ($1!) and dip it into my aqua eyeshadow from Sally Hanson (Aquamartina) and apply it straight to my eyes. I started by winging it out at the ends, and lightly, and carefully applying it to my lower lash line, and very, I mean very carefully lining my water line. You can carefully pat some of the dry eyeshadow to your lines to set it, but this is not necessary- and can be messy.
Step 1/2)
I then pat on some champagne colored eyeshadow onto my lid. This step is optional- especially if
the colored liner you chose is bold, and you don't feel like going bolder. (However, I think the color I used contrasts with the blue, and works without being overwhelming)
Step Two)
Apply a thick layer of your favorite mascara. (Black. Playing with colors is fun, but layering too many is overwhelming. If you have colored liner, a bit of neutral shadow, and a colored mascara. You'll look like a clown. I'll do a FF with colored mascara sometime soon)
And you're done! This look again is simple.
This is my whole motto! Less really is more when it comes to makeup. You can take less than three, three Steps and create a bold, but school appropriate look!

Weekly Review:
Last week I told you that starting then, I was going to rave about a product, and then the following week review it.
As some of you may recall, last week I raved about Claire's black eyeliner!
This thing is simply ah-mazing.
For less than $3, it's a god send.
It's creamy (Which means that it glides onto your eyes easily, and doesn't tug, which not only hurts, but the skin around your eyes is extremely thin, so you need to be gentile)
Very, veeeerrry pigmented. When they say black, they don't mean a dark grey. They mean black.
It also comes with a little eraser looking thing on the opposite end, but what it really is is a "smuder" so you can make your eyeliner less "sharp" and harsh.
I looove this product! And expesially for it's price, it's so worth it!
5/5 all the way!
I really enjoyed making this post for you,
And hope it inspired you!
xx,
Sydney
