Sephora LOTD - Mad (As A Hatter) With Colours

July 30, 2011 8:38 pm · 56 Views · Posted by Regis

The past week was actually my last week with Sephora as a temp staff, and that kind of tipped me into a crazy, adrenaline-filled mode, so unknowingly, my LOTDs were full of mad fun colours!

They're a bit reminiscent of the makeup Johnny Depp had on as the Mad Hatter in the film "Alice In Wonderland"...

... but maybe not quite as crazy, ha ha!

Here's the first LOTD:

Close-up of the eyes:

I went with a peach shade all over the lids, pass the crease and then concentrating a pink shade on the lid area nearer to the lash line. For the lower lash line, I used the pink shade again but this time adding a bit of purple. A blue-purple eyeliner and lots of mascara completed the Mad Hatter inspired look.

I had on a pure pink blush that day, which is a rarity for me since I favour peaches and corals more. Then, I played around with Too Faced Mood Swings lip gloss, which gave me a true barbie pink lip!

For the second LOTD, I was still in the whimsical mood, so I drew inspiration from paddle pops and this video by Michelle Phan:

And this is my version:

Close-up of the eyes:

Ha ha, I really enjoyed doing this look! It makes me so happy when I was applying these bright colours~ A customer, this young caucasian teenager, came over to ask me a question and kept staring at my eyes. Then as she was about to leave, she complimented me on the colours.

Anyway, it's a pastel yellow, pink and blue on the upper lids while I did yellow, pink and purple on the lower lash line. I used the blue-purple eyeliner once again, and applied mascara generously.

You can hardly see my coral-pink blush here, cos the lighting washes it out, but you can still see the colourful eyes and very pink lips!

I definitely had lots of fun doing these two looks, and they abated my fears of using bright colours on our eyes. Who says asian monolidders can't play with colours? Ha ha ha, hope you enjoyed this LOTD post and thanks for looking!
