Stripes!
I'm always trying new things with my eye shadow, and eye liner so I thought "why not stripes?"
I know this isn't the type of thing for everyone, and most likely wouldn't be considered wearable (though I wore this until it began to fade.)
Products used
Wet n Wild Eyeliners in Bronze & Cool Green
If you're planning on giving something like this a try, I'd highly recommend using a primer underneath as well as long wear or waterproof eyeliners!
Have you done anything unique with your eye shadow or liner recently?

No mascara? That's right!
I like to take a break from wearing mascara for a few days here & there. I've been wearing eye makeup a lot less lately because I've had eye issues, but it's also good to give your lashes a mascara-free vacation! :-p
So instead, I just curled my lashes.
Do you ever go mascara-less? --PS Hope you're liking the new blog design. :) Sorry I've been MIA lately!

Apply as many coats of mascara as it takes. (For me it was about 3.)
I also did a small wing under the eye. This is optional, but it's a great way to make your lashes look thicker, and heavier by creating a shadow.

It was difficult recreating this look because it appeared different in various lighting. Some photos it looked dark gray almost black, and in others it looked like a frosty medium silver.
Obviously this doesn't look the same on me because my eye color, and eye shape is different than hers, but I think you get the gist.
