Cat Eye + Hooded Eyes = :D

Hooded eyes are beautiful, but they present a serious challenge when trying to achieve any standard eyeshadow look. I have one partially hooded eye and one completely hooded eye, so I have to constantly adjust looks that I see out in the world to my eyeballs. It's not easy, but it is certainly fun.

I'm also not a pink lipstick/lipgloss wearer, but I tried a number of lipsticks with this eyeshadow look and none of them were working--they all either overpowered my face or just kind of sat there blandly. I'm still not completely in love with light pink lipstick/lip gloss, but I think it works here.

I really enjoy how makeup can subtly reshape (or, really, give the illusion of reshaping) facial features. Pulling the eyeshadow up and away in a swooping cat eye shape gives the illusion of wider, more open eyeballs. I'm into it.
