I tend to change my style of makeup depending on how I'm feeling. People at uni have seen me at my palest, with little to no makeup, as well as covered in fake tan with the full works going on on my face. At the moment I'm going through a full coverage moment, where I want all of the makeup, on all of my face, at all times.
There are certain techniques which I abandoned many years ago as I deemed them not suitable for my face and thought they didn't suit me. One of these techniques is applying eyeshadow and mascara to my lower lash line. I always thought it made my eyes look droopy and older, as well as making my already small eyes even smaller. However, after trying it again today - for the first time in many years - I have discovered that is simply not the case.
I did this intense brown eye with a spotlight of shimmer in the middle and felt that some mascara and eyeshadow was needed on my lower lash line to balance out the heaviness on my lid. I loved how it look, which surprised me as I thought I would end up ruining my makeup and having to start again.
The idea is to try something new. If you have a bit of time to yourself experiment with your makeup and try different techniques and colours. There is a plethora of videos and tutorials on the internet with a billion different ways of applying makeup - go watch some and see what you can come up with!
