I did this look for the first time last year, some time. Then, I upgraded my video camera, and decided that I wanted to redo it. However, I made the tiniest little mistake with the crease shape on one eye, and I decided that the first video was good enough. Lol. So I know the video is kind of old to be writing a blog about it, but that doesn't matter... right?

Swatches of the eye products:
This look is literally so beautiful, I don't even want to take it off. The blue, even though it's matte, looks as though it's behaving as a satin or a frost, and there's so much dimension to it. Throughout the entire length of the blue crease, the color looks as though I spent forever blending 4 different shades of blue, even though it's just one blue and a silver. It looks as if the blue glowing upwards through the cracks of stone. The glowing finish of the frosted lid color also looks so gorgeous, and brings such a stunning luminosity to my eyes, It reminds me of the reflection of the spotless ballroom floor of a princess fairytale, or the sheen a a beautiful satin dress, or the soft glow of morning light filtering through a glass window… I could probably look as this all day and not get tired of it. It makes me think of tribal designs, and makes me think of Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the Disney one, and how exotic and ethereal their lives were…
I don't know how this look turned out so beautiful, but I remember the first time I did it, I didn't want to take it off either. I'm not sure if it's the shape of my eye, or if the blue eyeshadow just looks this beautiful, or if it's a combination of the liner that I used under it with the shadow on top, or a combo of all three, but it's just so… spectacular. I don't know if I totally sound conceited, since I am the one who created it, but it just turned out so pretty… And I didn't even notice how much I loved it until hours later both times. In the video, it's so clear how much I did not notice how interesting it looked. This time, I just decided to write about it. It looks amazing with my brown eyes, too. A clear ocean, stones and stone structures, and an otherworldly luminescence…
And being as I am, and being a crappy photographer, as well as videographer, I just feel like I couldn't capture the essence of this beautiful look. I wish that I had a photographer friend who could just take over and take pictures for me, and be able to capture it's beauty. Unfortunately, I don't. It's two in the morning right now, and I am seriously reluctant to go and wash my face right now. Which is silly, because it's not like I can't even do this look again. But that is the one thing that sucks about loving makeup and sucking at taking pictures: you have to wash off the art that you create and lose it forever. Although, at the same time, this look isn't so complicated that, again, I can't just recreate it whenever I want. However, generally speaking, you have to wash it off, or someone else has to wash it off. It sucks. I sound so formal…. I don't think I like it that much. Maybe I don't sound formal to some people, but reading this… it's so impersonal.
Goodnight, Los Angeles….! Or, you know, wherever
