More Drama Please!



Who said that black eyeshadow and big lashes were just for supermodels and goth girls? It is possible to make even the darkest colours wearable by simply choosing a complimentary shape for your eyes and adding a highlight to the inner corner so the eyes don't appear too small!



When working with a solid colour, especially a dark one, you have to work to get some dimension in there. I chose the shimmery approach. The glitter makes the black look less dead and more like a star filled sky. The lashes add the cherry on top of an already dramatic look!


Just remember to have fun with it, and if it doesn't work then wash it off! Another fun way to use black is to do a gradient from black to grey to silver! So add a bit of dark mystique and glamour to that red summer dress next time you go out, and dare to wear black!
