Before I washed off my makeup for the night, I thought I'd give another shot at my makeup enemy a.k.a. red eyeshadow, lol. Knowing I wasn't wearing this out, I didnt' hold back and here are the results: Me + red still = fail, but I haven't given up!

Sry for the squinty, sleepy eyes.

Max Factor Golddigger lipgloss

I've had this loose eyeshadow from NYX in Penny for years and loved the shimmery, rich color, but never knew how to use it. Well it appears I still don't know how to make it work for me.

Everything with this look turned into one big fail. I was going for a simple but still festive and shimmery look. This red however, was just too overpowering and made me look kinda sickly in person. My eyes were also irritated for some reason and wouldn't stop watering which led to my falsies not staying on because the glue couldn't dry. Ugh, it was such a mess every time I blinked the lashes came off!

The next time I use this color, I think I'll add some dark brown or even black to the outer corners to give it more depth and maybe some gold to the inner corner to make the red less overpowering. What do you guys think? I love the way this color looks in the jar and really want to put it to good use. Should I keep trying with this or is it time to just move on?
