Mad Hatter - First Attempt

This morning at work we were all bored and decided to model some of the costume hats we're selling for Halloween. I LOOOOVE miniature top hats and instantly fell in love with the one I picked, so much so that I bought it the moment I got off! And because I don't have anything better to do on a Saturday night, I decided to put it on and mess around with some of the new make-up I got Thursday. The end result wasn't perfect, but it was pretty cool. Definitely not for everyday, but awesome for something like Halloween or a night out!

Eyes:

e.l.f. black creme eye liner

black, purple, and white shadows from Icing palette

Maybelline Great Lash mascara

Face:

L'Oreal True Match pressed foundation in Classic Ivory

e.l.f. under eye concealer and highlighter

Lips:

concealer

clear gloss

purple shadow from Icing palette

If I'd been thinking, I would have smudged the creme eyeliner with a finger in order to blend it better. Oh, well.  I'll file it away and remember to do it next time! I'd also like to try this same look using false eyelashes and a proper purple lippie instead of one I made myself. : \ I think it would work a lot better.

For something I just decided to do on a whim to quell my boredom, I think it came out pretty well. I'm looking forward to messing with it again and making it look even better!

And, last but not least, a picture of my dog, Sampson, modeling my hat against his will. :D

Seriously. One of these days, he's going to kill me in my sleep. <3
