I don’t know about you guys, but I’m tired of “pop of color” looks. I’m tired of color only being allowed to peep through at the lash line or maybe at the center of the lid. I like my makeup big, and I like it bright. What’s the point of having greens, yellows, blues and so on if I only use them timidly?

Today I decided to use L’oreal’s Color Riche Eyeshadow Quad in Blue Haute Couture, but I didn’t want to use neutrals and banish the blue to my bottom lash line. I wanted to use all the blues all over. So that’s what I did. If you’re intrigued, want to learn how to do this makeup, or just want to see if it was a total fail, click to keep reading.

Switching from using my fingers and sponges to using brushes was the best choice I ever made for my makeup routine. Even though I will occasionally use fingers, a beauty blender, or different brushes (depending on the product), I use these brushes pretty much every single day. My apologies for them being slightly dirty. I did just use them this morning.
