Two summers ago I sported the look on the left because I had NKOTB's Summertime song stuck in my head. Check out the original FOTD post: Summertime

This time around I decided to go for the softer summertime look. Mainly because I don't have much time to go bold and bright. I have to wake up at 5:30AM, but most of the time I wake up at 6:30AM and I have to get to work at 7AM. I haven't made to work on time all summer, haha. So to try and do a fancy eye is nearly impossible. I prime, highlight, light color all over lid and add a slighly darker color to my crease. And this is what I came up with.

Man, I feel like the time that I didn't work and was staying at home taking care of baby E for the last half of 2009 has gotten me rusty on my makeup skills.

I didn't really go anywhere and didn't really wear makeup at all during the last half of 2009 and I think the makeup skills I did have went away. I guess practice makes perfect. Gotta start practicing again.

Anyways, I used MAC Espresso eyeshadow as an eyeliner to give it a softer look rather than being a harsh line with my usual fluidline. Works great!

P.S. I miss my long hair... I can't wait for it to grow out again. Maybe I'll even donate some more to the Locks of Love.
