Cryin’

For those kind-hearted souls who are worried about me, you don’t need to be! I’ve wanted to make a look with fake tears for a while, so I thought I’d give it a go.

They see me posin’, they hatin’…. Ah, sorry about the posing but it sort of went with the look, no?  I had some gross eyelashes that needed to be thrown away and I sort of stuck the hairs together so they looked like they were wet with tears. The tears themselves were really easy to do – the Inglot gloss is very wet looking so it was perfect, and dotting in dry pigment and messing up the lower lashine with the gloss/pigment mix helped finish the look.  I think it looks pretty realistic but I wish I’d gone a bit more dramatic with the makeup overall and done much more bronzer and a more defined nude lip.

What do you think – feeling sorry for me? :P
