Party on! Debbiedoos B & A

G Before and After party, will proceed every other Wednesday thereafter .
Please proceed reading  this post with CAUTION.  As we know this party is a broad range of before and afters, so let's get creative with WHATEVER! Have fun enjoying as many participants as you can.  I have the greatest group of friends here.  You really are thoughtful!
I decided for my first B & A, after some requests, I would show you my eye make up tutorial.  was going to do a video, however, I am over that for awhile:) So here we go, the BEFOREwell, kinda blah for sure......but this is what I have been blessed with, so I work with it!

OK this is a serious matter here, nothing to smile about, I have some work ahead of me here, oh and obviously in need of a brow wax...going this week.....................Yabba Dabba Doo's  get to work on Debbiedoo!!!

Ok one eye has some life in it..now.....

Ok so it took this team to help, what can I say! I pay these Men well!~
Ok seriously,  All I do is take my little shadow brush and apply it generously on half my lid. I like using the darker colors, as my eyes seem to pop out more, I think that would be the case for most of us, however, some are too afraid to try it. I am sure if a make up consultant or cosmetologist is looking at this, she is cringing at my advise.  I also take my brush and lightly go underneath my eye and further out, the cat eye look, I know, all wrong, but that is the way I like it.

After I apply the cat eye underneath, I usually take a lighter color with a shimmer,color depends on what I am wearing, I then lightly brush that color underneath the lid as well....again probably not to make up standards, , but that is what I do.

As you can see this black smokey color has a sparkle to it, I love sparkle anything, I even wear sparkle lotion!

I am almost finished here...as you can see, I trash the bathroom in this process! I really need my lipstick, never leave home without it.  I use the cheap crap wet and wild, I love it, stays on, does not bleed, and they have some great colors. This is what I use for the summer.  Now one thing I hear about women in their forties...we really should not use reds anymore, I would agree with that...

I love pinks, in all variations, this is my favorite one, again super cheap, go to your local drug store and check it out!

I am ready for the day! Total time from shower to make up to hair....40 minutes! Not too bad! When I had short, short hair, it was 30 minutes.  The make up process takes me about 5 minutes!

COLORS:
Lancome eye shadow color design with the new metallic black.  I know it looks dramatic when the lid is closed however it really does not look caked on when your eyes are open, and of course you do not have to cover as much of the lid, you can do a smooth thin line, which I have done that as well.
Blush: Estee Lauder Delux all over face compact you can see the color numbers in the picture above.
COVER GIRL shimmer shadows this one is #600 Sterling Blue...I also use the light pink one often, I am out of it so I do not have the # will be going to get some more today!
