Hi Christine, love your look in this FOTD. The eyes are gorgeous. Just wondering though, what's the rest of the makeup for the face? The blush looks great on you! =)

I have a huge purple L'Oreal pencil that I bought a few months ago to do it, but haven't actually done it yet… maybe tomorrow! Purple smoky eye=perfect for the pumpkin patch with a toddler, right? 😀

Christine, I love this look! The green really makes your eyes pop. I bet a purple smokey eye would look really gorgeous with your eye color.

Quinn- Exactly! Instead, I wear my cool eye shadow at home with him and our toddler. :D

@Little Shut-In- I have problems with that too. If I try to stay just *barely* in the waterline, think just inside of the lashes, than I have the best staying power. And forget getting it to stay in the tear duct area, that sometimes is gone before I can even take pics so I almost never bother. I know that some people will go over their liner a second time about 5 min later (I've done this, sometimes it helps, sometimes not) and some have recommended going over it with an eye shadow. I think that's pretty hard to avoid fall out. So, I just line barely inside of the lashes now and hope for the best! The MUFE works ok in that location for me, but the Elizabeth Arden Smoky eyes is my favorite because it really does stay better for me. Avoid MAC liners there, they are gone super fast!

This is absolutely gorgeous and the color and shimmer of the Too Faced shadow make your beautiful brown eyes pop!

PS: I have the same issue with my hubby sometimes; he'll come home and I'll have on a full face of makeup and he'll be like "where do you think we're going tonight?" Lol.

How do you do this beautiful dark inner eye liner and get it to stay? I've tried primer, powder, everything I can think of and it always blinks away within minutes and irritates my eyes, no matter what brand (usually MUFE Aqua Eyes, which has great lasting power in general)
