One Shadow, One Day

Haiyaaa....

Been gone for...3 months ?!?

Terribly sorry. It's not that I lost my passion in makeups, it's just that it's so lazy to write sometimes...(well lately most of the times...) and sometimes I woke up so late that I didn't have a proper look to feature here. Well at least looks that I don't think interesting enough to be featured. Or, the shots' quality is too bad that I lost my mood all the sudden.

Anyway...

So 2 weeks ago while staying at my bro's home, I watched "Julie and Julia". Movie about a modern day female, Julie Powell, who was so desperate of finding one thing she's good at, or she's passionate about. She loves cooking, and she is a fan of Julia Child, a chef who lived decades before her time. So one day Julie decided to make a personal challenge : she will cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's cookbook in 365 days (that's average 1-2 recipes per day). Mind you, those are French cuisine recipes. Julie called this The Julie/Julia Project, and she wrote a blog about it. You can read more here.

And that gave the idea yesterday. Considering the numbers of eyeshadows I have (26 or more?), I could imitate the same idea, presenting one look per day that is themed on one of the eyeshadows I have. Perhaps a day of smokey blue eyes, or golden green on another day, and so on. Interesting isn't it? :)

So I decided to start today. But alas, I got too slow doing the work, and I applied too much when I should do layers to achieve nice smooth layers of colors. Instead, I got a bit cracky layers that I don't think decent enough to be featured. And I was running late, so I didn't have enough time to apply concealer. Well, enough said, the look today was not good enough. So I decided to start : Tomorrow.

I promise I will try to do my best to feature One Look per day. With 26 or something eyeshadows, I could have almost one month full of different colors everyday. Well some of them are in the same color family so perhaps would not differ much...and I might use 2 or 3 colors at the same time. But one color would be the primary color and stand out among the others.

Wish me luck :)
