Eyeshadow Porn

Excuse the odd title, but I just had to share this with you! I've been browsing for some daring, out-of-the-box eye makeup looks to try. None of these are for wallflowers. If you're stuck in a rut, check out these pictures for some inspiration.

While this may only be acceptable at a rave, you really have to admire the artistic use of color. I especially love the turquoise shadow lining the lower lashline.

Lordy, that's blue! I love how it fades from neon aqua to a deep and mysterious indigo. I spy blue mascara on the lower lashes!

The shimmery fuschia transitions to a muted teal, which is ultra-fresh. Only the waterline is lined with black eyeliner, then complimented with some bright navy shadow. I think this look is insanely cool, but not for the faint of heart.


The canary yellow is reminiscent of Beyonce's look in the music video for "Telephone"! I like how the shadow is extended to meet the shape of the liner, but I think black liquid liner would look sharper than the kohl that was used in this photo.

Red eyeshadow is officially on my wishlist. I like the nontraditional hot pink all-the-way-around-the-eye liner, and the shimmery orange that fades into the red. Would you rock this during the daytime? I would, provided what I was wearing didn't clash.


Have you ever heard of an olive smoky eye? Me neither, but damn it looks good! I bet gals with hazel or gold eyes would look especially hot with this.


I've seen leopard print nails, but have never seen the pattern replicated with kohl liner! If you take away the spots, this look is high-glam and wearable.


Surprisingly, periwinkle shadows are super wearable. While I never wear this much, blending some shimmery pastel blues and purples gets a super sweet, girly look.


The ice blue liner really sets off the orange pigments in the red shadow. Gorgeous!


You can't go wrong with silver-to-purple gradient shadows.

  2. The Olive smokey eye is GORGEOUS! I've done one in Emerald and I've done purple, but that Olive is to die for, and her eyelashes, wow.
