KooKoo Bird Inspired Look

Katie Alves is having another makeup contest. The theme is "Colorful". I was trying to come up with a colorful look and looked over to see this kookoo bird stuffed animal. I did a wearable cut crease. I haven't entered the contest though because there are a lot orf awesome creative looks. Also check out her albums of looks as well. She's amazing!! :)

When Sparkles Fly - EOTD

I did this look a couple weeks ago. I think this could maybe be a look to go out clubbing or something. It's very shiny. :) I couldnt come up with a clever name for this. My friend at work said it reminded her of the clouds on a cover for He-man or She-ra.  My eyebrows are yikes. I finally found my tweezers tonight when I was cleaning house.
