My obsession with leopard print is well documented. I have countless of leopard print RTW clothes, undies, shoes, wellies, a coat, umbrella and other accessories. I've also sewn up a fair few things using leopard print fabric and will probably continue to do so until I'm too old to carry it off. I went a step further this New Year's Eve by applying leopard print eye make-up, but I did have the good sense not to coordinate my outfit! I think my boyfriend was a little worried when I eagerly proclaimed that it could totally work as an everyday or even wedding-day look. And, no, I wasn't even joking!
Don't worry, I haven't completely lost the plot. I know this post has nothing to do with stitching. But I also know that a good number of you have a soft spot for leopard print too. So I figured I'd share the love by linking to the easy peasy YouTube tutorial I used. You know...in case you want to look this 'cool' too ;o)
So, what do you think to leopard print eye make-up? A step too far or a bit of fun?
I'm not sure this look is for me heehee but I'm impressed by your efforts... and your blouse. It's rather pretty!
ReplyDeleteHehe, you're so polite Amy! The blouse is actually a dress from Urban Outfitters...one of my most favourites!
DeleteI think the rest of your hair & make-up, as well as your top are so elegant looking that you can get away with this little splash of ironic fun!
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thanks Nessa!
DeleteRAWR!!! What fun! I love playing around with makeup!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun while it lasted and I did feel pretty cool ;o)
DeleteHoly smoke!! This looks fantastic! I agree that it's not for everybody, but I love it. You did a brilliant job with it, and no one is ever too old for leopard print. ;)
ReplyDeleteLeopard print isn't my thing, but I love fab eye make up, so I think you look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Johanna...though I'm not sure we can be friends if you don't like leopard print. Haha! Only joking ;o)
DeleteSeconding Lynne, there is no such thing as too old for leopard print!!
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear, as I can't imagine ever not liking it ;o)
DeleteA girl can't have enough leopard. Ever.
ReplyDeleteI like it!
I think it detracts from your beauty.
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind Denise - thank you!
DeleteThat's so fun!
ReplyDeleteGive it a go ;o)
DeleteI want to be YOU please!
ReplyDeleteOk, but only if I can be you please Karen!
DeleteThat is fantastic! I love it, and quite honestly your makeup look in general!
ReplyDeleteThanks lady, that's really kind of you!
DeleteThis isn't for me but you totally rock it! Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire!
DeleteI am all for more leopard print. How fun! I long ago gave up wearing almost any eye makeup but mascara since it feels pointless with eyeglasses and sometimes a little winged liner, but I love when people try bold eye makeup!
ReplyDeleteAnd pshaw, I hope you're still wearing leopard print when you're a little old lady! What better time to have a little fun. I know I certainly plan to. ;)
High five fellow leopard print lover! You know, I'm very 'boring' when it comes to eye makeup usually. It's just eyeliner and nothing else, so I'm glad I experimented for NYE a little ;o)
DeleteI love that you are my long distance leopard twin! Your eye makeup is perfect, looks professional!
ReplyDeleteI swear we were separated at birth!
DeleteI think it is fun - life is too short to be serious all the time. Me, I'm hopeless with makeup and never really bother, when I do wear it, I forget and then touch it by mistake and ruin it!
ReplyDeleteYes, that's exactly why I thought I'd have a go for NYE. Normally I just don't bother, but I'm glad I did and that you like it!
Deleteeek! you've taken rock chick to the next level! I love this soooo much :) xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha, you're so funny lady! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, I hope I don't disappoint you when I go back to my floral love ;o)
DeleteHehe, this is totally cute!! I love the look on you! Not sure I could pull it off, but maybe I'll be a leopard for Halloween this year...
ReplyDeleteheehee!!! Love it. I just bought a leopard print bikini for an upcoming beach holiday - my first foray into the world of animal print, and I adore it! Go the leopard print!
ReplyDeleteI love your leopard print makes and the make up. Having seen these I'm convinced I need more leopard print in my life!
