Inaugural Face of the Day post

Wow, who thought taking color-accurate, well-lit, flattering pictures of yourself would be HARD ::being sarcastic cuz holy crap it's friggin ridiculously difficult and i have a newfound respect for all those beauty bloggers out there who are capable of taking all those gorgeous pics i'm always drooling over::::

So here's my first attempt at snapping some face of the day shots. Understand that I suck at photography and am technologically challenged and therefore have NO earthly clue how to photoshop these into some semblance of realistic depiction of the colors I'm wearing....I got lots to learn, people!

So anyway, this look was inspired  this gorgeous pink and purple look posted by The Crow and the Powderpuff (one of my favorite makeup artist/bloggers). I don't have the products that she used, so I substituted my own stuff (all drugstore makeup, of course) and I toned the eyeshadow down for a more daytime appropriate look.
