Last call for sin

The post title is from my favourite song in the whole wide world - All These Things That I've Done by The Killers. J'Adore Brandon Flowers and co, though sadly, the more recent stuff doesn't quite live up to the first album 'Hot Fuss' - that was the best album ever and one you should all own in my opinion.

So, The Killers rambles aside, this is the look I've been sporting this week. Nothing special but I really like it, and despite it being another neutral look (quelle surprise), I have tried something new. Black eyeliner. Hardly groundbreaking but this is a massive leap for me. I never, ever wear black eyeliner. When I first tried it years and years ago, I thought it was too harsh for me - I have blue eyes, my skin was pale and my hair was light blonde. It got relegated to the back of my drawers never to see the light of day again. Since my hair is darker now, and I am not as ghostly pale, the brown eyeliner that I loved wasn't adding enough definition. I cracked out the black last weekend and haven't looked back since! No doubt I'll return to my beloved Chocolate Shimmer Ink before long, but until then, this is a welcome change.

Excuse the fringe - it has a mind of it's own these days! I was looking through the pictures and it looked like I had a slight ombre going on in some of the them. In 'real life' it all looks one colour, and lots lighter than it's coming across in the pictures too. I'm fancying some highlights again but I know once I start I'll end up with really light blonde hair again, which I don't want.

 

I know some girls love their eyeliner and don't feel (or look) themselves without it, but personally, I can take it or leave it. How about you?
