Metallic eyes

Gone are the days where runway shows are dominated by smoky eyes. Every season, new looks are experimented and created like these dramatic metallic eyes from Fendi's Spring 2012 fashion show. 
Photos from style.com

Here's my attempt to dupe these drama-mama eyes. I was clueless where to get those thin foils which flake easily so I went for my kitchen foil and tore them into small pieces. Ha! Who might guess that the trusty kitchen foil would come in handy here? 
The eyes were emphasized by a thick black winged liner and the metallic foils placed on the eyelids, past the brow bones and covering the brows. Since the eyes are already getting enough attention, the rest of the face are kept clean. 
Hee I told Ash I was going to create this big hair too and I did! But I must have done a terrible job that the husband thought I looked like an obaasan (aka Japanese grandmother) with hip looking eyes. And he was probably right! So I settled with the poufy crown and sides pinned back and conveniently left the hair out in all the photos. lol.
Hope you guys are liking this look!
