And this was the finished look:
Ta da!
It looked a little more dramatic on me than on this lady (one of the real models) since my eyelid area is so much bigger. Check it out!

A few observations: It was so much fun to be a puppet of sorts—usually when I sit in a hair or makeup chair, there's discussion about what I want or what I think works for me. But for this I was putty in their hands, and it gave me a chance to try something I'd ever ever think to do on my own, a faux bob with a severely slick front. I was surprised that I kinda liked it! And the eye makeup was practically made for my green eyes. I really lucked out! I even wore the look out later for cocktails with a bunch of other beauty bloggers, and it was a hit.
What do you think of my final look, ladies? Kinda fun to see a familiar face in our backstage coverage for once? Just want to tell me to stop talking so much when I'm getting my makeup one 'cause it ruins the pictures (sorry Kelly!). Discuss below!
