I take back what I said about my appreciating and embracing single eyelids. It’s hard, living in a world surrounded by the stereotype of big is beautiful. And that, my dears, applies to boobs, and even eyes, you name it.

Now, after succumbing to the pressure, I chickened out and went for double eyelid surgery.

Jaws dropping? Here’s proof of me, making good use of my Hari Raya holidays. Recuperating from my surgery.

See the tell tale cut? Yeap, it’s permanent. Forever gonna haunt me, the girl who once bragged loudly how much she appreciates her natural born single eyelids.

Not anymore.

*Eyes grow misty, about to cry*

Ahem, doctor said not to cry, might affect the outcome of my plastic eyelids. Anyway, let’s go on to the FOTD part shall we? I name it, Muted Violet.

Why? Because I goddamn wanted the colors to be vibrant when I started off this look, but it all turned out so muted. Urgh. Don’t care lah, it’s a new discovery for me as it’s my first attempt layering eyeshadow to produce a new color.

Face
- Clinique Superfit Makeup sample in 06
- A very light touch of Signature Minerals blush in Rose (plus Photoshop brand blush to pump the color)
- Signature Minerals translucent finishing powder to set the whole thing

Eyes

- Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner (can you tell, I’m addicted, sorry Bobbi Brown)
- Prorance gold eyeshadow in P17, overall color for the entire lid
- Pure Luxe eyeshadow in Carousel blended over the gold, hence the muted gold tone
- MAD Minerals in Purple Iris for the outer contour. A note about this eyeshadow is that it doesn’t show easily on the lid. And the color payoff is not up to my expectations but what the heck, slap it on several layers and the color will show. Patience is virtue. :)
- Pure Luxe Shimmies in Kiss of Moonlight to highlight browbone.
- Kate mascara base (it rocked!)
- Clinique Lash Power Mascara
- False eyelashes from China. They’re so fine, they just blend in to my sparse eyelashes. No amount of surgery can pay me back the ones I’m not born with. Le sigh.

Lips
I go nude because I love kissing my bf. I go nude because I love kissing my bf. I go nude because I love kissing my bf. On impulse.

So there you have it. My revelation of my low profile surgery and a FOTD. Do you like it? I hope monolid girls won’t throw rocks at me for betraying them.

Oh btw, when you read blogs, do you TAKE NOTE OF THE TAGS? I just found out, they’re very informative. ;)

Good night.
