More begging (for advice)

I know there are at least two of you on my flist who are very competant with make-up. I'm going for more of an evening thing. Have I frakked this up?

You have very deep set eyes like me. I've learned to keep the darker color out towards the outer edges of my eyes. I start about half way and go out and up a bit. I find also that if I layer a lighter second color in the crease and pull that all the way out it helps too and then to top it off I usually use something very light, like white to highlight the brow area and to keep my eyes from sinking too far into the back of my head. For the lid part on the inside of my eyes, near my nose I use a lighter color. I tend to gravitate towards frosts too, but that's because I like glittery things. I don't use all frosts for my eyes, but do use both frost and mattes. Overall your makeup looks very nice. And if you are going to someplace rather dark or a place that has lots of theatre type lighting you could even go darker and more dramatic. It might appear harsh to you in regular light but you are putting makeup on for a darkened room which means you need to accent even more.
As for your lipstick. Go wine or deep red because with the color of your skin and those great kissable lips I think that would be a great evening color for you.

It's a wedding reception, so definitely will be dark!

I'm writing these notes down to see if I can do a better job tomorrow.

I kind of wish I had stopped to get a red gloss. That one is sheer copper and I have hot pink and coral as other choices.
