Here's my makeover by Bridget. I really learned a lot about makeup application techniques from her-thanks B! I decided to throw in a before pic with no makeup so that's why I'm posting here but if you want to see what MU I used, check out the Aromaleigh makeovers section. I think I've never worn so much makeup in my life-it was loads of fun! Thanks for looking!
Here I am with no makeup before:
and after:

You sure remind me of Isabella Rossellini in these pix, Starry! I love the whole look. So gorgeous!

You look gorgeous, I love the way you did your eyes! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!

Beautiful!! The colors look fantastic on you!

Bridget's instructions are so detailed, I always learn when reading them.

pretty! you remind me of chan marshall of the band cat power in these pictures (who i think is gorgeous too)!:

gorgeous! i always think of isabella when looking at your pics.

funny, i'm listening to a cd that she is a guest singer in ("curtains" by the indie lounge band "tindersticks"). everytime i hear her sing i have a flashback to the movie "blue velvet".

Great pics and great makeover. Congrats to both you and B.

Genius!

i LOVE cat power!!!!

Gorgeous!!! You look smashing!!! Very stunning, great application & great look!

Wow, this is a great look for you! I read Bridget's makeover for you and was so impressed with the details she gave!!! It seems like the look came out as she planned... just fabulous for your colouring too!

Thank you for posting

Oh, Starry, you are gorgeous! I am so happy to see you in the look - how did you feel wearing it? That's the only important thing, truly.

Gotta say, I do love that lippie on you - very fresh and pretty! You look fabulous - always do, darling!

This is beautiful!! I do love the lippie too. I hope you feel as good as you look, stunning.

I'll have to ask Bridget if she'll add me to her list of makeovers!!!

Thanks ladies-I appreciate your comments! I am really happy to be compared to Chan and Isabella-thank you.
Bridget-I'm really glad to have learned this new way of putting on ES. It looks so much more professional and polished.I feel way more glam now! I am also very happy that you introduced me to Framboise lipstick, I love the bluish flash it has.

Btw: my hubby took the "before" pic and cut it in half and then flipped one side so that it was exactly congruent-the same half of my face on both sides. It was so freaky! He did it to each side-one looked so much better than the other so I guess that was my "good "side. What a creep!

WOW! You look fabulous! I looooove the deep pink lippie on you, pretty lady!

after reading bridget's makeover i had to come back and say what a great job you did with it. i esp love the brighter lippie on you. it makes those gorgeous lips of yours stand out!

and about your hubby... men are all creepy! i try my best to avoid them at all cost. i have done that to some pics of myself however... just out of curiousity cuz i know how asymmetrical my face is. the right side won. the left side is just flat out scary!

Excellent! I love the color scheme.

I love your blue wall too!

Thanks Nadja, now I feel better, because one side of my face put together made me look like a cross-eyed conehead.

Actually I was pretty nervous in trying to follow Bridget's instructions, being a bit challenged in putting MU on, so thanks for the kind words.

Tamarak- I'm glad you like my wall color. We have actually had neighbors say to us"oh you're the people with the blue bedroom" and I have also noticed that two other people within a couple of blocks of us now have the same color on their walls! I like pretty colors-that's why I like AL and this forum.

Didn't notice the color until the exchange, but it really is GORGEOUS.... it's a COLOR instead of something washed out. Perfect background for you, too.

i did take the color of your wall into consideration when looking at your pics and thought to myself that it was a perfect backdrop and made the colors you were wearing pop out more, esp your lippie.

So gorgeous! I love your hair, the eye makeup, lip color, and wall color
