A Surprise Black Eye

A social media post showcases a woman with heavily lidded smokey eyes in shades of black and purple. Unfortunately, the dramatic effect makes her look like she’s sporting a pair of shiners. The long eyelashes don’t help, failing to extend around the eyes and adding to the peculiar vibe.

As she closes her eyes and leans back for the perfect shot, the makeup looks more like a Halloween costume gone wrong than a glam makeover. While the intention might have been to create a sultry, smokey eye, the result is more startling than stunning. Maybe next time, a little less drama would go a long way.
