Monolid Madness #1: Nanette Lepore NYFW Inspired

I was really excited to see so many (I guess it was more like a handful, but still) Asian models at New York Fashion Week this year!  It's really awesome to see beautiful monolidded ladies rocking some high fashion looks - plus it makes it way easier to re-create the looks I like (a nice bonus!).

I was really inspired by this picture from the Nanette Lepore show:

 I love the colors and the somewhat haphazard application.  It looks like they both just grabbed a brush and threw on some eyeshadow...and just happen to look edgy and cool when they finish, because it's always that easy, right?  I wish!

The look itself is fairly easy to do and I think it compliments a monolid eye shape nicely.  Here's how I re-created this look.

Monolid Madness

Monolid Madness is a blog series I am starting that will focus on monolid makeup application (duh!  Can I state the obvious or what).  I am not an expert but I hope that the tips/tricks/information that I have gathered over the years will be helpful to some of you!  I'm also going to reinterpret beauty looks especially for us lucky ladies who have monolids.  There are tons of celebrities whose styles I admire, hundreds of beauty campaign pictures, and fashion show looks that I just love; however they are all done on Caucasian eyes...so Monolid Madness will focus on how to reinterpret the look so it has the same vibe but works for those without a crease.
