Panda Eyes: How To Get Them
I really love the look called "panda eyes" that a lot of high fashion magazine ads show on their models. It looks like this:
I did my own interpretation and this is what I came up with:
Here's what I used:
MAC mineralize pressed powder foundation
MAC soft ochre paint pot (base)
MAC shadestick in sharkskin
Rimmel London special eyes eyeshadow in jet black
L' Oreal wear infinite smokey eyes eyeshadow palette (used to blend with black on top of crease and highlight)
Clinique high impact mascara
MAC blush in gingerly
Ben Nye eyeliner in black
Rimmel London eye brow pencil in panama
Bath and Body Works raspberry plum lip balm
What do you think of this look? Would you try it? What's the craziest makeup you've ever worn?

- About Me: I guess you could say most of what I wear is inspired by the music I listen to. I love skinny jeans and band t-shirts, but I also love sophisticated things like heels and pearls. So I suppose my style could be called "sophisticated and edgy." I love making plain band t's into something more girly. For make up, I love dramatic eyes! On most days I'll wear a smokey eye look, with lots of pink blush, and nude lips. Purple is my favorite color of eyeshadow because it really brings out brown eyes. And lots of black! I love really dark make up looks.

id love to sport these,but my boy hates them so i cant :[
I love it!!! Looks good on you. Unfortunatly I have to wear glasses...
That looks good on you. But I imagine on paler people, it just looks like they got suckerpunched.
I love it, and since I am gothic, I used to do it ! But I prefer to mix grey and black powder, it is a little bit softer and make a great effect of shadow, lightning eyes.
The problem of this kind of make up is that everybody can't do this... It depends on look. It is easy to look "gothic" without wanted it with this kind of make up, and the result is sometimes weird.
As long as the person trying it didn't have bags under their eyes, they'd be good I think haha. Otherwise, I think it's taking the smokey eye to the next level. Looks excellent on you.
All that makeup for "panda eyes" it's cute but I'm not sure if I could pull it off.
x AimThat seems like an AWFUL lot of makeup, and while it looks great on you, it'd make me look much older. And I'm old enough as it is.
I would look like death if I did that. I'm pale as a ghost.
It looks cute, but I couldn't pull it off.
i love it! :D
I'm pale, pale, pale. Though once upon a goth phase I use to wear thick eyeliner, thick mascara, and red lipstick.
You pull it off well, but I don't think I'd do so well with this look.
i'm not a fan of that look. it's overdoing it for me.
That's too much for me, I like wearing as little makeup as I can get away with.
too much makeup.
i think you look nice with, but probably better without.
how pretty! good job. :]
It looks horrible, sorry.
There's a difference between doing the smokey eye technique and overdoing with the color black. It makes it look unclean more than anything.
I'm not into the panda eye thing, so I don't know if yours is good or bad. I know I'd never try it, because my eyes are actually my favorite part of my facial features and I feel like too much eye makeup would ruin them.
i think it looks pretty awesome!
i always have really bad dark rings under my eyes and i'm ghostly pale, so i'd look like a vampire if i tried it *sigh*
@aalluu@xanga - i say go for it.... it's not like he owns you!
@brighxtbluexeyes@xanga - lol same here
It looks great on you!!! I'm so white, my skin is almost translucent....ok, not that bad, but you get the idea. I feel like it would look super wrong on me. XD
no. gross. stop. only on the runway
great! now uhh....maybe u should give us instructions on how to do it?
panda eyes look awesome on you! =)
i would hesitate trying it thought since it's quite a bit of makeup.
