Shadow On Brows:Dare You?

WOULD YOU BRIGHT EYES & BRIGHT BROWS...
 OR WOULD YOU PALE EYES & NUDE BROWS ?

I've been so busy lately that I've got all these interesting back posts I've been meaning to get up and this is one of them.It's what's trending on the New York scene in a fashion editorial titled "East Side Story" from my July issue of Marie Claire.I love that they call the fashion designers the "Designer Gangs of New York" and the entire spread is done with models clad in leather,metals,fur,chains and deconstructed garments.What caught my attention was the use of eye shadow application over and on the brows with bright pops of color.It's not something new with makeup but I have been seeing it in several magazines lately wondering if it will catch on with the masses.This would be definite fun  for a night on the town but would anyone dare to wear this look at the office? Maybe it could be worked into a doable day look if it were a bit more subtle-say like a gold sheen shadow highlighting the brows because I've done stuff like that before but I'm really itching to try that blue shade over my brows-it looks fantastically outrageous on the model! What's more interesting is that they had a completely contrasting eye brow look in the same spread showcasing nude brows.For instance one or two pages with the bright brows then the next pages they had the models with the nude brows.They also had the shadows completely over the brow and well into the outer eye area.This nude brow is showing up on a few magazine covers as well.I don't think I could pull the nude brow look off though because my forehead isn't as tiny as those models lol! but I won't know unless I try right? I added just a few images that I took with my digital camera but it's not the complete spread and sorry for the bright flash all over the photos.I also love that I can show you how nice a pink eye looks on those with pale skin because some of you might think a bright pink eye shadow might not be so viable on your skin tone.I'm completely obsessed with pink shades now-it's crazy! BTW...I purchased a palette that is outrageously bright and will review it when it arrives so I can't wait for that. You girl's like? XOXO
