Random Pictures of You

I think it's time we show each other what we really look like behind our gorgeous avatars

Feel free to post as many photos of yourself as often as you wish.

--------------------------------
Note:
For those who don't know how to post a picture, here is how:

If you look at the options given above your text box when preparing a post, you'll see a button with the picture of a tree. If you click this button, it will open a text box in which you place the URL of the image (ex. 'http://imageshack.us/blahblah') and then press ok. This will create the necessary coding to post the image.

The other way is to just type the coding yourself, which is fairly simple. Just type:



That's it, folks.

Now onto my pictures...

Me and my husband:


After arriving in Spain in August '08, I decided to chop off all my hair due to the amount of damage I had caused it from dyeing it red (which fades so quickly)so often, and blowdry + ironing just about every day without heat protection. The previous picture just shows how amazing my iron was at disguising. Anyway, this is how short I went:


And some growth after a couple of months.

It's about an inch longer now than in the picture above, but it's the worst and most awkward part of growing out my hair so far, so I won't show.

Your turn.

This is a recent photo of me before going out in central London. I'm on the right.


At our Uni summer ball last year (carrying a bottle of wine, classy!). The boyfriend is behind looking strange!


And finally, my fantastic sister and I in Pisa

Daisy, you're such a doll. You and your sister look almost identical.

As for the rest of you, don't be so shy!
(This includes you too, Sam/Nic)

You girls look great!
Janet, I see you live in Valencia I'd love to visit this city!

And you live in Italy!

Let's trade

I really don't like putting my face online. But I did do this Halloween look last year (it was one of the Challenges on my blog).

Such gorgeous eyes! I am jealous now.

You have amazing eyes as well.... so no need to be jealous.

[b]my attempt at the edie sedgwick look. the first i'm wearing my glasses, but you can't really see it, so i took one without my glasses so yeah here is me!





Thanks

Another member with gorgeous eyes. I love your glasses, too.

thanks!

TRASH! Not a look for everyday but it went down well at the club.

You, sir, are very androgynous, even with a beard! My first thought was, "omg, she has a beard!" LOL

I love the makeup, as well. Very very nice.
Edit: Would you mind telling us what you used?

wow DollyV you look amazing in that makeup!

~Jesse~

Thank you both very much! I love to see pictures of posters as it makes things seem a bit more friendly and human. Come on everyone else!

Also, what colour did you use for your Edie Sedgwick VW?

Please bear in mind I am on a very tight budget - no designer labels here at all, as beautiful as Chanel may look. Hurray for unemployment..!

Products
Regular foundation
Regular concealer
Regular pressed powder
120 Pro Palette (by 'Manly'..!)
- a shimmery white gold for highlight (it looks like an off white/yellow in the palette)
- a light shimmery bronze (again it is necessary to swatch as the colours do not show their true potential when compacted)
- very dark brown
Collection 2000 Kohl pencil
Collection 2000 Fast stroke eyeliner
Mascara

Just in case anyone was in any doubt about the lastability of any of those products, I can assure you the look survived dancing and a very very late night.

I am forever indebted to the pixiwoos for the 'post-make up concealing' trick. It truly seals the deal.

DollyV i agree with you. i like when people post pictures too.

The color i used was a Medusa's Makeup eye dust in black sabbith.

Hmm.. maybe if we had a FOTD forum or something, we'd have more members posting. I'll make a poll about it.

However, I'd still like to keep this thread for random pictures of ourselves every now and then, not really makeup-related.

yeah that would be a cool idea!

~Jesse~

I want to look like this

heres some photos of me. I very vain btw so try to look past that lol!

(testing out some gosh makeup which is my new love)



and heres me attempting to recreate one of pixiewoo's tuts on bright colours. I loved the outcome but i felt so naked and bare in this photo.

Well done! I love your eyeliner and great job on the bright look.

Feel free to breathe some life into this forum and post as often as you wish in here!

Check my new hair!



~Jesse~

Well my mug is on my Avy but here's another slightly bigger photo. Holiday snap actually. You can just see the statue of Liberty in the background in no more.

Great new hair VW! Love that colour and it shapes your face so nicely.

Hullo new people!

Thanks DV!
