So I get bored from time to time, and since I have nobody readily available to practice on, I practice on myself. Here are just a few pics of some stuff I was playing around with...hope you enjoy!
You'll notice I use quite a bit of Wet N Wild eyeshadows; for being a drugstore brand they have some really good products. Their shimmery eyeshadows tend to have a lot of fall-out if you don't use them right, but their matte eyeshadows are so good...super blendable and smooth.
This first look is fairly simple in terms of color placement. I did a traditional winged eyeliner with a pop of blue underneath, strong eyebrows, heavy contouring and highlighting, and finished off with a blue rhinestone in the corner of each eye.

The second look is just an eyeshadow look, I did absolutely nothing to my face...can u tell?? The cool thing about this look is that I only used one color for the smokey eye. The color I used was this really cool duo-chrome eyeshadow in a Wet N Wild Palette I recently bought. It's basically a shimmery, dark blue-brown, but at some angles it gives off a warm, red-brown color...it's really awesome. I took the inner corner of the smokey-eye up to the brow and winged it out in the outer corner.
