Thanks for the awesome contest with an awesome prize!
I wanted to take part in this contest because I'm only thirteen and thought it would help improve my skills.

http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/6387/makeupg.jpg

To start off, I applied a light cream eyeshadow (MAC Vanilla) all over the lids and up to the brow bone. I also patted some into the outside of the inner corners to really make the eyes stand out. Then I applied a coppery bronze shadow all over the lid up to about the crease. Then I applied a light gold colour into the crease for the 'sunset' effect.

I also applied a turquoise blue colour on the lower lash line for the sunset on the water effect.

To finish off I added a light pop of colour to my cheeks using a pale pink blush and I also used a pale pink lipstick (MAC Viva Glam Gaga) topped with a shimmery baby pink lipgloss.

I actually did this look last week! And this is exactly what it reminded me of when I was finished with it! WEIRD!
I just used my 88p palette for this look.

Hey everyone. Here is my sunset inspired look. I decided to go with the purples and oranges instead of the classic sunset look. I just thought those colors on the bottom were the most inspiring. Also, I used a ton of eye-shadows because I didn't have many orange or the right shade of purple. Hope you like!

Quick question regarding posts/entries! If I don't feel comfortable posting a full face shot and just post eyes/lips, can I still have a chance at winning? And of course if I do anything on the cheeks I'd post a snip of that?

Wow, so many great entries! :)

This will be the first time for me posting a makeup look on this forum, haha. I'm sorry about the bad camera quality though.
