FOTD: Victorian Style? (Bad gone good)

The other day, (this is from like, 2 weeks ago!) I was sitting at my vanity doing my make-up and decided to use two of my favourite MAC shadows in a combination - MAC's Mulch eyeshadow, and MAC's Sketch eyeshadow.

Starting out with the look, I applied Mulch e/s all over the lid, and used Sketch e/s in the crease - and I immediately didn't like the look. It reminded me of something from a dark, drafty, damp room in a Victorian castle.

And I just wasn't feeling it. One thing about me is that I HATE doing my make-up and then taking it off and doing it again. So I just decided to go with it and finish the look. Adding liner and mascara and having the look completed differently changed my perception of the look and I ending up liking it.

I find that applying finishing touches (such as liner, mascara, etc..) definitely changes and completes a look.

My biggest problem with this look is the trouble I had with the lashes. I honestly had took them off and reapplied them about 7-8 times. I originally had on the E.L.F Natural lashes, but finally switched them to the Bare Elements lashes from Dollarama.
