I was playing around with make-up and my phone and pulled this out of it all. Enjoy!
Here's an edited version... Which one's better?

The hardest mountain to climb will have the greatest view. Everything at a different angle: memories serve as double vision, a view from the valleys as well as the precipice. But everything that goes up must come down.The descent from the peak will be twice as graceful & three times as difficult
Now, I'm no makeup expert, so I'll go for quality. It, as you said, is to big for me to take a good solid look at it. You can go on Photobucket and upload it there. Then you take the IMG code and copy/paste it to your message.
The picture itself is a little blurry, phones are never good for good quality. And I'd play around with the exposure because it's very pink.

I'm not really sure what you want me to comment about, the picture or the make up.
But, since I am a makeup expert, I will comment about that. (haha)
I saw this same make up scheme in Seventeen a few months back. Same sparkles, same colors, were you trying to copy that? haha
I do really like how the sparkles turned out in the picture. It gives some sort of a frosty, sparkled raindrop feeling. Very nice.
Overall, I would totally wear this on my eyes, which look almost exactly like yours sometimes. (my eyes change colors) I think the colors of the shadow really compliment your eyes. Well done!
Omg! Classy, my eyes change colors, too! XD **For the make-up: I wasn't going for something out of Seventeen... But I'll take that as a compliment!

Well as I'm no make up expert, I shall comment on the photography. (And the un-edited one is much better.) But, it does compliment your eyes. And OMG! I love the color of your eyes. So pretty!
Well, obviously it's difficult to take eyes, they never show up 'the perfect way,' this is a good attempt. It definitely could use more focusing. The one thing that puts me off is your eye expression. Well, that may be the natural way you look at things but to funk up the picture try different angles/ expressions. For that, it'd be better if you tell someone to take the picture for you or better still, use someone's eyes as your model!
Anyway, good work. ~Lava

Hi there icanbefixed! I'm Shauni, pleasure to meet you and I'll not preceed to the review!
So, lwt mw first say " You are an amazing eye color!" It's jusr fenomenal. I have a very regular brown ... I also enjoyt the make-up, even though not being a make-up artist; it's pretty. For the photo itself, I'll be truly honest and straight-forward (I'm only doind this for your own improvement):
This should be posted on your blog (if you have one) or, in the Lounge Forum "Post your Pic Here". This is not professional; it is not even posting-good. Rule one for Macro images ( what you did, meaning, a picture is taken to a small element put into a shot) - they need to be focused! If not, they'll lose everything and become a simple amature and badly taken photo! It's the only thing that it's bad there; the composition is right; the light is good as well, at least from what I can see but, the only thing bad that ruins literally, the photo is not being focused! Also, your expression should be wider; we should be able to see the whole eye, not just a glimpse, almost like you were winking your eye when the image was captured.
Being a *itch right now, this photo shouldn't be here, as a piece of art. Sorry. I don't like the edited one as well, for the same reasons and the colours that you chose don't go that well either.
If I hurt you deeply, please, apologise me. I only did it because you can always improve and, who knows, you may even find a hidden photographer in yourself. PM me if you need any comment/review/help around the site!
I like the second one -- the heatmap effect on the second kind of throws everything out of recognition. You have a pretty eye color, though!
If you reshoot this, try to keep your eye wider open, and try setting the camera, if it has such a mode, to macro -- indicated by a little flower -- so that you can have a closer focus. Nice work on the makeup.

Hey there! As a bloke, I don't particularly have any expertize in the fields of make up, but I will say you have wonderful eyes! Well, as I'm no Mr. Make-up, I'll review your second photo! Personally I think the blurred effect from the enlargement actually compliments the colour overlay you have on here. The eye looks sort-of painted and a big impact colour mixture that could be showing some form of surreal pop-art, which is adorable. I think the picture is a brilliant size and in a wooden frame, this could look a stunning piece! Anyway, keep up the random photography! It pays off! Ben.
