Fun with Eye Shadow

[mom22seans]

Ok, here's my first attempt ... touched up the rest of it quite a bit also trying not to make it look too overly done... (hoping I do the attachments correctly!...)

One more, just for the heck of it. I added lashes on the bottom, eyeliner, and three layers of eye shadow (black, yellowish, greenish). Not crazy about my color choices for the eye shadow, but I'm a bit... umm... inexperienced in such matters.

Nice job! I'm having a hard time getting the blending down (can't get my own make up to blend either! LOL)

I do have one other quick question though. Using the tutorial CathyH recommended, when I input the same values for the color that the tutorial suggests, I get a different color & color #. Is this because I'm using CS3 Extended? Or am I doing something else wrong? I do have my layer mode set to "color" but I can never quite get the hue I'm going for. I tried switching Color Libraries also... anyone know how to set that back to which ever one the default was?

Not sure about your color values, but I know that I've mistakenly put RGB values into the CMYK or HSB input boxes. When I'm copying a color, I like to use the hex value which goes into the bottom # box. So, using the tutorial as an example, try plugging-in 00448f as the hex value and you should see a nice blue.
