I really like this here its a blend of blacks and a darker blue



Then this blue is from the 70s

that first pic really looks like drag queen wear or night clubbing wear. You wont really see any girl wearing blue eye shadow like that during the day out and about.

I wear blue eye shadow but its DARK blue and its only on the eyelid....you can only see it if I blink. Blue to the eyebrows like in that 70s pic is a great big no no

I use green myself. It goes well with my hair color and eye color.

Oh really Now?

there's a difference between every day makeup wear and dressing up like Supergirl.

Red and blue does clash in fashion...you can only get away with it comic con.

Just like you wont see people going to classes in a full spandex body suit with underwear on the outside wearing a cape....but its ok in a comic book. Same concept.

The reality of this world doesn't necessarily aligns to the fantasy world of a comic book.

I don't think there is a problem with blue eye shadow. Heck, I love wearing mine. I use blue/purple on a daily basis. The thing is, a lot of people over do it. There is a point that you go from having nice eyeshadow to over-caked Mimi from Drew Carey look. You just have to be using it right. That is my 2 cents

Blast from the past! I never realized how horrible her makeup was rofl!!! 1 shade thickly applied, not blended all the way up to the painted eyebrows. AWFUL!!!!!!

whenever people wear blue eyeshadow other than the eyelid I always think of Meme lol

blue all the way to the eyebrows....   Shrudder

gawd...and that red lipstick LOL

Red and blue can work fine together. Like everything else in fashion, there are no absolutes and everything is subjective.

.

that's broken up with white tho...gives it more of a springy look

When I mentioned red and blue I think this

Red and blue clash together,ever see a blue car with a red interior or vice versa? I can't remember the last time I saw anyone wearing blue eye shadow here but it may be worn elsewhere and be in fashion.

Car decor is probably not the best analogy. My mother has red hair similar to mine, but it actually is more auburn, or even orange-tinged than anything like a pure red.  Most natural reds are really closer to an orange or red-orange, making their complimentaries between pure blue to blue-green. And with cosmetics, and clothing too, so much depends on skin tone too. Most redheads have a hard time, if their complexion is very fair, of pulling off a pure red, especially in clothing, my mom hates it, not flattering to her.  I only have a few red garments in my wardrobe, and can count on one hand how often I've worn them. Shawn's example of red is anything but natural.

Well I don't care, I am not letting other people dictate my fashion choices.

besides red and blue work also when paired with yellow as well (snow white comes to mind)




But I found one that looks good for every day wear too

Yeah I think green eye shadow actually works better for red hair types

That's the key, Sunshine. Wear what you like and don't concern yourself with the tastes of others. Just don't expect to win them over!

Forget the costume, I'm digging on those pumps.

The only comment I have is this:  Does your mother know you posted her picture in a public area of a trans website? 

Well, its more of a question really...

My moms pictures are already in my blog here, however My mom is not ready to accept me yet (or maybe never will)

This is my mother and I am pointing out that she looks good to me with blue eye shadow.

If she asks me to take it off I will.

the thing about this section of the forums...those pics are on google image. For example, if you google your name and go to image, every pic you put into these forums will show up...it only takes 48 hours.

Just a heads up

yeah i thought about that, well my mom already knows that I was about to transition before, right now she thinks I gave up on it. My mom doesnt use the internet much though, she has dial up at home and gets 16.8 kbps

The top one isn't SO bad (I wouldn't wear it)
The middle two are horrible! Whoever designed those could've been outdone by your every day manly man that works in construction and womanizes anything that looks remotely female.
