    Ash, here's a couple styles I found that look interesting.

    You want a change?! And I was just going to send you a link to something I saw on Marilyn Monroe's eyeliner tricks. But I can understand repitition to get old.

    The fifties style of makeup, cat-eyes with bold lips and pale skin works so well with your fair skin and dark hair colour... Something that would be a big change, maybe, is the 'modern' style of makeup?

    I like the style and how they compliment both white and black pencils. It still has those tips which stretch to the sides of your face, which I think is really cool. And the emphasis on the eyes is definitely still evident, haha!

    The only problems I could see are A) the fact that it takes a great deal of precision with the eyeliner. I dont know how much effort you put into your makeup every day, but I am so lazy! I could do it maybe once a week, but not every day. Maybe not the best 'every day' look, unless you can figure out how to achieve it without spending 2 hours and $20 on eyeliner? In fact, a worn-in mod look would look really cool! And B) I love your skin colour; you're like Snow White (as soon as I wrote that, I realized how true it was! Fair skin, ruby red lips...!), but lip colour is generally supposed to be the same colour as your skin, but I dont know how that would turn out on you. Would take some trial and error, but I think it would turn out pretty nice!

    I say go for it, if it's not too far out of your comfort zone. It is pretty different from your look right now.

    LOL, or you could go Harijuku makeup...

    Just kidding! They both look pretty, if costume-y, and I think that subculture is very interesting... But there's drawing attention, and then there's drawing attention. :p

    ^ Lmao, I actually do have a blue lipstick somewhere. God knows why.

    Thanks guys, those styles look really cool...i'm sure i'll figure out someway of creating an every-day version. I might practise with eyeshadows and white pencils, apparently white pencil inside a black line makes eyes look larger? that'd be cool.
