Eye Makeup That Makes You Look Hot

If you have ever walked past the Urban Decay Electric Palette, or any brightly colored eyeshadow for that matter, and thought "I WANT!" and then "I could never wear that without ending up on peopleofwalmart.com," you aren't alone. Brightly colored eyeshadow appeals to those of us who had Lisa Frank toys as a kid, but it's also really intimidating to wear. Here is one way to wear colorful makeup without looking like you're 12.
