Dramatically Brash & Bold

My goal was to do a "smoky hot pink" look, but what I got was a super dramatic purple smoky eye look instead. My mistake? Thinking that if I started out with a dark base, I could layer hot pink pigment over top to make it "pop" more. This is the most dramatic look I've done, but my fiance and his cousin didn't think it was "too crazy." Those guys might know a little something about overly dramatic make-up, so I'm sticking with their opinion.
