The picture on the left is without flash. I take these pictures myself, so the flash tends to be harsher at times than it really appears in person.

After browsing your webpage for the last week, I unintentionally created this look with similar colors. My mom had me do her makeup for a wedding she was attending and asked me to help her. We took a few pictures but I’m not sure how to submit them to the site. Anyway, thanks for posting this great site!
Hi Ola, I’m so glad you found my site!
Please send me pictures at request@nerdygirlmakeup.com — I would love to see them!
What are the conacts you are wearing in these pictures? The brand? They are really realistic.
Hi Breezey,
Unfortunately I don’t wear contacts just for color. These are prescription, so I order them from my optometrist. The color is called Sapphire Blue though. My contacts last for one year, so every year I order these same ones because it’s my favorite color.
