This page has had a lot of new visitors in the last few weeks, which is wonderful. I hope all of you, if not some, will stick around for the ride. I’m just over two months away from AYF’s first year anniversary. The viewership has grown over ten fold since the first couple of months. I’m humbled. Thank you.  I will be moving this site either to Blogger or a self-hosted site soon so that we can have more of a community (Google Follow, Facebook Widget, etc.). Word Press is wonderfully organized, but limited in some ways.  I’m looking for ideas on how to transform the look of the site. If any of you out there have ideas on want to take on an internship, please drop me a note or tweet me @AceYourFaceUK .

Anyway, on to the FOTD.  This look is focused on contouring the inner and outer eye so that the focus is on the center of the eye lids, which has a lighter colour. This type of eye shadow effect is usually used to visually reduce lid space of women with really prominent eyes and plenty of lid space. So long as your eyes aren’t teeny tiny, you can still rock this look. Check after the break for a picture collage of this look and a full list of products ).
