Do NOT try this at home

I promise I don't have anything against Miley Cyrus. I really don't. I think she is a beautiful girl and I envy her purse collection, but sometimes she just makes me want to throw my hands up in frustration because why, WHY would such a pretty, young person feel the need to put so much makeup on? Does the photo on the left look like a person who is not even 20 years old to you? If I looked at this picture and just had to take a guess as to this person's age, I would say, 33, 35 maybe. This is what I mean by too much. Obviously, the face she's making is not really what I would call "appropriate," but that's beside the point. The point is, this look is not age appropriate. She's made herself look a lot older than she actually is, and not in a good way. Dark eye makeup doesn't always equal sexy, so think about it before you start piling it on. For the most part, darker shadow colors should be applied to the outside corner of your eyes, with lighter shades in the inner corners and on the majority of the lid. When you put dark colors on your lids, it tends to make the eyes look smaller and less open, which is probably not the look you're going for.

It IS within the realm of possibility to look beautiful while also looking your age. Just don't use Miley here as an example.
