The ref. pic was taken when I was at my highschool prom XD.. it did not turn out the way it looked in the picture =_=.... but it turned out ok... I dont really know where the shadows go on the face so.. there is obviously something wrong with the shadowing X( lol i have small eyes ._. sorry if it's so hideous that it scaress you :O
