'Metallic Grass Cut-Crease' Look

'Metallic Grass Cut-Crease' Look

This look was inspired by the lovely and talented Nireyna on Live Journal. Here's the inspiration - HERE. It is a pretty intense cut-crease look and is not meant for everyday wear. I had so much fun doing this...wish I had more free time to do these intense looks.
