Sakura-inspired EOTD

Hey Lovelies ^_^

Just this Saturday there was a Hanami in Copenhagen. A few years ago, to mark the birthyear of famous writer Hans Christian Andersen, 200 years to be exact, the Japanese government donated 200 cherry-blossom trees to The kingdom of Denmark. It was quite festive, there were food stalls and people having picnics under the trees and drinking beer.

There were shows with dancing and you could try out Ikebana-flower arranging as well as attend a tea ceremony. Overall a lovely event arranged by the Danish-Japanese society.

But what really caught my eye was the delicate color of the sakura flowers. No wonder Japanese people take time off and admire these beauties.







Eyes:
Guerlain 4 eyeshadow compact: Touche de rose (they don't make this anymore I believe)
The lightest shimmer e/s on brownbone od lower inner corners of eyes
The matte light pink e/s on inner 2/3rds of eye lid
The darker rose e/s applied in crease and outer 1/3rd of lid
The darkest shimmer rose color applied along upper lashline and outer 1/2 of lower lashline









Thanks for looking!
