A View from the Detroit Opera House FotD

Jeni Mayıs 31, 2021

It was opera night in Detroit for me and my family on saturday. We saw "A View from the Bridge", which is a modern opera (written in 1999) by William Bolcom based on the play by Arthur Miller. It's the story of a dockworker named Eddie from Brooklyn and his niece Catherine who falls in love with an illegal immigrant who is a cousin of his wife. Essentially, Eddie isn't okay with it (he is inappropriately attracted to and therefore overprotective of Catherine) and it all ends tragically. What a story!

I love the Detroit Opera House.

I think my hair and makeup held up well. The following pictures were taken at the end of the night, as I didn't have time to take any before we left.

Eyes:
from the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette -- Nooner in the crease
Limit to blend out the crease
Strange under the brow
BFTE loose shadow in Orchid on the lid
L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara
Tarina Tarantino Hyperliner in Tommy Jet on the lower waterline

Cheeks:
NYX Powder Blush in Taupe to contour
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush

Lips:
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Rose Aurora (limited edition from 2012)

In case you were curious, I wore a black sheath dress with slitted sleeves (the sleeves are elbow length, but have slits in them from the shoulder to the elbow, if that makes sense -- I think it's called a cold-shoulder style or something), and snake print pumps and a snake print clutch.
