Okay, here’s my attempt at writing a blog post in that style, based on the (hypothetical) topic “roman reigns blue eyes”.
Alright, so I messed around with trying to get that Roman Reigns blue eyes look going on. You know, that intense stare he’s got? I’m not naturally blessed with ice-blue eyes, so I figured I’d see what I could do to fake it ’til I make it.
First thing I did? Obvious, right? Contact lenses. I hopped online and looked up “blue contact lenses,”. Found a bunch of options, some looked straight-up scary, like Halloween-level weird. I wanted something believable, something that wouldn’t make me look like I was possessed.
Ended up ordering a pair of “natural-looking” blue lenses from some random site. They weren’t too expensive, which probably should’ve been a red flag. They arrived a week later, and the packaging looked kinda sketchy. But hey, I was committed at this point.
Popped those suckers in (after sanitizing, obviously, I’m not a complete idiot). And… oh man. They were uncomfortable. Like, really uncomfortable. I blinked a bunch, tried to get used to them, but it just wasn’t happening. Plus, they didn’t even look that good! They were this weird, flat, unnatural blue. More like Smurf eyes than Roman Reigns.
So, scratch the contact lenses. My eyes were already watering and irritated, so I decided to try a different approach. I started researching eye makeup. Yeah, I know, sounds kinda girly, but whatever, gotta do what you gotta do for the ‘gram, right?
Watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials on how to make brown eyes look bluer. Apparently, it’s all about contrast. You gotta use warm, earthy tones around your eyes to make the blue pop. I dug out my old eyeshadow palette (hadn’t touched that thing in years) and started experimenting.
I tried a bunch of different combinations. Browns, golds, bronzes… I even tried a little bit of orange! Looked like I had pink eye, lol. After like an hour of messing around, I finally landed on something that looked… decent. Not amazing, but decent. A warm brown in the crease, a shimmery gold on the lid, and a dark brown eyeliner. It did make my eyes look a little bluer, but it was subtle.
The real secret, I discovered, was the lighting. In good lighting, with the right eyeshadow, my eyes looked kinda blue-ish. In bad lighting? Back to boring old brown. So, basically, I had to carry around a ring light everywhere I went. Not exactly practical.
In the end, I kinda gave up on the whole Roman Reigns blue eyes thing. It was way too much effort for too little payoff. I’m just gonna rock my natural brown eyes and call it a day. Maybe I’ll try a blue-eyed filter on Instagram sometime, but that’s about it.
So, yeah, that was my failed attempt at getting blue eyes. Learned a few things along the way, mostly that I’m too lazy for that kinda stuff. Back to being me, brown eyes and all.
