Designer Lulin Ding has created an ultra cool way to go makeupless.
Her design project, Digitize Eyeshadow, is amazing. Lulin Ding created an LED light project that turns on and off with the blinking of an eye, to replace traditional eye shadow. The fact that eye makeup is typically seen when the eyes are closed was the inspiration behind Ding's incredibly interesting digital art project.
Lulin Ding says of her project, "[The] inital decision to use the light to paint the eyelids when you blink and close your eye. To digitize the object even more and I programmed the individual LEDs to vary their brightness."
The Digitize Eyeshadow project is a must-see for any fashion lover and tech geek.
