If you had to guess from Brandy Allen’s mugshot what crime she was accused of, you probably wouldn’t be too far off.

The Arkansas woman—whose mugshot shows her in aqua and maroon eyeshadow from lashes to brow bone—was accused Monday of shoplifting $144 worth of eyeshadow, [according to the _Associated Press_.](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/woman-accused-shoplifting-144-eye-shadow)

When Allen was confronted after stuffing the makeup into her bag, she unleashed a slew of profanity while attempting to damage the eyeshadow as she pulled it from her purse, so it’d seem the products were used, police said.

But the police didn’t buy it, and Allen was arrested shortly after. The Washington County jail said Wednesday that Allen was released on $830 bond on charges of shoplifting and disorderly conduct.

No word on what color eyeshadow she wore for her release.
