Woman accused of stealing eye shadow not helped by mug shot

An American woman accused of shoplifting more than $150 worth of eye shadow has denied the allegations but her mug shot appears to have given her away.

Brandy Allen was arrested at an Arkansas beauty store on Monday after she allegedly grabbed handfuls of make-up and stuffed them into her purse, KSFM reports.

Ultra Beauty store workers said when they asked the 31-year-old to open her purse she began running her fingers through the eye shadow to make the items appear used.

"No one f---ing saw me steal anything," Allen said, according to a police report.

When police arrived at the store Allen continued to insist the make-up was hers but despite her protestations she was taken into custody.

Allen's bond was set at $890 and she faces charges of shoplifting and disorderly conduct.
