I couldn't resist getting playful after having a really rough week!
I needed the creative exercise :-)
I hope you like it!
EYES:
♥ UDPP
♥ Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk to lid up to crease
♥ Ulta shadow in Naked from brow to crease
♥ A bright orange shadow from the 252 palette to lid
♥ A deep purple shadow applied to outer corner and to cut crease
(Take your time on this step. Delicate strokes are critical!)
♥ A deep red from the 252 palette gently placed above the crease
♥ A softer red used above the darker red to blend the crease up and out
towards brow bone
♥ Sugarpill black shadow in Bulletproof to lower lash line
♥ Apply black mascara to lashes, and black eyeliner to lash and water line
♥ Red Cherry Lashes in 47's to upper lashes
♥ To the lower lashes, I applied a pair of really weird lashes that I got at Forever 21
a million years ago... I trimmed them, inverted them, and glued them in place.
♥ For added drama, I popped in a pair of circle lenses.
I am wearing these. Kimchi Bambi Grey.
BLUSH & CONTOUR:
♥ Nyx Dusty Rose applied to apples of cheeks
♥ Coastal Scents contour palette:
Dark brown shade used to contour cheek bones, temples, nose, and jaw.
White shade used to highlight center of forehead, under eyes, tip of nose, and chin.
LIPS:
♥ Nyx Round Lipstick in Paparazzi
♥ Nyx Round Gloss in Doll Pink
There it is, and I'm exhausted!! Ha ha!! Although this was really involved, it was a blast to create. :-)
Thank you so much for stopping by! I truly appreciate it :-)
xoxo,
Colleen

ReplyDeleteI looked at this on Sunday night from my phone and thought, "I need to comment in the morning from my computer so it's easier to type."
And then...I didn't. For like 4 days. Because I'm super lame.
HOWEVER...I really do love this look! LOVE it. Like Marina, I just keep staring...it's mesmerizing! I love that tangerine color, and the lenses are killer. Love your wavy hair, too! GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GIRL!!

Hi Saranda! Thank you!
DeleteI love this super bold look. My favorite parts are the lashes and the lenses - but all of it is great. I swear if I ever attempted something like that with my eyes - I would not look nearly as good as you do :-) Great work.

Hi Missy! Thank you!
DeleteOh my goodness you have such gorgeous red hair! And I'm very glad I found your site, my husband has been pestering me to be a little more "glam". I never really used make-up when I was in high-school though, so my idea of putting on make-up is running a mascara brush over my lashes and putting on lipgloss! I always seem to mess things up when I put on something like eyeshadow though - last time it looked like I had a shiner! I'm bookmarking your site so I can take a peek at it whenever I get to date night, haha!
ReplyDeleteI found you from the Aloha Friday Blog Hop by the way (isn't that thing handy?), I'd appreciate a visit and a follow-back when you get the chance!
