I wear this look to work a lot, granted I work at a makeup store but this look is great for parties, night on the town, clubbing or even a hot date ;) This has to be one of my favorite looks, plus I get so many complements on it! It is a great look to help you stand out but in a good way ;) It even looks great with glasses!
As always start out with a fresh clean face. Apply foundation, concealer, powder and fill in your brows. If you want tips on how to do this check out my tutorial here :)
For this look you will only use two colors. I am using both MAC colors in Aquadisiac and Hepcat. First take the pink color and using your finger apply on your eyelid starting in the inner corner of your eye and working your way up and out. Stop in the middle of your eyelid make sure to fade the color up your eye towards your eyebrow you don't want any harsh edges.
Next use the greenish color and apply with your finger again (doing this gives you brighter colors faster than a brush and it is also easier to control) and start in the outer corner of your eye and work your way in blending when you get to the pink use a blending brush to blend the two colors so you don't have a direct line. You shouldn't be able to tell where the colors begin or end. This is what it should look like so far:
Next use an angled brush and color in the inner corner of your eye and bend the colors out toward your brow but don't leave any color on your brow bone leave that area untouched. Next you want to add color to your lower lash line. Take the pink and start in the corner of your eye and work your way out stopping at the middle of your eye. Try to keep inline with the colors on your lid. Repeat the process with the green starting from the outer corner connecting to the pink color.
Now take your liquid eyeliner and line your eyes and wing the eyeliner just a bit. Mistakes are okay and you can always tweak the liner with a Q-tip or your finger. It took me awhile to get a steady hand, just relax and do it.
The next step is option but let me say this, I don't care who you are your eyelashes are never long enough to be seen when you have thick liner on so I like to apply fake eyelashes. I used to be so against them, then fell in love. They create a whole new look and lets face it nobody likes to wear the same makeup, outfit or hairstyle. That is boring! So trust me and try it yourself ;)
First always use lash glue because the stickyness on the lashes are just not sticky enough to stay put especially when you are applying mascara. I like to use toothpicks to apply the glue:
Then use apply them as close to the lashes as you can use your finger to press down and get them to stick to your eyelids. I also like to use another toothpick to push the lashes down so I don't mess up my makeup. Next apply some liquid eyeliner across the lashes so that the line from them doesn't show and it also helps them to stick better. Curl your lashes and apply mascara.
You want to use a pink blush to finish the look off and bring just a tad bit of natural color to your cheeks I am using Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse in Pink Frosting. Smile and apply on the apples of your cheeks. Now take a pearl white color and a fan brush and while sucking in your cheeks like making a fishy face apply the white in the indent of your cheeks to give the appearance of high cheek bones.
Take the same white eyeshadow and apply on your cupids bow (right above your lip) and underneath your lower lip. Then to finish the look off take a baby pink lip liner and line your lips carefully then blend with your fingers. Next take a matte lipstick, I am using Estee Lauder's Pink Champagne lipstick, and apply it on your lips. Then take your favorite pink lipgloss I am using MAC's Pucker Tendertone and apply a dab of it on the bottom and top of your lips for a hint of shine.
The finished look:
