Funky Purple and Turquoise Tutorial

Hey there...
As I mention in the tutorial, I dont really wear purple eyeshadow much anymore, because my hair is purple. I feel like purple hair, purple eyebrows and purple eyeshadow is just.... too grape-like for my personal taste.

But hey, maybe it works for you.

Anyway, I have enough purple eyeshadow to cater to an army of non purple-haired people, and I hate neglecting how preeeeeetty it looks on! To give it a little something to balance out the purple overload, i added a pop of teal to my lower lashline (I wonder if anyone guessed that there are my two favourite colours).

Hope you enjoy!

Light Lilac Eyes

Ok so I'm having some photographic issues. I'll work it out soon.
Any it's spring, and I felt like wearing lilac eyeshadow. It's the first time I've worn purple makeup since I dyed my hair.
And the lighting is awful too, sorry.

Products Used:

Face:
-MAC Face and Body C3
-Cover FX Full Coverage Cream Foundation #M40 (under eyes)
-Inglot Loose Powder
-Nars blush in Orgasm

Eyes:
-UDPP
-Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes cream shadow #18 (light shimmery lilac blended on the eyelids)
-Inglot eyeshadow #493 mixed with Lise Watier Folie Blanche (light shimmery lilac colour on the main lids)

-Too Faced eyeshadow in Cocoa Puff (dark brown etched in the crease)
-Urban Decay Virgin (light shimmery colour, inner corner and browbone)

Lips:
-Revlon Lipstick in Pink Pout blended over lip balm

Enjoy!

I Return, with Dark Eyes!

I know, I know. And I'm sorry. But I'm back!
Prom is coming up, and I am swamped with clients. Each gorgeous girl has her own taste, and I must cater to everyone. But for those who may not have someone doing your makeup, I will begin posing ideas now.

This also fits into the "ridiculous smoky eyes" category of spring trends in 2012.

Face!!

 Closeups!

Eyes closed

Eye open

Now I forgot what I was dealing with when I departed on this journey of darkness... Carbon eyeshadow from MAC is a deep matte black, and has an odd chalky texture that, when used carelessly, will cause FALLOUT!! NOOO!!! HISS!
So be very cautious of how you use black or dark eyeshadows. Perhaps do all of your eye makeup, clean up your face where eyeshadow may have fallen down, THEN do your face makeup. Silly me!

Deep Plum Smokiness

Hello hello!!! One way to do a smoky eye is with a medium shade on the lid and a darker colour blended in the crease... But today I felt like doing a more gradient smoky eye. You shall see what I mean!

It's shimmery. It's pink. It's purple. It's awesome.

I guess it's because I am a forgetful person, but I left my lips bare... again.

Closeups!

Puuurple

 Looking down, you can see the blend from dark to light plum...

You can see the gradient from dark purple at the lashline to light plummy pink in the crease

Glittery Lilac and Taupe Nails

Hello!
I painted my nails today, and I thought it would look nice to layer a cool-toned light purple with a sheer taupe glitter. Try layering different polishes in your collection for a different look!

I really liked how this glitter polish looked with a lavender undertone.
Hah! Try saying that 5 times fast! Lavender undertone lavender undertone lavender undertone lavender undertone...

I had some friends over last night. And as I always do when Olivia and Amanda come over, I attacked their faces!

Forgive the cell-phone quality pictures.

Bold Valentine's Day Look

Anyone who knows me knows I love vibrant makeup... Sometimes I border on Drag! Looks like this one do NOT intimidate me at all. I adore colour! If this freaks you out too much, but a soft gold wash on the eyes like my last Valentine's day look is not enough for you, I will post a moderate-intensity look soon.

This was the look I wore when I went to Sephora that one time before Christmas and accidentally bought a really good brush, which I used today for my foundation!

The inspiration for the colours is obvious...

Whoah!

 I had a little trouble with the lighting in this next photo...

Hmm.

Purple!

 More!

Pink!

Finally I put my Sugarpill to use.

Fun Purple Nails

For Christmas, I got my very first crackle-style polish!
Welcome, Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Ink Splatter.

Ink Splatter

I decided to pair it over a not-so-pale purple, because I didn't want too much of a contrast with the black. I used a Forever 21 nail polish. I can't find it anymore, but I believe it is called Love&Beauty Magenta. It is a gorgeous purple that is lighter than Makeup Forever #92 eyeshadow.
Silly comparison, I know.

Love&Beauty Magenta?

The Sally Hansen black overcoat is pretty matte somehow, but I used topcoat to make it shine. The splintery black areas are thinner and more sparse with a thin layer, and larger with smaller cracks if you use a thick coat.
Obviously two coats would not create a very nice effect.

Just thought this was a nice nail look for winter. Cooler tones, not glittery or too crazy. Hope someone out there tries this out!

The Forever21 polish retails for 2.80.
The Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat is under 10$.
