Makeup Look: Green eye/Sheer coral lip





Here I:

♦ Applied a medium green shadow (Urban Decay's Green Goddess) to the whole lid
♦Smoked it out slightly by adding some black (Urban Decay Zero) in the crease
♦Brightened it up a bit by adding a bright green shadow to the middle of the lid, the area above the iris (Urban Decay Graffiti)
♦Used a frosty browbone highlight color (Mac's Frost pigment)

I paired it with a sheer coral lipstick (Urban Decay's Indecent). This lipstick is moisturizing, but for how sheer it is, I wouldn't recommend paying the $22 for it. It basically just gives a little shine and a tiny bit of color which you can get from any cheap brand, but I wanted to try out .

Makeup Look: Glitter Liner

I love glitter eye liner. It can make any look more interesting with either a lot or a little sparkle, and because the glitter is in the liner you don't have to worry about it getting all over the place.

For a more intense "look at me" look, you could use glitter liner to create something like this:


Or for a more natural, "normal" look with just a bit of sparkle, you could go for something like this:
On the first look I:
♥Created a cat eye with a slight wing with black pencil liner and lined around the entire I
♥Then added blue glitter liner on the top (Mac's Peacocky)

And on the second eye, I:
♥ Applied a nuetral golden color on the whole lid (Mac's Honeylove shadow)
♥Lined the top lash line with gel liner (Mac's fluidline) and put a gold glitter liner on top of that (Too Faced's Stalkerazzi)

Tips and tricks:
♥I like to apply black liner first becuase it will make the glitter stand out more.
♥You can also apply glitter liner over eyeshadow to look like glittery eyeshadow, but make sure you have a base that sticks on really well (even something like Mac's Fluidline) because otherwise the liquid can rub off the shadow.

A bright pink ligloss would compliment either one of the eye looks.

Makeup Look: Violet/Turqoise Eye

To do this look, I:
♥Applied a violet shadow (Mac's Creme de Violet) on the inner eye, about 1/3 of the way in.
♥On the other 2/3rds of the way out, I applied a turqoise color (Mac's Aquidisiac).
♥On the crease, I applied a dark smoky blue (Mac's Contrast).
♥I used a felt tip liquid liner (Maybelline's) and winged it out slightly, lined the bottom lash line with a pencil liner, and added mascara.
Pretty simple.
To match the violet on the eyes you can finish the look with some lavender lipstick if you want.

Above is Mac's Lavender Whip in the Creemsheen formula. Mac comes out with bright unique lip colors that go on smoothly and aren't too much money compared to other high end lines.

Below is what I used.

Makeup Look: Bronze Eyes, Red Lips

Bronzey-gold shadow is my go-to color. It's so versatile because it can be subtle enough for a conservative work environment, but you can also glam it up for any occasion. It also looks great on most skin tones, in my opinion, though you have to watch out for orangey-ness in some shadows if you don't like that.

♥Here I applied the lighter golden color all over the lid (Mac's Gold Mode pigment, applied the darker brown pigment in the outer corner and lightly in the outer crease (Mac's gold stroke pigment), and put the frosty white pigment (Mac's Frost pigment) on the browbone and in the inner corner of the eye. I also added a touch of black eyeshadow in the outer corner (I used Stila's). I used the pigments with a mixing medium though you don't need to. These particular pigments all have shimmer to them.

These pigments were included in the holiday pigment set, which is a great value. Individually they're about $20 and include a huge amountm but it's pricey for one color you probably won't use up, so I would recommend getting the holiday sets (I think somewhere in the 40s for 5) or getting samples because you won't have to use much anyway.The powders are very, well, pigmented. I love Frost because you can use it as a lid color, a browbone highlight color, a cheek bone highlight color, or on top of other shadows to give them a little glimmer.

♥ Finish the eye with some mascara (I used L'oreal Telescopic), any black liquid liner on the top lash line, and any black pencil liner on the bottom lash line.

♥You can do anything you want with the lipcolor. For a glammed up look, try bright red lips.

Makeup Look: Sparkling Silver Eyes/Pink Lips







♥ After using my eyeshadow base I applied a silver eyeshadow (NYX's platinum silver) on the whole lid.


♥Next, I added a darker silver color in the crease (NYX's midnight) and a pearly white highlight color on the brow bone (NYX's white pearl)


♥Then for the glitter I wet my eyeshadow brush with Mac's mixing medium (or a mixture of water and glycerine), dipped it into my loose silver glitter (NYX's), and applied it heavily all over the lid.

♥After that I applied black liquid liner to my top lash line (Maybelline's), black pencil liner on my water line (Urban Decay 24/7 liner in zero), and mascara (L'oreal's Double Extend Beauty Tubes.)


♥ I did my face afterwards so that I could wipe away any excess glitter that got on my face. I applied make up forever cream concealer under my eyes, Revlon colorstay liquid foundation on my skin, and Bare Escentuals bare minerals over that where I needed a little more coverage. I used Nar's orgasm blush under my cheek bones and my white pearl eyeshadow above that to highlight my cheek bones.

♥Finally, I used a bright pink lipstick (Mac's Strayin' from the Hello Kitty collection) topped with a clear gloss (NYX's clear).


You can use any products you have. Below is what I used.
