Makeup Look Compilation

So this is just a compilation of random makeup looks that I have done from a year ago. I can't remember what I used exactly, but I can give you a rough idea of what was done. Hope you enjoy this fun post!:)

POISON IVY EYE MAKEUP
I don't celebrate Halloween, but I always find it extremely tempting to dress up in those costumes. I'm definitely too cheap to buy a Halloween Costume for one-time-use, but I decided I could at least do a makeup look for my "would-be" costume if I could dress up. I believe it was that year I had seen a photo of Kim Kardashian in a Poison Ivy costume, and immediately I thought of the eye look I would do on myself if I dressed up as Poison Ivy.


  


ELECTRIC EYE MAKEUP
I have no clue why I want to call this eye look electric. But for some reason the glitter just strikes me with the word 'electric'. So I guess this will be called the electric eye look until my brain comes up with something better. Here I added a red eye shadow to my outer crease, blue all over the lid, and blended the two colors together by adding a dark purple in the inner crease. I finished with lining my lash-line with silver glitter and black liner. 



PRETTY IN PINK
Here is very wearable look for those that don't like eye makeup that is too "loud". It's a very pretty pink look and can be worn by anyone! The method used here is to blend the pink eye shadows only on you outer and inner crease, adding darker pinks/purples to your inner crease for added depth. Keep the base of you eyelid simple with a light pastel pink color.

EDGEY IN COPPER 
Here I incorporated a copper-toned and metallic orange eye shadow in the outer crease. I also added definition with a dark coffee brown in the crease. The look is edgy, but versatile because you can go from a nude lip, to something more dark and vibrant without looking too over-the-top. 


PROFILE PHOTO
This is the same look that is on my profile photo. It's just a very light blue-grey, with a darker grey in the crease. I also added a beige eye shadow to the entire lid prior to adding the blue-grey eyes shadow. 



RANDOM COLOR, RANDOM DESIGN
Just a random design I decided to do for fun. I think the image shows exactly what colors were used, and the layout of them pretty well so I don't think I'll explain any details :). 




SILVER AND BLACK WITH A TIST
This is just a common eye color combination of silver on the entire lid, and black on the outer V. However I added some copper and gold to the upper crease to make the look more unique. 



SIMPLICITY IN GOLD 
South Asian clothing is usually accompanied with a bold, bright basic color, and some heavy gold or silver embroidery on top. This look is great for those who have a bright suit with gold embroidery, they can play up the lip with a loud color, and still get away with adding this eye color because of it's simplicity.


SILVER SMOKEY EYE
This is the incredibly common color combination of silver and black, joined together with the same shade, or varying brightness, and blended to avoid any harsh lines.


CUT-CREASE With Gold
This is a cut-crease look where instead of using a matte skin-toned eye shadow all over the lid. I chose to use gold all over the lid. I then added black to my crease, and blended the edges up with a soft rust color. 





 That's it for now!
Hope you enjoyed it :)
