White silver and purple

Here is a makeup look I did a couple months back but just didn't have the time to post it. 
It's a good look for those who would like some noticeable eye makeup without looking too dramatic or old. You can pair this eye-look with a light pink gloss to make it look even more youthful.  





EYE:
EYES
1. Prime lids.
2. Apply nyx jumbo pencil in milk all over the lid.
3. Generously apply Mary Kay Eye Shadow in Crystalline all over the lids and on the brow bone as a highlight
4. Apply a light pink to the outer crease and blend up.
5. Apply a dark purple color to the inner crease with a pencil brush, and then blend up.
6. Go back and apply Crystalline Eye Shadow on the inner and middle lid, and softly blend it towards the outer lid and crease too soften the color.
7. Apply a think coat of liquid liner in black.
8. Add black liner to the upper and lower waterline.
9. Curl lashes and add mascara

CHEEKS
1. Use any berry-pink toned blush. Blend from the apple of the cheeks and out.
2. Add a cream colored, shimmery highlight to your cheeks. (You could use the Mary Kay Crystalline eye shadow as a highlight  as well)

LIPS
1. For dramatic look go for a deep berry color, such as romance from LA GIRL
2. For a light youthful look go for a sheer berry pink lip gloss. I used Gosh lip pencil in Wild Cherry, accompanied with Revlon Pink Pout lipstick to lighten the shade, and a gloss over top.

(*** OLD Formula of Revlon Matte Lipsticks do NOT have Carmine, but New formula has carmine listed as a "maybe" ingredient***)

Pink/Purple with shimmer liner

Sometimes I go through days when I just like to put on makeup simply because I love makeup. On these days I'll have heavy makeup on random hours in the night, and odd hours in the day. This makeup look was done on one of these days.

It's incorporate lots of pretty pink and purple tones, and also shows you how to make use of your loose glitter as a liner.



EYES
1. Place primer all over the eye lids and brow bone.
2. Place shimmery cream color all over lids, and on brow bone. I used Mary Kay Crystalline
3. Take a dark pink color and place on outer crease and blend from the outer part of the eye to the inner.
4. Add a dark purple color to the inner crease and blend in.
5. Use a small amount of dark black shadow on outer v. Concentrate on this area only.
6. Go in with a lighter pink to blend any harsh lines caused by the dark colors.
7. Take a light blue eyeshadow or liner and line your lower lash line from the outer lash line to the center. 
8. Take some loose silver glitter and mix it with Pari Transforming Eye Gel. This gel can turn any loose shadow or glitter into a liner. Now take a liner brush and line the glitter on the top lash line.
9. Line with a black liquid liner. I used Urban Decay 24/7 liquid liner.
10. Use Mascara if needed.

CHEEKS
1. Use a light berry color on the cheeks. I used Revlon Blushing Berry.
2. Highlight cheeks. I used Nars Albatross

LIPS
1. Gosh lip liner in Wild Cherry all over the lips. (lightly)
2. Clear lip gloss (optional)



Gold/Olive Eye Makeup

Here is a look I created a month ago. It's a little arabesque with the double winged liner, but real Arabic makeup would generally be more dramatic than this: with heavy black liner on both top and bottom lash line.

You can always play this look up and make it look more Arab if you want, but if you like your makeup light than this look alone may be too much.

Enjoy!





To get the look:
EYES
1. Place an Antique Gold color all over the inner and middle lid. The gold I used is from L.A Colors Shimmering Loose Pigment in Sunshine.
2. Place a shimmery olive color all over the outer lid, and blend into the gold. The color I used was Sumptuous Olive from MAC.
3. Add a dark brown color to the outer v and blend into the outer crease and the olive shadow.
4. Use the same olive color on the outer crease and blend into the dark brown.
5. Use any matte light cream shadow as a highlight color.
6. Use black gel liner on the top lid and wing out.
7. Use same gel liner on the bottom lid. Begin at the outer corner and wing out. Fill in the water line. (To make your eye makeup more arabesque you want to make the liner heavier under the lower lashes)

CHEEKS
1. Contour with Hoola Bronzer
2. Add Nyx Terra Cotta to the apples of the cheeks

LIPS
1. NYX lip liner in chocolate
2. Shell Lipstick from Mary Kay.

Ocean Eyes


FYI, I post pictures of the eye shadows used in my tutorials, not to tempt you to buy them, but to make it easier for you to find eye shadow duplicates that you may already have, or are easily available where you live. Please don't feel like you have to have all the same products to get the look. You can definitely buy these same colors elsewhere, maybe even for a better price :).

Purple and Cream

  This is a really pretty purple and cream colored look. It's something for the girls out there that would like something a little more dramatic then a neutral look, but more subdued than a smokey eye. The best picture that describes the look is the one on the top. The rest of the photos came out too dark but I decided to include them anyways cause they showed the eye-look in different angles.




EYES
  1. Place Mary Kay color crystalline on the whole lid.
  2. Take a card, or a piece of tape and angle it on the side of your eyes, moving out. 
  3. Place Mac Shock-a-holic on the outer V and spread it up towards the outer lid and outer crease. Blend it into the Mary Kay eyeshadow.
  4. Take the color Sumptuous Olive by Mac and place it where the cream and purple eyeshadow meet. Use this color to further blend the purple and cream together. 
  5. Line with Mac Blacktrack Fluidline 
  6. Curl Lashes and put on some Mascara. I'm using Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara. 

FACE
  1.  Hard Candy face primer
  2.  Revlon Photo-Ready Foundation in Medium
  3.  Nars Concealer in Ginger 
  4.  Revlon Golden Affair, Berry Daring Blush
LIPS
  1. GOSH Velvet Touch Lip Pencil in Wild Cherry
  2. L.A colors lipstick in Romance
