The snows coming down HARD, which means I have to wear my ass-kicking boots to work. Which, of course means I need some ass-kicking makeup to go with it right??
What I used:
-Hi Fi Pins & Needles- bright, pearly pink (very camera shy...much brighter in person!)
-Hi Fi Dirty Word Witchcraft- sheer black with color shifting iridescence-Allure by Jen Iced Peach- delightful mixture of peach, pink, and shimmer
-Stila Smudge Pot in black
-Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer
-Stila Covertible Color in Lillium- warm sheer rosy pink
-Hard Candy Painted Lady Lipstick in Fire Alarm- soft nude
Step 1: Prime eyes with normal primer...no "sticky base" needed here! I used UDPP (which I'm still allergic to...I thought maybe that would go away?)
Step 2: Use a nice big flat eyeshadow brush (I used one from Fyrinnae, but I think its close to Eco Tools) and gently pat a bright, vibrant, pearly (not glitter...its too much) pink onto lid. Go slightly above the crease and extend a bit past the end of eye. Let the color fall naturally onto the inner vee...don't want too much pink there! Repeat step if you want a brighter pink!
Step 3: Take a flufftastic crease brush (Eco Tools) and gently pat an oval shape on the outside corner of your eye. Then using the same brush, blend a sheer glitter black towards the inner part of your eye. I find concentrating the color on the end makes it look a lot better! Blend your little heart out. After all that blending, the black looks a little blah. Don't worry, we'll fix that soon!
Step 4: Use an eyeliner or lipliner blush with a black gel liner and create a thick cat eye shape. Now, everyone's eyes are different, so create whatever shape makes your eyes look best. I like a thick, upturned cateye to widen and elongate my small eyes!
Step 5: Grab that sheer black again and a small detail shadow brush. Lightly pat the color over the liner and smudge the lines. Since you are using a sheer black instead of a pigmented one, you get this cool rock bitch look. Also pat more color on top of the crease if desired!
Step 6: Curl those lashes, put on mascara, use a rosy (not pink) blush and a nude lip! All done!
Hope that was helpful! I love this sort of smoky eye for either day or night...the bright color on the lid (you can use apple green, bright yellow, really any color looks good like this!) makes it so its not too Hot Topic XD
I also did a super quick manicure! I used 2 coats of Wet N Wild Wild Shine in Ice Blue Pearl and Sally Girl Sparkle Effects in Blue Lagoon loose glitter gradiated from bottom to top. It looks WAY cooler in person, but a fun and quick mani for $2!
Well, I'm off to work during a bad snowstorm which means there won't be any customers AND I have to attempt to drive in a foot of snow at midnight! Wish me luck XD
