'Red Hot' Look
So the first thing I have to say is that red and orange eyeshadows do not photograph very well at all. For shame! Plus red is such a difficult color to pull off in eyeshadow...but you know I had to try.
Eyes:
PRIME:
I started off with Urban Decay Primer Potion all over my lid up to the brow bone. I also applied MAC Layin' Low Paintpot (matte creamy beige) all over my lid up to my brow bone as my primary base.
COLOR:
On the tear duct I applied MAC Blanc Type Eyeshadow (matte ivory).
Then on the inner lid I applied MUFE #920 Yellow Gold Star Powder.
Next on the middle of the lid, I applied MUFE #952 Iridescent Orange Star Powder.
On the outer lid and crease I applied MUFE #949 Iridescent Red Star Powder.
For the blending I used Smashbox Nude Eyeshadow (matte nude).
For highlight I used MAC Ricepaper Eyeshadow (shimmery champagne).
BROWS:
My brows are filled in with MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Stud.
DEFINE:
I lined my upper lashline with Stila Stay All Day Eyeliner in Black. I lined my lower waterline with Loreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black.
I used MUFE #21 Aqua Cream (vibrant turquoise) topped with MUFE #960 Turquoise Star Powder for my lower lashline.
I used MAC Opulash Mascara for my lashes and added Beautee Senses Princess Eyelashes for effect.
Lips:
POLISH:
OCC Melange Lip Tar and Inglot #543 Lip Gloss.
Face:
FINISH:
I used NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Tahoe with MUFE Full Cover Concealer in #12 under my eyes. I set with MAC Blot Powder in Dark.
I used MAC Ripe Blush Ombre for my cheeks.
PRETTY!!! I have all of those star powders, except the yellow, and I never use them! I think I'm going to have to dust them off :-)
ReplyDeleteThis came out so nice! U have melange. I purchased it at TMS. I haven't used it yet.
ReplyDeleteI gave you a blog award: http://makeupbykim-porter.com/2010/05/blog-award/
Wow! This is beautiful, you make me want to pick up some bright colours and play with.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I think the colors photographed wonderfully. And you wear red so well, I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteI passed on Melange at the Makeup Show, and you're making me regret that. I may need to do an OCC order soon.
Thanx so much guys!
ReplyDeleteHey J! Dust those bad boys off. I have a few of the Star Powders but I never bothered to use them...but now I'm going to have to put them into rotation.
Thx so much Kim! Melange is such a great coral nude. I apply my lip tars over lip balm for better results. I need to update my review a little bit.
Arezu! You know I love my brights! Plus summer is coming up!
Thx Amy! The colors look different in person but what to do. Red is such a weird color to work with...plus fall out equals disaster. There's an OCC distributor in NY you know. Check them out.
I love it! The colors are so pretty and your blending is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny I was thinking a couple weeks ago that I have never seen you work with red (I notice because my favorite color is red). I figured it was probably not that easy to work with, but you did a fantastic job! It looks very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteSUPER, is very hot this look, and you are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't, I can't, you are the BOMB, this is soooooooooo wonderful, Do I hear a tutorial, LOL
ReplyDeleteHello Tina!
