I can’t stop with the Pink. It’s everywhere to me! Funny thing is, I didn’t even use any Pink to create this. It just happened. I used to think that bright colors would be hard to work with, but I have been proving myself wrong. I will let you know though, I have been having some difficulties with Red eye shadow. I didn’t realize how hard that color could be to blend but today, I thought I would try a simple trick. A trick I could have tried all along but snoozed on. My trick was using Red liquid lipstick as the eye shadow!! I put about 5 dots in an outline just on my outer corners of my eye and blended it with a small brush. I then, topped the blended out lipstick with red eye shadow. SO EASY.
For this look, I used 5 different palettes, and a majority of them are BH Cosmetics. I use BH Cosmetics so much because they are affordable and such high quality. I have never come across a brand like BH Cosmetics because of how high end like their products are, and all of them work like magic with and without Fix+.
To finish off the look, I added 5 gems on both inner corner of my eyes to really make it pop. To place these on my eyes, I used NYX Glitter glue and really sharp ended tweezers. I will have to say that the NYX glue was not made to hold up heavy gems like these, and can be difficult to place. Once you have them on, I would advise not to touch them in any way or form and let the drying do its thing.
Here is a quick written tutorial for you to recreate –
- Place scotch tape along the side of your eyes where you want your cut crease to end.
- Place concealer on your eye lids and blend well.
- Take your white color eye base and pat down on your eyelids. Use two coats.
- Use any Red liquid lipstick (I chose a bright fire red), and place 5 dots like a side V on your outer crease to create your wing. A little goes a long way.
- Blend out with a small stiff brush, and tap into skin.
- Take a fluffy eye shadow brush into Red eye shadow and gently press into the Red lipstick. I took the Red from the Take Me Back to Brazil palette.
- Take a Purple/Red eye shadow shade and begin to blend inward. I took the shade right above the Red in the TMB2B palette.
- Next, take a true Purple and blend from the second shade inward. You want to make sure you blend these colors well to get a gradient look. I took the Purple from the Wild & Alluring palette.
- Take a light Purple and blend. This won’t take much color as you should be more towards the inner of your eyelid now. I took shade Flash from the Nocturnal palette.
- Find a frosty Purple and dab into your inner eyelid. Blend into the corners. I took the shade Cosmic from Galaxy Chic palette.
- Take a Purple highlight and dab into corners, on top of the frosty purple to really make it pop. I took the Illusion highlight from Blacklight Highlight palette. I also used this color to hightlight my face.
- This look only called for black eyeliner on the waterline!
- Take your previous Red and Purple to place the eyeshadows under your water line. Blend into the frosty Purple.
- Take 5 small gems and place them into a triangle form on the inner corner of your eyes.
- Use statement eyelashes for this look. Make it really come out.
- And you are done
Here are both eyes for you to see up close!
I hope you enjoyed this look as much as I did. Thank you friends!
As always my opinions are 100% truthful and honest, and I would want nothing else from anyone else! Stay beautiful and keep the highlight shine on!
