Colorful Makeup Look

Posted on June 29, 2011 | 7 Comments
I felt like coming up with this colorful vibrant look now that summer is here. The colors are very tropical -- it makes me want to go to Hawaii! :) The purple eye shadow I used is one of the prettiest purple shades I've come across -- Make Up For Ever "92". I also used a limited edition turquoise pigment -- MAC "Surf USA" eye shadow (from the MAC Surf, Baby! Collection that's in stores now) or any other bright turquoise eye shadow will work too! :) Read more...
Purple and Green Look

This look features one of my favorite green eye shadows from Inglot Cosmetics. I also used other Inglot colors -- two shades of purple on the outer V and crease and a light pink color for highlight.

This makeup look shows how you can easily add another color to transform the classic black smokey eye. I applied a purple color on the outer V and crease to frame the black on the lid. I also put some purple glitter along the lower lash line for fun. :) For the rest of my makeup, I stuck to contouring and highlighting (no blush) and wore a nude lip to keep the focus on my eyes.

For this look, I'm featuring the dark teal Mega Metal Shadow called "Odalisque" that I wrote about in my MAC Peacocky Collection review. I lined my lower water line with a similar colored eye pencil, and I added a touch of purple along the entire lash line for an extra punch of color. Read more...
