Sugar Pill/MAC Blue-green eyeshadow look pictorial/tutorial!!

Hello Angels,

Here's a look I did the other day when the weather finally cooled off!  You may have seen it on our instagram page (follow @drpurple81 for daily makeup, fashion and more!) and as promised here is the how-to step by step guide...

You like??  It's even more vivid in natural light.  Here's the makeup that you will need to complete this look:
Eyes:
Mac Prep + Prime eye in your shade
NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk
Sugarpill eyeshadow in Acidberry
MAC eyeshadow in Surf USA
Makeup Forever matte eyeshadow #60
MAC Chromographic pencil in High Def Cyan
MAC Eye Kohl eyeliner in Minted

Lips:
Nars Lip liner in Kenya
MAC lipstick in Peachstock

Cheeks:
MAC skinfinish in stereo rose
NARS blush in Torrid

(some pictured below)

 

 

 And now for the steps...

1.  Apply the MAC eyeshadow base all over from lash line to browbone

2.  Apply NYX shadow pencil in Milk, starting with the inner corner of the eyelid. Blend outwards with a concealer brush to a nice even finish.

3.  Apply Acidberry eyeshadow on the inner corner and blend outward towards the outer 1/3 of the eyelid.  

4.  Apply Surf's up to the outer 1/3 of the lid, from the first lid crease towards the bottom of the brow bone.

5.  Apply MUFE eyeshadow #60 in the outer corner "v" and blend towards the middle.

6.  Finally you're ready to apply a light matte color to your highlight or brow bone area.  I am obsessed with MAC Bamboo for this purpose.  As long as it's matte it will suffice.  

7.  Next comes your colored eyeliners.  These should coordinate with your eyeshadow colors.  First Minted from inner eye corner to halfway point of the lower eyelid:  

Then apply High Def Cyan from the midine to the outer corner:

8.  Now you're ready for black eyeliner.  I use a liquid eyeliner made by L'Oreal-- Infallible in black.  It's an awesome felt tip eyeliner that is smooth and great for looks like this where you want a thick, dark and maybe winged line.  Also apply black kohl liner to your waterline or tightline.    

9.  Last step is mascara, my fave.  I use Benefit They're Real to get length and volume out of every lash.  You've heard me talk about his mascara ad nauseum by now ;).

Hopefully yours looks a lot like this in daylight:

HAPPY PAINTING!!!!

  

Fun makeup look for summer!

Hello Angels!  

On super hot summer days like this I usually prefer to skip the heavy coverage and add a pop of color on the eyes: Mac studio tint tinted moisturizer, and an array of peaches for cheeks and lips!Keep the eyes melt-free-- paint pot in constructivist and pearlglide intense liner in petrol blue, smudged into the lower lash line and hard crease.  Stay cool!

Summer color fun tutorial!

Hello Angels!

I was getting dressed on this steamy "spring" day and decided to do minimal makeup (beauty balm) and add a pop of color somewhere to draw the away from my minimalist look.  My choice?  Aqua for the eyes.  This look is fun but tame enough for even the workplace.  I finished the look with MAC lush amber lipstick to keep all the attention on my peepers!

To replicate this look:

MAC Constructivist paint pot as a base.

MAC eyeshadow in Lie Low from lash line to just above lid crease. 

MAC eyeshadow in Arena in highlight.

MAC chromographic pencil in High Def Cyan along the lower lash line

MAC kohl eyeliner in Feline along waterline.

MAC eyeshadow in Electric Eel in the outer crease, blended towards the middle lid.
