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!!!!

  

Pictorial: Stila Countless Color Pink and Purple Pigment Cut Crease Look!

Hello Angels,

As promised, a tutorial using my new favorite Stila Countless Color Pigments shade "Indie".
Here is the completed look:

For this eyeshadow look and face I used the items pictured here:

Face:
Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation in Soft Sable
MAC Mineralize skinfinish in Blonde
MAC Blush in Peony Petal

Eyes:
MAC paint pot in Groundwork
Stila Countless Color Pigment in Indie
Lancome color passport in Jet Set Shimmer
Wet 'n Wild gel eyeliner in Black
NYX eyeshadow in Blondie

Lips:
MAC lipstick in Creme de la Femme
MAC dazzleglass in Roman Holiday

Here is the final look:

So...  Here are the steps:

Start with Groundwork as a base applied evenly over entire lid:

Now we creat the cut crease by tracing black gel liner from outer eye corner across 3/4 of the lid, a couple of millimeters above your natural crease (where this is is slightly different for everyone).  Gently smudge this line upwards as pictured here:   

Next step is blending the dark purple eyeshadow into your freshly cut crease and upward towards the brow bone.  Follow this by applying the NYX Blondie into the inner corner of the mobile lid: 

Now you're ready to apply the Stila pigment!  

Look closely at the shadow and you'll see that there is a lighter pink and a darker more fuschia pink.  

Start with the lighter pink, blending from the inner 1/3 of the lid (where the yellow leaves off) towards the center of the lid.  Then transition to the darker pink from the center of the lid to the outer corner.  

I used the light pink in the upper righthand corner of the Lancome palette for my highlight/browbone.

Now you blend blend blend!  

It's now time to apply eyeliner....

Using an eyeliner brush and the Wet 'n Wild gel, start from the inner corner of your lid and create an extension or "wing" just past the outer corner.  For the lower eyelid, I used MAC Feline kohl for the waterline as well as heavily into the bottom lashes and smudged a little bit to add drama.  

Follow this with mascara of your choice (I'm currently in love with anything by Benefit Cosmetics).

Please feel free to comment with any questions!

Happy Painting!!!

Dark corners smokey eyeshadow look! Pictorial/Tutorial!

Hello Angels!

I'm back with another different smokey eyeshadow and coral lip look that is very wearable during the day and can carry right into night.  It's easy to create and I've outlined the products used and steps below with lots of pics.
The Look:












I used the products pictured below.
Eyes:  MAC paint pot in groundwork, MAC pigment in Tan, MAC pro longwear eyeshadow in legendary black, MAC eyeshadow in Arena, MAC black kohl eyeliner in Feline, Benefit They're Real mascara.
Lips:  Beet lip liner (thick line), Vegas Volt lipstick

Groundwork as the base, all over the mobile lid to just above the crease

Feline pencil in the inner and outer corners of the eye, blend in to soften the effect towards middle of the eye

Legendary Black eyeshadow in the inner and outer corners of the eye over the feline pencil.  Blend well to really soften the edges of the Feline pencil towards the middle of the eye, making sure the color doesn't stray far above the eyelid crease.

Using a SMALL amount of Tan pigment (only need a crumb or two!!), apply to the center of the eyelid from lash line straight up to the brow bone at the highest point of your arch.  On the lid, blend this pigment outwards towards the dark corners.  In the brow highlight, dip your brush into Arena shadow and use this to blend blend blend the Tan pigment across the brow highlight area.  

  Now take a clean shadow brush and blend blend blend!!  Make sure you have no harsh color lines.  You want each of the colors to flow into each other seamlessly.
Next, add black eyeliner to the lower eyelid and smudge into the lower lash line.  Follow with black eyeliner to upper eyelid and at least two coats of mascara to upper and lower lashes.

Finito!  You are ready to serrrrrve.... Face that is!

HAPPY PAINTING!!!
