LOOK: Smoky Midnight Blue Eyes and Pale Pink lips

A few friends and I went to Metal Mania at The House of Blues last night here in L.A. My friend gave us free tickets because his friend was going to play in a band. Now, I don't listen to Metal. I don't really understand that type of music because it's nothing but noise to me lol. But I couldn't turn down a free ticket because I've never been to The House of Blues, and I guess I should be more open to other type of music right? Well, I only lasted 2 hours inside lol. The bands were extremely good for what they do...All that head bangin' up and down, screaming and more screaming and awesome guitar and drum skills. They were really, really good and I meant it. But I couldn't stand it. It was just too loud for me and it even made my head hurt really bad O_o. Oh well, I tried.

Here is the makeup look I wore. I did a Smoky Midnight Blue eyes and Pale Pink lips. It was a night time event, so I went for a dramatic makeup. The main eye shadow I used on my lids is NYX single eye shadow in Frosted Ocean. It's one of my favorite eye shadows from NYX. See another makeup look using this shadow here. It's a rich midnight blue with lots of shimmers. I love it. Just make sure you apply it before your face makeup because you will get tons of fall outs. For my cheeks I dusted Nars blush in Orgasm, a gorgeous peachy pink with gold shimmers that pretty much goes with anything. If you don't have it, then you can use other dupes like Mark Good Glowing blush in After Glo (buy it here) or Wet n Wild Color Icon blusher in Pearlescent Pink (Swatch here). Then to compliment the dark, dramatic eyes, I kept my lips light (you don't want dark lips and dark eye makeup) and went for a pale pink. Wet n Wild Mega Last lip color in Think Pink, a matte pale pink was the perfect choice.

-Shimmery white on the inner corner and 1/3 of the inner lid and lower lash line. It will open up the eyes and add dimension to the eye makeup.

-Shimmery midnight blue eye shadoq all over the lids and lower lash line.

-A little bit of matte black eye shadow on the outer corner to add a bit of definition.

-Matte white shadow on the brow bone as a high light.

Wet n Wild ColorIcon Mermaid Inspired Eye Makeup

The first thing I did when I got home from work was play with my new Wet n Wild ColorIcon palette in Pride. Pride consist of some gorgeous matte and shimmery blues, greens and whites. They are all surprisingly pigmented, smooth and very easy to blend. I can't believe I only paid $4.99 for this palette...pure craziness!

There are so many looks I can do with this palette, but I ended up creating a smoky/shimmery blue and green eyes that reminds me of a mermaid. I love the shimmers in these shadows. They show up really well on the eye lids.

The colors may appear washed out on photos because of the flash of the camera. But in person, they're so bright and vibrant.

GET THE LOOK

I used the Wet n' Wild ColorIcon palette in Pride. 

eyes:

-Prime your eyes with NYX shadow base in skin tone. This will prevent the shadows from creasing
-Apply the shimmery green on the crease and 1/3 of the lower lash line.
-Apply shimmery blue all over the lids and the rest of the lower lash line.
- Use a blending brush and blend between the blue and green until you see a smooth transition between the two colors
- Apply the shimmery white in the inner corners using a pencil brush to give the eyes a brighter look.
-Highlight the brow bone with the matte white shadow.
-Line the eyes with Stila Smudge Pot in black, curl your lashes and apply kkcenterhk false lashes in A103 for a dramatic effect. Click HERE to see more looks using these lashes.


 For the false lashes, I used ES in A103. This was sent to me for free to try out. I've used it on previous makeup looks, and I really  love it. It was easy to use and very affordable. Get yours on http://www.kkcenterhk.com/. 

cheeks: 

-Apply Wet n' Wild Coloricon blusher in Pearlescent Pink (a peachy pink shade) under the cheek bones to contour the face.

lips:

-Apply EOS lip balm in Summer Fruit and let it soak into the lips.
-Finish off the look with Revlon Colorburts lipstick in Peach. Peach lips matches so well with the green and blue eyes. 

I'm really happy with this palette and I'm going to do more looks to show you how awesome it is.

LOOK: Midnight Blue and Gold Holiday makeup

 It's all about shimmers, glitters and everything fun this Holiday season! I will be doing a series of Holiday makeup using fun and festive colors. This Midnight Blue and Gold makeup look will be my first one. It was requested by one my viewers on youtube. She requested a look that wasn't too Christmas-y but still pretty and festive enough to be worn on any Holiday event. I did a shimmery dark blue with gold on the inner corners of the eyes which gives a nice highlight with  peach cheeks and nude lips. It's dramatic, pretty and perfect for any night time occasion. I hope you guys like it!

LOOK: Blue Rose Makeup

I came across this random photo of a beautiful blue rose on Google and, I was instantly inspired to do a makeup look using the vibrant blue colors on my eyes. I stood a good minute looking at it. It's just so beautiful. So I decided to do blue eye shadow on the eyes with a pop of purple on the inner 1/3 of the lid paired with a peach lip color.I hope you like it.

LOOK: It's Britney...B*tch!

I don't care what people say. I love Britney Spears ^_^. Yeah she had her crazy and gross moments in the past but overall she's awesome. I like her because of her dancing and her makeup. I'm really not a big fan of her singing voice but I do like a lot of her songs lol. I just contradicted myself but believe me, I do like her lol. Her song Lucky is one of my guiltiest pleasure and after all these years,I still know the lyrics and all O_o.

I've been wanting to do a Britney Spears inspired makeup for the longest time and I finally did it. I was inspired by her I'm a Slave for You music video. It's one of my fav video from her. In the video, she had some dramatic light bluish and black eyes with some nude lips. Gosh, she looked so hot in that video.

The look is dramatic so I would sport this look in a party or any night time occasion. I hope you guys like it and please watch the makeup tutorial if you want to learn how I did the look.
