Luxe Look - 5/22/10

Time to do some makeup! We're going to go for a bold lip, with neutral eyes, inspired by neon and a mix of the 80's and today's fashions.


So start with a clean face! Once you've cleansed and moisturized, prep your face with foundation and/or concealer, and apply your favorite lip balm to moisturize.

So let's get started on your eyes! First, lightly fill in your brows with an eyebrow pencil

Now apply primer to your top and bottom lids, and swipe an eyeshadow that's a shade lighter then your skin all over your lid.

Now sweep a dark brown shadow on the outer corners of your top lids and extend it along your crease. You can also use whatever is left on your brush to sweep on the outer edge of your bottom lid. Be sure to blend well.

Now apply the same eyeshadow directly about your crease and blend halfway up toward your browbone.

Now highlight under your browbone and the inner corners of your eye, and blend it out.

Now apply a black pencil eyeliner along your top lid, keep it close to the lashline.

Now finish off with your favorite mascara.

Now that we've finished the eyes, swipe a mauve blush upwards along your cheekbones.

Now wipe any excess lip balm from your lips, so we have a nice, dry canvas.

Using a lip liner in your skin tone, line the natural shape of your lips and lightly fill in your lips, rubbing it in to ensure your lips are covered.

Now grab a hot pink lipstick, no time to get cold feet now; get your LOUDEST pink you have!

Ooh, too loud. Now press your lips on a piece of tissue. This is optional, but while your lips are stuck to the tissue, you can brush some translucent powder on to soak up the oil and prevent your lipstick from smearing.

Also optional, apply your favorite gloss to give your lips some shine!

Now the look is complete! Here it is altogether:

Now pose and take lovely pictures (and share them with me)!
