Luxe Look - 5/25/11

Time to break out your primer, pull out your bright eyeshadows, and put your paws up, because it's time for a Lady Gaga inspired tutorial!

As always, we'll start with a clean, moisturized face, and apply your foundation and/or concealer!

Let's work on the eyebrows! Fill in your eyebrows heavily and create an exaggerated shape. We want these to be bold and dark! Compare the filled in brow on the left to the natural one on the right

Now apply eyeshadow primer all over your top and bottom lids. Take a shimmering shadow close to your skin tone and sweep it all over your top lid, including up toward your brow bone.

Now this is the most time-consuming part, but fear not, for you can do it! Grab your slanted eyeliner brush and a black gel liner, and you're going to do a cat's eye. But it will be above your crease, and extended to the edge of your eye. Then glide the liner down until it reaches your lower lash line. Use this as your reference:

It helps to open your eyes and see if the line is still visible when your eyes are open. If not, just make light lines above your crease and close your eye, and fill in between. (This can be a difficult part, if you have any problems, leave me a comment and I'll help).

Once that's done, fill in the middle of your lip with a hot pink eyeshadow.

Next, fill in the outer corner of your lid with a nice purple shadow, and blend where it meets the pink.

Then apply a yellow eyeshadow on the inner corner of your lids, and sweep some on the inner corner of your bottom lid.

Lastly for the eyes, apply a few coats of mascara for your top lashes and one coat for the bottom. Now take a pink blush of your choice and sweep it along your cheekbones, blending well.

Lastly, the lips! Line your lips with a lipliner and exaggerate your lip line to be more angled. Then, with a lip brush, apply a pink lipstick within the lines you created, being careful not to go outside of it. Then apply the rest of your lipstick as your normally would. Blot with a tissue if needed, and apply a shiny gloss to the center of your lips.

And you're done! Add some accessories and take some photos, little monsters!
