Pink Shimmer for NYE 2010

I love pink because it is the epitome of femininity, and if you peeped the shoes I bought for NYE, then you'd understand why I was inspired to do this look!

Step #1: After priming the lids with Too Faced Shadow Insurance, I applied Milk by NYX all over.


Step #2: With an allover shadow brush, I applied the light pink (see color at left below) color in my Rose Tints palette by Maybelline to my lower lid:

Step #3: To glam it up, I pulled out my body glitter stack by Icing, and with the Liner Sealer by Elf, applied some of the white glitter with pink flecks on top of the light rose:



Step #4: Next, I applied C-159 Blossom by Prestige to my crease with a crease brush:


Step #5: To define the outer V, I applied Eggplant (the deep purple shade below) with an angled crease brush:

To make the outer V look less harsh, I went back in with my crease brush and blended some more of the C-159 Blossom by Prestige with the Eggplant.

Step #6: For the highlight, I applied the matte pink shade in my Smashbox trio palette:


Step #7: To finish the eyes, I added black liner to the upper and lower lids, then added falsies in #507:

And this was the result:





Now, to finish the look, I applied:

• Pur Mineral 4-in-1 powder foundation in Deeper
• Blot powder in dark by MAC
• Loverush powder blush by MAC on cheeks
• Plaza Punch lipgloss by NYC to lips, followed by a lighter, shimmery pink gloss (generic brand)

Normally I apply my golden bronzer by Icing to the area right above my cheekbones as a highlight, but after reading the latest issue of Essence magazine, I decided to follow the advice of famed makeup artist, Sam Fine, and add a concealer that is a few shades lighter than my skin tone instead:

Liquid concealer by Marky Kay in Bronze 1

Last but not least, I did a little countouring on the bridge of my nose with a dark brown eye shadow:

And this was the finished look:




Smooches!
