Fuschia Lips and Smokey Eyes

I manged to build up some points at MyPoints. So I was sent a Target gift card and decided to buy some make-up.

I am wearing  Revlon Colorburst in Fuschia,

L'oreal eyeshadows in Pearl and Lush Raven. 

MAC blush in Her Blooming Cheek.

First, I picked up the ELF Eyebrow kit. This one was the darkest one available and I worried it would be a little light for me. But it looks natural and gives my brows a soft look. Then I bought two L'oreal eyeshadows in Lush Raven and Seashell. The Lush Raven wears more like a soft gray and the Seashell is a good highlighter.

I also picked up two Revlon Colorburst lipsticks in Rosy Nude and Fuchsia.  Fuchia lipstick in general is very wearable on many skin shades! Then there's my favorite HiP eyeshadow in Charged.

Lastly, I decided to try out the Jemma Kidd shadow in Dramatic (blue) since it was only 3 dollars down from 16. It is very pigmented.

I'll Just Wing It

I have been obsessed with liquid liner since high school. I don't mind kohl pencils but with liquid it stays on all day and it's very black. I bought Bobbi Brown's Gel liner but I haven't tried it yet. I have been using L'oreal Linear Intense on the recommendation of other bloggers and it rocks. I have both the felt tip end and the brush end. I like them both but the felt tip version makes application super easy.

Here are some tips on creating that perfect winged look...
Start in the middle of the eyelid and create a line that extends to the outer corner
Go back to the inner corner and fill in the rest of the line.
For the winged part, create a triangle at the outer corner, fill it in completely and then connect it to the line with small strokes.

Ruffle My Feathers

I bought these feather earrings at Target. 

And they inspired me to create a fun eye make-up look to match.

Pink and black! Two of my favorite colors.

The make-up I used:

ELF eyeshadow quad

L'oreal HIP Duo in Smokey

Revlon Colorstay black liquid liner

Maybelline lipstick in Far Out Fuschia

How to recreate:

Place a piece of tape on the outer corner of eye (at an angle) 

1. Apply eyeshadow primer to lid
2. Apply black eyeshadow to lid and extend outward over the tape (the same way as you would create a winged liner look except with eyeshadow)
3. Then add pink shadow starting from the inside corner of eye and extend above the black eyeshadow and blend
4. Line eye with liquid liner
5. Remove the tape! 

(I forget to show the mascara...I used Maybelline Great Lash BIG)
