I was thinking I'd do a nice soft monochromatic look (because I'd always wanted to do one but was too scared to use any color but pink and I VERY rarely wear pink on my eyes). But somewhere along the way my artsy side took over and it turned from a soft look into this
And then I played around in Picnik a little bit, playing with lighting and softening, and came up with this
I know it's a little bright but I actually really like it! It would have been better with some awesome lashes though. Of course, I felt crazy when my neighbors looked at me when I was taking my garbage out but hey, it's in the name of makeup!!! I think you can see a bit of the original inspiration in there... maybe? Haha. I really had fun doing this to myself, trying to figure out what to use to contour my cheeks with a pink and make them really bright like my eyes (MAC "Pink Friday" applied with a stippling brush was a brilliant idea, if I do say so myself).
Haha, I can already hear my sister, "I don't really like that one..." haha. She doesn't like the crazy stuff like I do! Do you guys ever just go with the flow and end up looking like a nut??? If you do, you should show me and let me know I'm not alone!!!
Its very editorial!
ReplyDeleteThis is super artistic, love the b&w pic with the pink only!
ReplyDeleteSO pretty & I was looking at your caboodle and I have the same one and I know what you mean about the makeup not coming off. I recently found the one thing that WILL work is ponds cold cream. I use it to take off my makeup and found it actually works on the outside of the case! If you have some give it a try =]
ReplyDeleteHot-hot-hot pink!!! Impressive!!! I am so bad with soft looks, I always feel naked. I love it, hopefully this wont be the last time we see you in pinks!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! What pinks did you use? I play around in my makeup ALOT and have come up with some craziness but before I can clean it off, I always end up have to run to the store. You should see the looks I get...hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI love this look!! Its beautiful! Can you list the products you used? Or even better-make a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the last pic....that should be hanging on a wall! I think this look is beautiful! It's really a sexy look! I love how you played around with the lighting...I love to do that! I really like the black and white with only the pink, that is so cool. And trust me, you are not alone...lol
ReplyDeleteI think pink looks good on you! You could totally make this wearable for a night out with some dramatic lashes and using bronzer instead of pink blush on the cheeks... great look!
ReplyDeleteThe neighbors don't know ish! I think its looks like something you would see in an ad or rocked on the run way. Its not a look you would wear to the grocery store, well some might :) I think it looks good!

This is gorgeous! Who said inspiration had to be soft? I love this. Oh, and you are definitely not alone. A lot of my looks turn out a little wild and bold.
ReplyDelete@Liz: thank you!
ReplyDelete@Gotham Polish: thank you! I like that picture too, it was kinda fun to edit it
@DreamingCrush41: I don't have any but maybe I'll have to get some and make my case look clean!
@Amalia: Thank you! I'm not sure how often I'll wear pink on my eyes but I'm sure this won't be the last time
@Meme: oh man, what pinks didn't I use haha? I used primarily the pinks (and a purple and navy blue) from my 88 palette, NYX "Hot Pink", "Soft Pink", and "Cherry" and I used Inglot 352M and 382M (which was the one matte color on my maybe buy list from Inglot because it wasn't red like I thought but that really worked out here). I also used NYX "Sky Pink" and "Very Pink" ultra pearl manias.
@Jasmine: maybe I'll make a tutorial some day.
@Dani: thank you so much! It's the first time I've ever really played in Picnik, it was fun! And your last sentence made me laugh.
@Samantha: I agree, I think it could be made wearable (which is good). I appreciate it!
@Foxy Aries: What a great compliment! Thank you!
@Toshia: Thank you! Haha I guess it's just because it wasn't what I had started off thinking I was going to do. I'd love to see some of your "playing in makeup" bold looks!
