Colour By Numbers
Bye August - Hello September!
This was fun to do and it's just so fun to use and wear colours. It's quite funny as within my make-up tower and drawers I've got so many colours but rarely reach for them, boo! So of course this look was inspired and born.
Deets on the Beat:
Using the yellow from my MakeUp Forever 12 Flash Palette as my base I applied onto my lower lid. Pat on a yellow, I chose MAC Cosmetics Pigment -Primary Yellow , pat it on to make it more vibrant. On a smaller brush apply it under the tear duct. From the inner corner up to the brows apply a pink, I used MAC Cosmetics Eyeshadow - Passionate and blend heavily onto the nose downwards, using the small brush from before, the other side I take the Passionate and apply just next to the Primary Yellow.Taking a blue, I love Stargazer Eye Dust #2 smudge it onto the lower lash line, start from where Passionate ends, blend the outer eye until it's faded. Taking the pink from GOSH Cosmetics 9 Shades - To Play with in Vegas* I went over the brow bone. Using Illamasqua Precision Gel Liner, I wing out my eye, line my waterline top & bottom.
The brows don't have to be truly defined, just bushy and bold, I brushed them upwards with a spoolie and ran GOSH Cosmetics Defining Brow Gel - Black* through them. Finish the eyes off using Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara*
80's make-up base was matte and powdery. I used Illamasqua Matte Primer and Eve Lom Radiance Lift Foundation for my skin base. I took Sleek MakeUP Blusher - Fernberry and ran it across my hairline and a sharp line under my cheek bone, blended it out before going over it with a pink blush (unknown blush in my drawer, sorry!)Dipping back into my MakeUp Forever 12 Flash Palette, I used the pink and gave myself a bright pink pout, any bright matte pink lipstick would do, MAC Candy Yum Yum is one recommendation.
To finish it off and to get quite a powdered appearance, I used VICHY Dermablend Loose Setting Powder under the eyes before finishing off completely all over with Ben Nye Translucent Neutral Powder.
