Manly pink-purple look

Tuesday 5 October 2010

After my last blog post, using the Manly 120 palette on my inlaws, I decided to try the pinks and purples of the palette on my own eyes, seeing as they're my favourite colours!

For this look I used:

> Elf mineral primer
> Manly 120 palette (pinks & purples & white for brow bone)
> UD 24/7 eyeliner in "zero"
> MAC rapidblack penultimate eyeliner
> Eyelash curlers
> Dior iconic mascara
> MAC select moisturecover (concealer) in NC35
> Illamasqua blusher in "hussy"
> Sleek pout polish in "pink cadillac"

I started with the light pinks using the MO shading brush in the inner corner of the eye, followed by a light purple on the middle of the eyelid, to the outer corner. For the brow bone I used the light pink again, along with the white (in the top left corner of the palette). I then used a dark purple with the MO blending brush for the crease, blending upwards and also using along the bottom of the eye. I kept blending until the colours became a gradient, with a smooth appearance. Compared to Urban Decay colours, I must say that these seemed less pigmented/vibrant than I'm used to; I found myself adding more pink as it felt too light.
I lined the eye with UD Zero eyeliner, and MAC penultimate liner. The MAC liner seemed a bit tricky for me, making my eyeliner look a bit juddery, possibly because the tip is very very thin.. Then again, it was my first time using this liner so I hope to improve!
After using MAC select moisturecover (which I LOVE btw!), I curled my lashes & added two coats of Dior Iconic mascara.



For the rest of the face, I used Illamasqua Hussy blush using my Elf angled brush, on the apples of my cheeks.


I then chose a different colour pink for the lips: Sleek Pink Cadillac pout polish.

  5. OMG you're right!
    Apart from my old camera, I think that since it's a tinted balm it changes depending on your natural pigmentation underneath.
    Btw you are amazingly beautiful!

    and yes i doo (u must have spotted the badly airbrushed hijab on a couple pics no?!)

    @lydia, ooh that's interesting, maybe its coz my lips are naturally a bit darker, so the pink cadillac doesn't show up as much.. raspberry souffle does though!
