Party at Midnight!

Was bored so I did a new eye look today. You'll have to forgive me, I didn't do full face makeup. My family has been sick, so I've been busy taking care of everyone. But I still wanted to do a new eye look at least! It's a dark yet sparkly look. Would be great for going out at night, or if you're a bit daring (like myself) for a daytime look too! Here ya go:

I didn't even use a primer today (Bad bad bad..haha). I did start off by using Urban Decay's cream eyeshadow in Delinquent as a base. Over that, I applied Urban Decay's loose pigment in Rockstar. It's a purple pigment in a black base with lots of sparklies! It's a beautiful color and this is my first time using it! Anyway I applied Rockstar to my lower lid up to the crease. In the crease, I used a dark teal color from my Physician's formula Palette (bottom color). It didn't blend very nicely (should have used a primer!!) but I got the general gyst of the look! I then applied a white matte for my highlight under my brow. I used Maybelline's gel liner in black to line my lower waterline and under my lash line. To finish the look off I used some black mascara from NYC.

I didn't do anything to my face except a primer to even out my skin a bit, and filled in my brows. On my lips I just used a lip gloss from L.A. Colors.

I have a bright colorful look today! I've been wanting something fun and funky to wear before summer comes to an end. I may be brave and attempt to wear this look tomorrow to work. I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow..lol. But in the mean time, here are some pics followed by a description and a list of everything I used.

I started off with Elf's Eyelid primer. I applied that to my lid and all the way over my eyebrows (helps the powder stay on longer when I fill in my brows). I then started on my lid colors. I grabbed the lightest green shimmer on my Physician's Formula Palette (Pop Green eyes). and applied it to the inner 3rd of my eyelid. I then grabbed my pink eyeshadow from the Island Sunset Duo from NYC and placed it on the middle third of my eyelid. On the Outer 3rd of my eyelid, I used Urban Decay's Electric matte eyeshadow. I blended each color into the next and continued building to get the desired effect and brightness that I wanted. I then went to work on my crease color. I grabbed a mix of the 2 purples in the Physician's formula palette. They aren't the greatest purples and they come off looking a bid dark and muddy on my eyes so I grabbed the lightest color at the top (a white with green duo chrome) and applied a tiny bit over the purple to tone it down a bit and it actually takes away from the muddiness a bit. Although  sadly, I wish I had a nice matte purple that wasn't crappy. All of my purples either look muddy (I think they're too red) or they aren't pigmented enough for my liking *boo*. But enough of the mini rant, I then grabbed the lightest color again and added it under my brow for a nice highlight. After that I grabbed a bit of the 3 original lid colors and placed them on my lower lash line, in the same order as they were on the lid, so green under green, pink under pink, and blue under blue. Finally I added some black eyeliner to my water line and some mascara to the lashes to complete my eye look.

Because I was being lazy yesterday, I only added a bit of translucent powder to my face, filled in my brows and threw on some lipstick and gloss to my lips. I didn't bother with foundation or blush at all.
