Yesterday, spokesbeauty Kelly Rowland made an appearance at the Sean John "Empress" fragrance preview (which Jessica, Claire and CeCe got to attend). I did not realize how much I had grown to anticipate Rowland's makeup looks until recently. Since gold and purple were my high school (RIP Wuerzburg American High School) colors, this is the type of makeup look I would've done right before the homecoming game as it's flirty, sexy and cute --- all at the same time. Achieve the look with the following products:
[eyes] Groom the brows with Make-Up Designory (MUD) Brow Fix, a non-flaking gel formula that keeps brows groomed and gorgeous all in one swipe. Squeezable and petite, you can conveniently achieve sleek, precise brows on the go.
Prep the lids with Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue Glitter Bonding Eye Shadow Primer. This primer really does work! I tried it out recently and I was amazed at how well it worked to keep the glitter and shimmer in my eyeshadows on my lids instead on my cheekbones. It's colorless, creamy and blending eyeshadows is a dream. I love!
Pack NARS Eyeshadow in Night Sun on the lids, from the inner corner to the middle of your eyelid. Take NARS Eyeshadow in Party Monster and apply from the middle of the lid to the outer corners.
Line upper and lower lash lines with CoverGirl LiquilineBlast Eyeliner in Black Fire. Smudge the lower lash line with Party Monster as well.
Apply Smoke and Mirrors Beauty Hollywood Lashes. Fuse both your natural lashes and the faux lashes with innovative, squeezable Lash Control Mascara in Purple Squeeze. Purple Squeeze is a lengthening and conditioning formula with a 2x black volumizing brush. The brush is slightly bent to allow you to really work the brush in the root of your lashes and extend them outward. You can also layer the formula to get the length you want. I haven't been able to put it down since I received it for editorial consideration!
[cheeks] With a very light hand, blend Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Betray, a deep plum rose, on the apples of your cheeks and blend towards your temples.
[lips] Apply MAC Dazzleglass in Funtabulous. Did you know there's a science in applying your gloss? Let your cupid's bud the star of the show. by checking out this Beauty Basics--Lip Gloss tutorial on Bergdorf Goodman's blog.
