Purple eyehsadows

I always wonder why I turn to purple eyeshadows alot. And you know after giving it a good thought I was like duh!!!!! Maybe because Purple makes my Hazel brown eyes stand out! lol. And the pictures above PROVE THAT THEORY! So I got my Manly Pallet in the mail last week and I was stoked! I have been waiting on this to come in for exactly one month! I ordered it off of ebay because it was dirt cheep but that was because it was coming from Hong Kong and it took FOREVER to get into my hands! But it has beautiful colors and very  pigmented. It has 120 colors to choose from! I have been wanting to get very creative with all the bright colors and I did so in a tutorial I posted on my Youtube account: www.youtube.com/rsjrodriguez . Feel free to check it out.

So with this look I took a very deep plum purple and placed that all over my lid. Then I got a very light shimmery purple and layered that above the deep purple in the crease. Next I took the very pigmented black and defined my outer corner and crease with it. After that there is this vanilla color that I used as a highlight and also as the tear duct highlight. Then I took the deep purple and dragged that under my eye about half way in and blended the vanilla color with it in the middle. I used my MAC Fluidline in blacktrack to line my lids and a little bit under my lower lashes. Topped that off with my Covergirl Lashblast to my upper and lower lashes and My eyes were set. For my eyebrows I used the Elf brow kit. For my face (mind you I look extremely pale because of the flash on my phone) I used Revlon Colorstay in True Beige. Add my Studio fix concealer to my problem areas then dabbed a little studiofix powder to seal it all together. For My blush I used Mac Mineralized Skin Finish in Comfort and then a pink blush on my apples. I don't have any lipstick on because my lips are extremely chapped so I am just wearing my softlips chapstick in Vanilla. As soon as my phone sends my other close up picture of my eye to my email to upload I will post it. Then you can really see what the eyes look like. I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a Uniquely Awesome Day. GOD BLESS.

Purple Shmirple

So I have really been diggin the purple eyeshadows lately. Why you may ask? I have no clue haha. If you notice, I really like dark dramatic makeup. And because I have my coastal scents Pallet with every color eyeshadow I like to play around with them. Since I wear a lot of black its easier to wear different color eyeshadows because everything goes with black! Anyways, Just thought I would post my makeup for today. I havent been posting blogs alot lately but in a few days I can share some exciting news with you guys. :) Stay on the look out for it. Have a uniquely awesome day. GOD BLESS.

Makeup of the Day

Today I went for a more defined look. I didnt do really any blending. What I did was I applied my Painterly Paint pot from MAC. Then I took my Coastal Scents 88 matte pallet and I took the color just diagnal from the black (up one and to the left) and I applied it all over my lid, into my crease and onto my bone to give it that elongaded cat eye effect. Then I took that same color and applied it onto the bottom outer half of my eye. Then I took a really pretty highlight color from my POPbeauty makeup kit and dusted that on the inner corner and picked it up just a bit on and over the brown color on the corner of my upper eye lid. Then I dusted it onto my brow bone. After that I added a little bit of black to the outer ">" of my eye and took the light left over into my crease. This just adds a little bit of demension. Then since my whole eye is pretty much dark I just took a MAC black eyeliner pencil and lined my eyelids very lightly and added my Cover girl Lashblast Mascara. I think if you have darker features that a not so blended out look will look very nice on you. and compliments your features. I hope you likes this. Please leave a comment of any other looks you would like to see. Have an awesome day and GOD BLESS.
