Bright Yellow and Purple Cut-Crease Tutorial!

I had so much fun putting this look together! It's a bit bold, but I will have to wear it to work this week just for the heck of it!

 Step 1: Prime your eyes with a white primer/base such as NYX Eyeshadow Base in White.

Step 2: Apply a bright yellow eyeshadow.(I'm using a palette from a brand called "Manly" ROTFL, that I purchased for cheap on eBay)

Step 3: Use a dark purple eyeliner such as Elf's Studio Cream eyeliner in Punk Purple. Trace your crease line with this using a small precision brush. Blend upwards quickly, as this product pulls as it's drying.

Step 4: Take the brightest shade of purple in the palette and layer directly over the Punk Purple cream Liner. Blend upwards and outwards.

Step 5: Take a pink shade, (Not neon pink, but a shade of pink that's closer to a purple color in shade) and blend that into the top part of the purple shade as well as blending it upwards and outwards.

Step 6: Use the matte white shade in the palette, and run that along your brow bone as a highlighter. Blend a tad bit downwards into the pink shade.

Step 7: Line your upper lash line and lower lash line and/or waterline with a black (or purple) eyeliner such as Elf's Cream Eyeliner in Black.

Step 8: Coat your lashes with 1-2 coats of mascara such as Elf's Lash Extending Mascara.

Step 9: add some blush to your cheeks. Here I used Elf's Blush & Bronzing Cream in St. Lucia.

Step 10: Pucker up, buttercup! Put light nude pink shade of lipstick or gloss on your lips. I am using Elf's Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick in pink Umbrellas.

There you have it! Would you guys wear this look?

Purple Rust Tutorial!

I wanted to try something exotic and seductive, uncommon and interesting. I turned to my NYX Box of Eyeshadows and a few Elf products to throw something together. Well, I'm not entirely sure if I love this look or not, but I think I'm going to use it on a model for a photoshoot! It's purple and feminine, copper and grungy. Even if it's something you wouldn't personally wear, I hope that it inspires you to wear some creative and bold makeup, or brainstorm for something cool and unique to try out! Step 1: Prime your eyes with a good primer such as Elf's Eyelid Primer.

Step 2: dab your brush into the bright coppery shade of the NYX Box of Eyeshadows Palette. Cover your entire eyelid with this color.

Step 3: Take Elf's Long-lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow in Festivity and apply it from the outer corner of your eyelid towards the inner corner...but stop a little over halfway to the inner corner.

Step 4: Take Elf's Mineral Eyeshadow in Golden, and dab it ONLY in the center of your eyelid, between the copper color and the sparkly purple shade.

Step 5: Dab some of the dark purple shade from the NYX Box of Eyeshadows and apply it gently over the Festivity Elf color. Blend upwards and outwards.

Step 6: Take a nude color close to your skin tone and blend from your brow bone into the purple/golden/coppery shades.

Step 7: Use a black eyeliner such as Elf's Cream Eyeliner in Black to create a small or big wing, and line your top lash line. Line your lower lash line as well.

Step 8: Use a good black mascara such as Elf's Lash Extending Mascara to coat your lashes w/ 1-2 coats.

Step 9: Dab some mauve blush onto the apples of your cheeks, and swipe back towards your hairline. I'm using Elf's Studio Blush in Berry Merry.

Step 10: Next is the lips. try to use a light or sheer berry shade. I'm using Elf's Conditioning Lip balm SPF 15 in Blissful Berry.

And there you have it! Finished Look:

What do you guys think? I'm kind of on the fence about it.
