Purple Pleasure

I started with a crazy idea for some Holographic Space-age lips then had some fun with light purples around the eyes. For some reason M.A.C 3D silver makes me want to use purple with it and what better purples to use but Sugarpill Poison plum, Paperdoll, M.A.C Vellum and my new beautiful Inglot shadows I got recently. 

Enjoy!

Type O blood drops

I felt like some red finger tips and the urge to use many a rhinestone was too strong. I had an idea to create blood drops as a halloween idea and the Glitter Gal polish Type O jumped out at me. Its "bloody" gorgeous deep colour and amazing sparkle a plenty did not leave me wanting.

Holographic Space-age Lips!

I had a cool idea for full on glitter lips and went all out with M.A.C Reflects 3D Silver as the focus and Sugarpill's Tiara as a liner, with OCC Lip Tarred as a base behind all the sparkle!

Enjoy!

Here's a shot that's blurry to show more of the holographic glitter action.

Tutorial

1. Before starting the design, prepare the lips by using a lip balm and letting that soak in for a while. Then apply a lip primer and let it set for a couple of minutes. 

2. Line around your lips with a white lip or eye pencil. Don't worry about being perfect yet, just get a rough guide going.

Note: When doing a two-toned lip lined look like this, I like to line outside my natural lip edge as the defined inner section makes your lips look smaller otherwise. 

3. Then fill in the centre of the lips with a black lip liner. I used an eyeliner again because I don't have a lip pencil in that colour. 

For any mistakes and "colouring outside the lines", use a cue tip to wipe off the pencil and reapply the white.

4. Apply your lip tar or black lipstick over the black liner with a lip brush or small brush with a defined edge. Add a highlight to your cupid's bow with a grey toned silver eye shadow and also apply to the centre of your bottom lip.

Make sure you are neat with this step as clean up is more difficult with a dark lip tar like this.

5. Use a small brush to apply a glitter adhesive to your lips over the black area. Make sure the adhesive is lip safe or at least non toxic. You can also use a clear lip gloss or Vaseline. Use the same brush to pat the glitter on top of the adhesive, trying to keep inside the black area.

I wouldn't recommend the Eye Kandy Liquid sugar for lips, it's great for eyes but honestly kinda stung my lips a little.

6. Mix up the silver pigment with a mixing medium or water and using an angled brush apply it around your lips over the white liner. Pat the silver pigment dry on top of the liner and dab the brush between the border of the glitter and the liner to make sure you've filled in all the spaces. 

I used M.A.C Fix+ sprayed onto a brush and mixed the pigment to a paint-like consistency in the lid of the jar.

Golden Blue

This is a look I wore to hit the mall and get some Inglot shadows and such. I recently got a few more OCC lip tars and I really wanted to do a glittery gold eye with a blue lip. 

I also tried a different way to get a glittery eye by mixing the Eye Kandy glitter in with the gold pigment using the Glitter adhesive as a mixing medium and it worked really well. Here we go for some photos of my look and OOTD.

Enjoy!

My OOTD with my favourite and every faithful leather jacket that I've had for like 8 years from Sirico and it still looks great, an Ed Hardy pink Love Kills Slowly long t-shirt with low neckline, a black basic long sleeve jersey dress that I wore as an undershirt. Also some Just Jeans F fit low rise flared jeans in light blue (which I like to call blonde jeans). My shoes are high heeled Dr. Martins which I believe are the Darcie model.

Here's a closer shot of my sassy Ed Hardy t-shirt.

By the photo below you may be able to tell the weather was shocking that day (despite being spring) and to not ruin my hard glittery work, I had to Gortex up with my every so sleek (;-P) raincoat. Although I had an ingenious idea to disguise my uncouth wet-weather gear, which was to take a plastic shopping bag and roll up my jacket like a sleeping bag and cram it in there, then tie it to my back pack handle so I can walk around unencumbered and stylish. ;-)

But it was all worth it cause I got my beautiful shadows and also a couple of other tidbits. 

From Inglot I bought #493 Double Sparkle, #39 AMC shine, #441 Pearl, #439 Pearl, #407 Pearl, #473 Double Sparkle, #446 Pearl, #450 Pearl and a 10 palette (which totally kicks ass!)

From el Mall I also got a M.A.C pigment in Neon Orange (which looks mind-blowing!), and at the Body Shop a facial exfoliating brush and one of their new Born Lippy lip balms in stick form in the flavour Pomegranate.

And I finally organised my Inglot shadows and I can't wait to use them.
