Yay, It was my birthday this month! I went out to a special dinner with my lover boy and got all fancied up in my beloved old signature style; a red lip and a black smoky eye with an added glittery twist.
For the eyes, I chose my most adored black eyeshadow, Bulletproof from Sugarpill and layered it over a base of my new Inglot gel eyeliner #77, which is so creamy and great to blend.
I went for a sharp, angled shape and blended the black up into a peachy shade from Inglot along with M.A.C's blush in Cantaloupe to match my cheek colour. The finishing touch for the eyes was the sparsely applied red glitter, Candy Apple from Eye Kandy, to add a festive glint and complement my new red leopard print Jessica Louise dress.
Finally, there would be no Michty Maxx signature look without a matte red lip. So I used the amazing Lime Crime Velvetines and blended Suedeberry over MUFE 8C lip liner in the centre with Red Velvet and M.A.C Nightmoth lip liner around the edge to create a sexy gradient pout. The best thing is, even after a whole meal and drinks I my lipstick stayed perfect and I didn't have to touch up once all night!
If you love an opaque, deep dark black as much as I do, check out Bulletproof, the blackest black ever, from Sugarpill here, along with many other gorgeous bright shadows!
