Iris Inspired Look

Gold and plum purples recreate this lovely flower in this make-up tutorial!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/iris-inspired-look • Posted by Courtney L.

This look is inspired by the yellow gold and deep purple colors found in the iris flower. I also wanted to create this look to match my yellow and purple hair for a fun look that was subtle or feisty by changing lipsticks. *iris photo from the internet and is not mine*

Instructions

  1. Small snapshot 20110805 1312579012

    FACE: Apply concealer and foundation to a clean, moisturized face. ( I recommend using brushes to get an even skin tone) I prefer a dewy look for this but it's up to you!

    EYES: use Lime Crime Nymph all over eyes extending to brow bone and under eye halfway. Using a small round brush, take the darkest purple color and apply on top lashline halfway from outer corner of eye. Smudge up into crease about halfway as well. (it should look like a < > on each side). Using a crease brush take some medium purple and dab into crease, blending into the < you made and blending on the half of your eye up to brow bone. Feel free to add finishing touches with a smudge brush. Take the plum eyeliner and apply to top and bottom lashlines on each corner of eye only going halfway to end of purple then smudge into gold. Apply purple mascara (I used flirt in violet vixen)and add the gold shadow/glitter or glitter mascara to lashes. *the purple eyeshadows I used in purple were matte but shiny would look cool as well*

    LIPS & CHEEKS: Apply a pale pink, nude (like LC Coquette), or for a funky look use LC D'lilac or Airborne Unicorn. For cheeks, use a light application of a shimmery pink to apples of cheeks! Voila! **I've attached photos of the same makeup but with the 4 types of lipsticks mentioned so you can see the difference!** in order-pink, coquette,d'lilac,airborne unicorn
