Instructions

  1. Start out with a medium coverage foundation, as it's best to have a flawless base when wearing and eye catching lip color.

    For eyeliner I think a cream or gel would work best but you are free to use whatever you prefer. Start with a small flick from your top lash line angled towards the tail of your eyebrow. After you've set your flick in place, apply your liner at the base of your lashes, not yet worrying about a smooth like but making sure there won't be a gap of color near your top lash line. Looking forward into your mirror connect the tail of your eyeliner by drawing across until you touch your lashes . With the outline of the flick complete create a medium line across your lash line.

    To complete the eyes tight line the upper and lower water lines with a black pencil. Use the same black pencil to blacken behind your lower lashes. With a smudger eye shadow brush take a deep violet shadow and blend out and set the black eyeliner on the lower lash line. Coat your top and bottom lashes with a healthy few coats of mascara. I wouldn't recommend the addition of false lashes but if you would prefer the look with I would go with half lashes or individuals.

    For the lips you'll need a rosy mauve lipstick. I personally didn't have a single lipstick that matched hers but I was able to create the color mixing only two color. I used half of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Lydia and half of Lime Crime Retrofuturist.

    For blush tap you lip color along your cheeks and use you foundation blush to blend it in to have a soft flush not to distract from the lip color.
