Urban Decay Super Smokey Purple

I know more than a few of you have been waiting for me to upload this video. Ever since I posted my London Vlog, I've had a constant stream of messages and comments asking about the make up look I was wearing. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the finished look. I've been somewhat lacking inspiration of late but this photo sparked it off:



It's from the Makeup International magazines I showed in my London Vlog. This is an advert from the first page of the first magazine I picked up. I'm still kicking myself for not buying every issue the shop had out on the counter. When I've been paid at the end of the month, I'm phoning up Charles Fox to see if they will ship the remaining issues out to me.

Here are a couple of pictures of the look I ended up with. Not an exact replica, but it's never going to be identical:




I used:
-YSL Radiant Brush Foundation "#1"
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-MAC Cream Colour Base "Black" over lid and under lower lashline
-Urban Decay eye shadow "Lust" over lid and lower lashline
-Urban Decay eye shadow "Last Call" crease
-Urban Decay eye shadow "Vapor" highlight
-Urban Decay eye shadow "Exhaust" inner corner of lids
-Gosh liner "Black Ink" waterlines
-Barry M liquid liner "Black" top liner
-Mascara
-Milani blusher "Pink Craze"
-Prestige Mineral Bronzer "Pure Shimmer"
-Urban Decay lipgunk "Gash"
-Urban Decay lipgunk "Naked"

  2. I like your version better than the inspiration look, you look like you walked out of a lovely high concept art film...

  3. @happy1234 - Thanks!

    @7hereshegoes - Thankyou! I think the photoshop contrast was cranked up a bit for the advert!
