Plum Dandy

In honor of the picking up a purple-colored spaghetti strap camisole from Forever 21 last weekend for $2.50, I decided to put together an outfit to show off my new purchase as well as a make-up look to go with it. The look turned out to be very summertime date-night - appropriate.

Eyes...


[* Cover the entire lid from below the brow to the lash line with Painterly using your finger.
[* Apply Vanilla to hightlight the area underneath the brow bone (217).
[* Apply Da Bling to the inner third of the lid (242).
[* Apply Plum Dressing to the middle of the lid, blending it with Da Bling (242).

[
* Further darken the outer corner with a bit of Sketch (222).
[* Adding more Vanilla onto your brush, blend the highlighting colors & the colors at the crease together (217).
[* Using Sketch, line the lower lash line from the outer corner to the middle of the eye (214).
[* Line the upper lash line with Blacktrack (263).




Cheeks...


[
* Use Tenderling as a rosy base and apply it to the apples of the cheeks and enhance the middle of the apples with a bit of Flirt 'N Tease (116).

Lips

[*
Since the eyes steal the show, apply Cherish, a nude lipstick with a hint of pink to lips.

Additional finishing steps: [Fill in eyebrows using MAC's #208 Angled Brow brush and MAC Eyeshadows in Charcoal Brown and Espresso], [Tame unruly brows using MAC Brow Finisher in Clear], and [Darken lashes using MAC's Plushlash mascara in Plushblack].
