Make up (HALLOWEEN SPECIAL)

TRICK OR TREAT… LIGHT! (EYES)

The Beauty Department

This is for those of you who either can’t wear a costume to work or don’t feel like it, but still want to do something festive! For the rest of us, don’t forget to revisit  Halloween Beauty Help and Halloween Beauty Help Part Two! Today’s look is simple if you break it down and actually very wearable if you pair it with a nude lip (peachy nude or pinky nude to add a little life) and a light peach cheek. And it lets everyone know you love Halloween, even if you can’t dress up for it! Here’s how:

TOOLS:

• Peach Eyeshadow — I used Lime Crime The Eye Palette’s Macarooned because it’s a gorgeous matte shadow, but you could easily use a light peach blush!
• Copper Eyeshadow — I used Lime Crime The Eye Palette’s Incantation because it’s a metallic copper shade that complements the peach beautifully.
• Purple Eyeshadow — I used Covergirl Flamed Out Shadow Pot’s Blazing Purplebecause it’s blazing!
• Your Favorite Mascara — I used Eyeko Curvy Brush Mascara because I’m obsessed with it right now (it’s creates tubes around each lash with fibers and gives you gorgeous thick and curled lashes.
• A Black Kajal Liner —  I used Tarte Skinny SmolderEYES Waterproof Liner in Onyx because it’s intensely pigmented to make the eyes look really piercing.
• A Highlighting Eyeshadow — I used Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow’s Champagne as it’s a perfectly pearlized shimmer shadow.

STEPS:

1. Apply the peach shade all over the lid.
2. Apply the copper shade in the crease.
3. Also sweep the copper shade along the lower lash line.
4. Wet an angled liner brush and dip it in the purple shadow. Trace it along the upper lashline then flick it up and out for a cat eye effect.
5. Line the lower lash line with the purple eye shadow as well.
6. Apply a couple coats of mascara.
7. Rim the inner waterline with the Black Kajal Liner.
8. Stamp the highlighting shadow on the inner corner to brighten and separate the eyes.

The orange lip trend is everywhere this Fall but can be a little intimidating. How do I wear it? What eye makeup do I wear it with? Blush or bronzer? Of course with makeup there are no rules and however you want to express yourself, I stand behind you! But this is how I’d do it. And maybe you’re thinking you have no interest in this trend, but I’m nonchalantly asking you (with no hard feelings either way)… what do you have to lose? You try it and if you’re not feeling it, you wipe it off and go with something else! Here’s exactly what I did on my lovely model Brook Power above.

TOOLS:

• Orange Lip Pigment — I used MAC Lipmix in Orange because it really pops and is a true orange.
• Lip Brush — I used MAKE UP FOR EVER Precision Lip Brush 302 because it provides the perfect edge for the perimeter.
• Coral Lip Liner — Try Beauty Is Life Lip Contour Liner in Orange.
• Pearl Eye Shadow — I used NARS Single Eye Shadow in Edie.
• Navy Blue Eye Liner — I used Lancome Le Stylo Waterproof Liner in Minuit because it’s gorgeous and stays put for hours.
• Angled Liner Brush — I used Space NK’s Liner Brush because it beat out the rest to find a home in my kit for it’s thinness and stiffness.
• Mascara — I used Maybelline Great Lash in Blackest Black because it’s a classic and never disappoints.
• Cream blush — I paired the lip and eye with CHANEL’s new limited edition Le Blush Creme de CHANEL in Revelation 63.
• Foundation — Brook is wearing CHANEL Vitalumiere Aqua Skin Perfecting Makeupin #50 because it’s super lightweight but covers where you need it (while letting her freckles sparkle!).
• Powder — I used Tarte Aqualillies Smooth Operator Loose Powder because it really sets the makeup without looking cakey.

STEPS:

1. Apply foundation all over your face and neck with your favorite foundation brush.
2. Set it with powder.
3. Apply the pearly-white shadow all over your lid and crease as a single wash of color.
4. Line the upper lashline with the navy blue liner. Wing it slightly out and up for a little more stylized look.
5. Perfect the wing by slightly dragging the liner brush to extend the tip of it.
6. Line the bottom lashline.
7. Add a couple coats of mascara on the top and bottom lashes.
8. Apply the light peach cream blush along the cheekbones.
9. Line the perimeter with the lip liner then use it to fill in the entire lip.
10. Finish with the star of the show, the orange lip pigment! Use the lip brush for precision.

And for the jewelry lovers out there, the rings she’s wearing in the Blush step are Anna Beck’s Green Onyx Stackable Rings, my newest obsession and head-turner that I got on a shoot with Rachel Bilson last week (and had to have!).
