The penguin challenge look 3: purple everywhere

It's time for the last look for the penguin challenge. I had so much fun creating all three looks, and looking at other masterpieces :). I love makeup so much, that's why I decided to do more makeup blog post, because it's the funnest thing to do! :)


The third look has to be white and colour. My first thought was white and orange (who knows why ...), but instead I decided to go with purple-white look, for I remembered I had some purple false eyelashes! Because I didn't want to incorporate black mascara, unfortunately I don't have purple mascara :)

So here is the look I created:






Face:
- Bourjois foundation Bio detox organic
- E.l.f. Under eye concealer and highlighter
- E.l.f. High Definition Powder
- E.l.f. Brush (it has no name on it, it's kinda pinky-peachy-purple-y shimmery shade :D)

Eyes:
- Artdeco eyeshadow base
- NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil 604 Milk
- BH cosmetics 88 Color palette Tropical shimmer eyeshadow (it has only two purple shadows, used them both)
- Coastal Scents 88 Color Eye Shadow Palette (used the darkest purple)
- Sleek i-Divine palette in Chaos (matte white)
- BeautyUK eyeshadow collection in Twilight (shimmery white)
- Kiko Mixing solution 
- Baci false eyelashes No. 545 (purple lashes, I bought them in erotic shop :P)
- Duo eyelash adhesive Clear-white

Lips:
- Artdeco High Performance Lipstick in shade 498
- Artdeco Soft Lip Liner waterproof 91
- Revlon Lipbutter Gumdrop

Firstly, I applied foundation, concealer, set everything with powder and primed my eyes. Applied NYX Jumbo pencil on my lids, blended it with my fingers. Started applying shimmery purple on outer corner of my eyes, in my crease and in the inner corner, leaving the center of my lids uncovered. Applied another darker purple-y shade over what I just did and white matte eyeshadow in the center. With wet brush (mixing solution) I applied white shimmery shade in the center. I deepened the outer corner with darker shade of purple and blended it with white brow highlight colour. Did the same thing on my lower lashline. Lined my eyes with wet brush and dark purple eyeshadow. Applied white jumbo pencil in my waterline. I left my eyebrows au natural.

I outlined and filled in the corners of my lips with purple lip pencil and applied darker lipstick. In the center I applied light purple shade and dabbed some shimmery white eyeshadow on top.


You can make this look easily more wearable with skipping the purple eyelashes, you can apply black false lashes or just black mascara. And you can switch for natural lipstick shade.

I think I could have done so much better with this look, but I don't really have time to recreate it. Maybe some other time :)

Have a lovely day!

The penguin challenge look 2: 80's inspired, colour block


The second look from the penguin challenge has to be black and colour. Because penguins live in the water (well, they don't live in the water, but they swim and hunt in the water :D), I wanted to do something with blue. I decided to go with turquoise, for it's one of my favourite colours.
This look is much simpler than the first one (you don't say? :D), I really wanted to create something more wearable. Although it's still not probably the most wearable look, but you can easily tone it down or make it even more dramatic.

So here is the look I created:





Products used:

face:
- Essence Clear&matt Make-up oil-free foundation 01 porcelain
- Bourjois healthy mix concealer 52 Vanille
- E.l.f. complexion perfection
- NYX blush Pinched
- NYX Mosaic powder highlight

eyes:
- Urban Decay Primer potion Eyeshadow base
- E.l.f. Creme liner Teal tease
- Coastal Scents (turquoise colour and a lighter blue, I applied in the center of the lids and inner corner)
- NYX Mosaic powder highlight 
- Essence gel liner 01 Midnight in Paris
- Catrice Kohl Kajal black
- Bourjois Volume Glomour Max definition mascara
- Baci false eyelashes no. 652

eyebrows:
- Catrice Absolute Eye colour 350 Starlight Expresso

lips:
- Revlon Lipbutter TuttiFrutti

I applied creme eyeliner as an eyeshadow base, to make an eyeshadow pop. I set it with turquoise eyeshadow to prevent smudging and creasing. In the center of my eyelid and in my inner corners I applied light blue to add some dimension. For brow highlight I used the same one as for the face (NYX), I lined my upper lash line with black gel liner and bottom lash line with black eyeshadow and a little bit of turquoise colour. Applied black pencil in my waterline, added mascara and false lashes.

Because eyes were blue, I decided to do orange lips, because those colours compliment each other. For cheeks I also chose orange-y blush.
Afterwards I realized that I colour blocked and it kinda reminds me of 80's makeup. That's why I wrote that in the title :).
As easy as ABC :)


Do you like it? I think it's really easy to do and I would totally wear it. Would you?
