EOTD: Sliced Apples...

Hi everyone! I hope you like the new layout...kinda of a pain in the ass as far as coding and getting it to look right, but it's simple and clean, no? (I especially like the slider on the homepage!) Anyway, in an effort to simulate that all my blogs are one page I've changed them all to this style. You can still go to the others by their blog names. I just don't have the money or time to buy server space somewhere and all that (As of now, I'm in the process of having a new house built. It'll be 4-6  months before it's ready so let's all hope the rates stay down and nothing happens between now & then!)

So~ Okay at first glance through the pictures everything says this is not an everyday look by any stretch of the imagination but I thought it was fun. Maybe for Halloween or some other time when crazy makeup is appropriate. (Uhm...Mardi Gras? LOL help me out on this one..). Plus it's pretty simple so you can definitely mix and match the colors and see what you come up with!

Normally, I prep and prime my lids and everything, but I was just playing around this night. So use your favorite lid primer and let dry.

Then apply a green base of some kind. I used a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Horse Raddish, can be found at stores carrying NYX products, Ulta and CherryCulture.com.


All the shadows I used came from the Coastal Scents 88 Piece Makeup Palette ($18.95: not the shimmer palette). Please look at the arrows to see which colors I used in each step! Take this first color, a bright green apple green
 

Pat it on to the inner half of the lid.
 

Like so..
 

Next with a fluffy blending brush take this bright red pink color
 

Apply to the outter half of the lid. LOL excuse the half open eye~..
 

Use the same blending brush to blend the red into the green, pulling your brush from the red into the green.
 

Next with a flat brush, take some of this charcoal black color..(All the way in the bottom right corner of the palette if you can't really see)
 

We're going to "cut" JUST ABOVE your natural crease and down the outside of your V. (See next eye picture to see exactly what I mean).
 

Next we'll take this nice skin toned color
 

Use any large fluffy blending brush you have, I'm actually using a blush brush from the Beauty Essentials brushes they sell at CVS (great brushes and reasonably priced). It's great for blending out and highlighting a large area.
 

Blended out, make sure you blend out the line on the corner too, just take a Q-tip and clean the eye up a bit because it will be a bit messy looking..
 

Add the same green and red to the bottom lid. Also take a little more of the green and red and blend it with the black line since some might have faded when we blended it out.
 

Add liner to mimic the flow of the black shadow in the V. I use Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Liner
 

Add black liner to your water line, I used Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero. I used a pencil brush to blend it out a little.

 

Just to make this look a little more ridiculous looking, we're going to add some big lashes. These are some old NYXs I havem, number 111

 

And here's the finished eye, lashes, liner, brows and all.
 

Funky and bright, reminded me of apples you see in the store..
 

The black shadow helps to bring the look back down to earth
 

With my lids you don't really see much with my eyes open. Used Eve Pearl Concealer in Tan (Trust me, my skin is not looking so hot lately!!) Make Up For Ever Mat Duo foundation powder on face.
 
It almost looks subtle in pictures (HA!) I paired it with Rock & Republic blush in Lust for the cheeks. Any Peachy Pink blush with a little gold will work.


For the lips I patted MAC's Lip Erase Balm in Dim (from the DSquared collaboration) all over my lips. Then lightly patted MAC Petals & Peacocks lipstick (LE Liberty of London collection) to the center of my lips and blended out with my finger. Then layered MAC Perennial High lipglass (LE Liberty of London collection). Any light concealer on the lips with a pink gloss or lipstick would work. Revlon's Baby Pink would be a good one.
