New England Patriots Inspired Makeup


It's that time of year again: Super Bowl time!
This year we have the Patriots and Eagles.
I am not a diehard fan of either team, so the outcome of the game won't shatter my world, but I still plan to watch and wanted to do a makeup look for each team.



Let's start things off with the New England Patriots

Tried to play off their logo with the red and blue




The most complicated part was trying to get the red lines to be the same length and angle on each side. I was using the end of my brows for guides, and then came to the realization that they are not "exactly" the same shape. But at least we came close.



I considered using a navy lipstick but went for red instead.
I'm such a fan of NYX Primal Colors pressed pigments (the red eyeshadow).
The pigment is so rich and if you wet the brush first the color is even stronger.

The quality of the video didn't come out as well as I was hoping it would.
It was a gloomy, rainy day and I work off natural light right now (stayed tuned for new lighting).

Metallic Teal Blue & Silver Eyeshadow


Hello, Beauties!
I want to share my latest makeup look and video with you.



I couldn't wait for my Urban Decay Heavy Metals Metallic Palette to arrive.
Then when I heard the crash at the door and saw the UPS truck drive away, my heart sank.
Much to my dismay one of my shades was shattered.
And the palette was sold out (not anymore!)


But I knew I could fix it, "Fix it, Felix!"
So with isopropyl alcohol in hand and Wreck-It-Ralph quotes in my head I went to work.
My fix it video is too large of a file put in this post but here's the link to it on my Instagram:




Tada! Not perfect but definitely better.
Now onto our look.






Amp (pretty teal color) on the lids
Dive (Blue) through the crease
Glamrock (Silver) on the brow bone


Along with some silver liners and light pink lipstick
