Kiss The Sky: makeup tutorial

  • Eyes: Treasure Chest, Duchess, Enchant, Mermaid, black eyeliner
  • Lips: Lime Crime lipstick in No She Didn’t (blue)- available Oct 1
  • Face: Foundation Primer, foundation, Finishing Dust, bright pink blush, sequin star

Eyes
Prep the lids with eyeshadow primer. With a short-bristled brush, pat Duchess (shimmery green-blue) thickly onto the ball and blending slightly outwards & into the crease. Apply Treasure Chest (bright gold) on inner corners, under the brow and blend out towards the temple. Go over with Duchess to blend the edges slightly. Apply eyeshadow primer to lower lids – be sure to spread it evenly and apply Enchant a smaller brush onto lower lid, focusing on outer corners. Then, with the same brush, sweep some Mermaid on top.

Fill in waterline with black or dark gray pencil, put on mascara. Apply black eyeliner close to the lashes. Stick on false lashes (mine have foil in them, I got them at a Halloween store) and then re-apply black liner along the lash line. Fill in eyebrows in natural brown color (or black if you’re a brunette) giving them a nice arch.

Face
Moisturize skin. Apply Foundation Primer underneath foundation for extra-smooth results. Use concealer for spots and under eyes if needed. Sweep pink blush on the apples of cheeks. Set with translucent powder like Finishing Dust.

I love this sequin star and been wearing it a lot lately. Things like this add an oomph! to any look and can be attached with regular eyelash glue!

Lips
Lips were the easiest part. Lime Crime lipsticks are extremely pigmented so you only need to apply one layer to get tube color – even if you’re darker and it’s sky blue! I didn’t even bother with lip liner here because these lippies don’t really feather or bleed. Put a glob of clear gloss for shine and voila – you’re a Candyfuturistic Goddess ready to reach out and kiss the sky!
