Pink Friday: Pink Chocolate and the Minaj

Hey Barbz (in my Nicki voice)!! That's right today's look will be a recreation of one of Nicki Minaj's pink looks. We know she loves to rock a pink lip, but I've noticed in a lot of pictures on her Instagram, www.instagram.com/nickiminaj that she wears a smokey pinkish chocolate look on her eyes a lot too. Also, Nicki Minaj has been a big supporter of breast cancer awareness through her charity and even on the entertainment scene. Check out www.mypinkfriday.com/charity for more info on how she has been an impact in the worldwide awareness of breast cancer. So here goes my take on this star's signature look!!

For the eyes:

• Apply neutral base to eyes with fingertips. (MAC Layin' Low paint pot)
• Sweep medium brown eye shadow on brow bone with a fluffy brush. (MAC Saddle and #224 brush)
• Sweep warmer reddish brown on crease blending up towards medium brown eye shadow with same fluffy brush. (MAC Swiss Chocolate)
• Buff in small circular motions from outer corner to inner corner a deep orangey brown color in crease area focusing on eye socket area with a pencil brush. (MAC Brownscript and #219 brush)
• Pat shimmery pink loose pigment onto eyelid stopping at outer corner with a flat shader brush. Spray moisturizing spray onto brush (loaded with pigment) to make it moist for better color pay off and less fall out. (Naked Cosmetics Twilight TW-03 pigment, MAC #239 brush, and MAC Fix + spray).
• Shade outer corner of eyelid with a deep red violet color in a sideways v shape ( (<) for left eye and (>) for right eye) to smoke out and add some depth with the same shader brush. (MAC Sketch)
• Blend out any harsh lines with a dry (no product) fluffy blending brush. Sweeping back and forth motions and buffing circular motions will help to blend out harshness. (MAC #224 brush)
• Apply favorite black eyeliner with a slight wing and mascara. (MAC Blacktrack Fluidline and Lancôme Hypnose Drama mascara).

For Lips:

• Prime lips. (MAC Prep + Prime Lip)
• Line lips feathering the color inwards just a little. (MAC Plum lip liner)
• Apply lipstick. (Sephora Rouge Shine No. 4 So Cute!)
• Apply lipgloss. (Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer 131 Mica)
