THiNK PiNK Edition: Two ways to Rock out a Brown Smokey and Pink Lippie!

Good Afternoon Babez! As we all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month! One of my favorite makeup looks to wear going into the Autumn/Winter season is a smoky brown eye and a pink pout. So in light of wearing pink for awareness of this disease, I will share two of my favorite pink and brown makeup looks. For more information on breast cancer and the awareness around this type of cancer please visit www.nationalbreastcancer.org. For this non-pictorial tutorial, I will be listing the steps for the eyes and lips for both looks!

First Look: Smoky Sultry Eyes

• Apply concealer on entire eye with fingertips. (NW40 MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer)
• Sweep a reddish-brown eye shadow to brow bone with a fluffy brush. (MAC Brownscript and #217 brush)
• Sweep a brown eye shadow in crease area blending downwards with same fluffy brush. (MAC Brown Down and #217 brush)
• Sweep a brownish brown or black eye shadow into eye socket crease with a smaller precise brush to keep the color concentrated in the specific area. (MAC Carbon and #219 brush)
• Apply a cream based shimmery brown eye shadow to lid and blend into crease area with fingertip. (MAC Éclair Paint Pot)
• Apply favorite black gel liner and a pair of lashes. (MAC Black Black Chromaline and #210 brush)

For Pinky Nude Lips:

• Line lips with a skin tone lip liner. (MAC Cork lip liner)
• Apply pinky nude lipstick. (MAC Viva Glam II lipstick)

• Sweep contour shade in crease blending up lightly to brow bone with a fluffy brush. (MAC Blunt blush and #224 brush)
• Apply cream based shimmery brown eye shadow to lid and blend into crease area with fingertip. Apply a second layer for more intensity. (MAC Éclair Paint Pot)
• Pat shimmery pinky-gold color in tear-duct blending into cream based eye shadow on lid. (MAC Melon Pigment)
• Apply favorite black gel liner and lashes. (MAC Black Black Chromaline and #210 brush)

Rayci's Random Rant or Rave: I really like Rimmel's new Show Off lip lacquers. They are creamy and have a nice color pay off. I personally wouldn't wear them alone because they aren't longwearing but they work great applied on top of lipstick! The only thing I love less is the smell and taste. I have a bad habit of licking my lips lol. Over all I would rate it a 3 out of 5. 

Tomorrow's focus with be on Breast Cancer Awareness. I will share some facts supported by the Breast Cancer Awareness Organization and recreate a look from a celebrity that has made it one of her missions to spread awareness of breast cancer through everything PINK no matter the time or day!! Who could it be? Come back tomorrow to check her out!

xoxo,
