Askmewhats Version: Christmas Red & Green Look

Hi everyone!!!
A couple of days ago, I did a very simple Christmas-y look called Holiday Green and White
I enjoyed doing the Christmas look and I did say I will try to do more of these!
A dear blogger/friend Tine challenged me to do colors of Red and Green....
Tine, this look is definitely dedicated to you! :D

Here's what I came up with! Christmas Reds and Greens


A diagram on how I achieved the look


First things first, I prep my lids with Urban Decay Primer Potion

It's on a different jar because I've done a surgery to my original UDPP tube



Step 1:

Using a taklon brush, pat on Urban Decay Book of Shadow's Absinthe color on the lid area.


Using the same Takon Brush
Pat on Jesse's Girl Eye Dust in Green
on
top of the Absinthe e/s


Step 2:

Using MAC 217 brush, apply RED e/s from Coastal Scents' 78pcs palette on top of the green e/s.



Step 3:

Using the same MAC 217 brush, deepen your eyes by applying Milani's Storm e/s on the outer v.




Step 4:

Highlight brow bone and inner corner of the eye with Bourjois Beige Rose


And here's what I achieved!



Eyes Closed



And here's my total look
Yes, my hair is curled by a colleague
Using a flat iron
Thanks Shanna!




And here are more products used (not on diagram) ----




MAC NC35
using CHARM Retractable Kabuki Brush


MAC Coquette
to fill in brows

Cover Girl Lash Blast using Shu Uemura Curler
Stila SmudgePots in Black using CHARM eyeliner brush
Paul & Joe black liner for waterline


Coastal Scents 78pcs palette blush 2nd from left
A baby pink tone


4U2 Lipstick No. 7
topped with Artdeco limited edition lipgloss in Silver




Gosh! I looked so tired!
But I like doing this look! I enjoyed the brightness of red and greens blended together
creating a nice Christmas look!
It's Saturday my side of the world, will do some Christmas shopping!
What about you? Have you started shopping for your loved ones?
Start early!!! :D
