Happy Monday! I haven't been doing any AMW Version looks recently as I have been going through tough times! Tough times isn't over but life has to go on and I have to move on and do the stuffs that makes me happy!
I haven't been doing any vibrant colored makeup lately, so I'm inspired to do one and I picked up the eyeshadow palette from Coastal Scents. Here's what I came up with....
AMW Diagram
Using a flat shader brush, pat on the matte purple eyeshadow from the CS 78pcs Makeup Palette. Pat it all over the lid area going a little bit above the crease area. Add as desired.
Do not forget to apply the same shade on the lower lash line.
Step 2:
Using a crease brush, apply the outer v area with a dark bluish purple shade and blend.Step 3:
Using a bigger blending brush, blend all the shades with a dark brown eyeshadow. Reapply as needed.Step 4:
Highlight the browbone area and inner corner of the eye with a white eyeshadow.Step 5:
Line the upper lashline and lower lashline with Coastal Scents' Gel Liner in True Black using CS Bent Liner.Apply 2 coats of your favorite mascara
after curling the lashes with Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
Do not forget to fill in your brows
with your favorite pencil liner
or eyebrow powder
What's on the rest of my face?

ReplyDeleteHi Nikki
ReplyDeleteVery nice color combi.
I am going thru tough time for some time already and I continue to remember God's word in James 1:2-4. It's talking about after going through trials in our life , we will be complete and not lacking anything.
The verse says: Consider it pure joy my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develop perseverance, perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Stay strong!
*hugs* Nikki. That 'Almost Matte' look sure is great. And as always, the tutorial is VERY HELPFUL, esp for newbies like me.
