2011 MTV VMA Inspired Eyes

The MTV VMAs wil be airing next Sunday and I noticed that the colors this year are black, white, purple & pink. So, I decided to do an eye featuring those colors. I've been thinking about re-creating Emma Watson's eye makeup from the New York premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 with Sugarpill's Goldilux CromaLust instead of gold leaf. But, once I decided to do this VMA look, I thought that it would be more interesting to do something inspired  by her eye makeup, using the VMA colors. This is what I came up with...

NARS Autumn 2011 Re-creation Attempt

I don't have any of the NARS products that were used on the model and I'm sure that I don't have them, so I just made due with what I do have. I didn't bother to do the whole face, because I wouldn't ever dare to put a picture of  my face anywhere near her's. LOL! Plus, I don't think that I have a blush that is close enough to the one that she has on. Although, I do have Gina & it MIGHT be similar. I'm quite confident that Revlon's Smoked Peach Matte lipstick with a tiny bit of clear gloss over it would look very similar to what she's wearing, though. Anyway, this is what I was able to do...

Armani Privé Fall 2011 Couture Re-creation Attempt

I recently saw pictures of the Armani Privé Fall Couture Runway show and fell in love with the makeup. The makeup artist (Linda Cantello) who created this look said that the makeup was meant to be a nod toward Japan, without being a full-on Geisha look. And Mr. Armani himself "was emphatic that he didn't want any color on the face" (this is why you only see my eye). Of coarse Giorgio Armani cosmetics were used on the models. But, I don't have any of those items. So, I was going to used MAC. Then, I remembered that I have the Sleek Paraguaya palette and realized that it would be PERFECT for this look. Plus, because it's much more affordable, it's likely that many more of you have it in your possession. Anyway, this is what I did...
