Now, for today’s look. No, it’s not my birthday, I just used Sugarpill ChromaLust Loose Eyeshadow in Birthday Girl, a beautiful candy pink infused with shimmers. Unfortunately my camera didn’t pick up how shimmery this shade is. It’s so sparkly in real life! I decided to pair it with purple and here’s what came out. I hope you’ll like it:
Products used:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Sugarpill ChromaLust Loose Eyeshadow in Birthday Girl
Sleek I-Divine Original Eyeshadow Palette
Sleek Curious eyeshadow palette
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Ransom
- Pupa Diva’s Lashes mascara
- YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation
- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
- Layla Top Cover Fard Compatto in n.7
- Layla Miracle Gloss in n.2
Directions:
- Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your eyes (I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance) to help makeup stay put all day and improve the color payoff of the eyeshadows.
- Pat a candy pink shade (I used Sugarpill ChromaLust Loose Eyeshadow in Bithday Girl) on the lid.
- Sweep a medium purple shade (I used the one in the Sleek Original eyeshadow palette) on the crease.
- Sweep a white shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious eyeshadow palette) on the browbone.
- Line your upper lashline with a purple pencil liner (I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Ransom) and, at the end, flick it slightly upwards. Line your waterline with the same shade too. Apply mascara.
- On your face, apply your usual foundation (I used YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation in no.5) and then concealer (I used Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Porcelain) to cover dark circles or any other imperfection you may have.
- Sweep a sparkling pink blush (I used Layla Top Cover Fard Compatto in n.7) on your cheeks.
- Apply an intense fuchsia lipgloss shade (I used Layla Miracle Gloss in n.2) on your lips.

Stavroula, thank you. I’m glad you like it.
Wow, it looks like that pink was so shimmery that it created a halo instead. It’s beautiful, though, and your look is deep and lovely. Good job!

Trisha, thank you! It is a very shimmery shade indeed and sparkles so beautifully in real life.
Gorgeous! I’m a sucker for purples, lol. I really like that you used a purple liner instead of a black! When you blink or close your eyes, it gives that nice pop of pink!

Dee, thanks. I love purples too. I thought black liner was too harsh for this look. I wanted a nice pop of color and the purple liner was perfect.
the pink looks really cute! so jelly yet subtle
Xin, thanks. It’s a beautiful pink shade indeed.
Ah! I love it, I love it, I love it! The pink is gorgeous and that purple. I need that purple.

Tammy, thank you! That’s one of my favourite purple shades and the pink is very pretty too. I think they go very well together.
Very nice! I love the colors and yet it still looks quite natural on you!
Nikki, thank you!
It’s a great idea to use purple eyeliner. I am really looking forward on applying it.

LatestGirls, thanks. I’m sure it’ll look great on you too.
Woot-woot, this is a true colour bomb! Just my cup of tea!!! It’s weird that you also experimented with pink. I’ve also made a look with pink as I’ve neglected this fresh colour for ages. What a coincidence!!!
Mylanqolia, great minds think alike.
Would love to see your pink look. And thanks, I’m glad you like it.
