Fill lips with Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick in Vamp Pink 21, then dab MAKE UP FOR EVER Glitter in Pink on top while the lipstick is still slightly tacky.

Apply Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 from the Oil Free Flawless Face Kit in Nude, then add a healthy flush by blending Tarte Natural Beauty Natural Cheek Stain onto the cheeks.

Line and fill lips with a vibrant shade of pink like Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick in Las Vegas.



Using the Sephora Collection Platinum #14 Medium Shadow Brush, sweep Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Sadist onto the lids and stipple some under the lower lash line, then apply Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Fatal on the brow bones making sure the purple diffuses with the blue below it. Generously line the upper lash line with MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Eyes in 12L, winging it up and out at the end for a colorful, filled in cat eye look. Finish with a couple coats of Too Faced Lash Light Mascara and a quick arch shape-up using the Anastasia Brow Definer

Apply Dior SkinFlash Primer in Sheer Glow for a lit-from-within glow.

Apply Sephora Collection Lip Attitude - Star in Mauve Scandal 10 for a frosty finishing touch.

TIP: While purple isn't as common on the lips as red or beige, you might want to rethink how often you wear the color since it magically makes teeth look whiter and brighter.



Start with Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin to make shadow stay put. Using the Sephora Collection Colorful Artist Eyeshadow Palette, apply the pink shade on the lids and inner eye, the purple shade along lower the lash line, and the yellow shade under the brow bone and lower lash line. Finish with Yves Saint Laurent Exaggerated Mascara In Deep Black.

Apply Lancôme Ôscillation Powder Foundation to create a smooth, even complexion. Add Josie Maran Cream Blush In Sunset to cheeks.

For a perfect nude lip, apply a coat of NARS Lip Gloss in Striptease.
