Fly into the competition season with a dramatic new look: Dazzling Bird of Paradise! Here is how to create this colorful and sparkling fantasy.
Tips from GoGirl! Cosmetics
- Create a smooth canvas, using concealer to even out eyelids. Then set with translucent powder.
- Create exotic eyes with black shadow applied across entire lid and blended just up above eye crease to add lift. Define crease with medium brown eyeshadow. Blend into the edges of the black and up just below eyebone.
- Warm up the eye on the eyebone with peach shadow from inner eye corner to outer browbone. The peach tone brings out the red accents.
- Highlight with shiny gold shadow under brow.
TIPS: For easier eye color application, shape and shade brows first. - Even out skin with full coverage oil-free foundation, concealer under eyes and translucent face powder to set.
- Wet a liner brush and use black shadow as liner for fish tails at outer edges. Apply yellow glitter in between separated line ends.
- Brows frame the eyes and should be well-defined. Use a brow color (pencil or cake) a shade darker than your natural hair tone. Lengthen at ends to create drama and keep brows on the thinner side.
- Shape and define lips with a rich red/brown lip liner. Line full and round.
- Brighten lips with a true red lipstick. Use a lip brush to blend into lip liner. Finish and add sparkle with red glitter on the center of both upper and lower lip.
- Contour cheeks with a pink/brown cheek shade. TIP: Follow cheekbone, applying from the center of the ear towards the base of the nostril. Place two fingers along the nose and stop contouring when you reach outer finger. Make sure to contour sweeps up toward nostril, not down toward mouth.
- To create fullness, flush cheeks with red cheek color just on cheek rounds.
- Highlight face with gold shimmer powder on cheekbones. Create a beak effect by adding shimmer powder from center of forehead to end of nose. Sprinkle yellow loose glitter around hairline.
- Create exotic facial designs with liquid squeeze-out glitter and rhinestones in gold and red.
- Full feathery lashes in red finish the look. Trim to fit and allow glue to dry for about 20 seconds so it's tacky when you apply lashes.
