Fourth of July Makeup!



So it has been a really long time since I have posted anything... I am not even sure if any one even reads any of my stuff any way.. I have been super busy with a lot of new projects.. I will be sharing them on here within the next couple of weeks. I am a little delayed with this look I am about to post. This was the look that I did for the Fourth of July.. When its a holiday I like to always try to be festive. I really liked the look that I did. It was really quick and simple and easy.. I was not able to get a great picture of it because I was in a rush.. but this is how it turned out looking and I was pretty happy with it.. I got a lot of complements on it! 
I pretty much wanted a festive but not too dramatic look... I am not a fan of red eye shadow.. I am not sure why any one would use it..rather than theatrical or special effects makeup.. but thats just my opinion. I used different shades of blue on my lid with white as my base color. Then to add the red in my look I decided to use my hair as an accessory:) and a red lip. I didnt go with the traditional navy blue for this look. I wanted to do something lighter.. I thought the contrast would be too intense for this particular look. Then of course I went pretty intense on the brow.. like I always tend to do. Below I will post the colors and products I used to achieve this look! Thanks so much for checking it out! There will be more to come! 

Eyes- Primer= E.L.F in the Nude color. ( Do not buy the glitter primer its horrid)
Base of the eyelid= Combo of Mac "Shroom" and "Nylon"(to give it a shimmer)
Eye Crease= Combo of Mac "Contrast" "Deep Truth" and "Parisian Skies"(used that one for the blending)
Under brow highlight= Mac "Gesso" 
Lips= Wet and Wild in "Cherry Red" (best red lipstick I ever bought)
