Kicks Inspired Makeup: Miami Vice








Here's a look based on one of my favorite kicks ever--the Miami Vice Spiz'ikes! This is the most difficult look I've had to come up with. The first couple of times I attempted a look with these colors, the pink blended with the teal and I got a purple mess that didn't resemble my Spiz'ikes at all. As a result, I decided to go with the cut-crease technique. It allowed me to cleanly separate the colors, and since it's also very dramatic, all of the colors stand out.
This was my first time trying out the cut-crease technique, so there's definitely room for improvement. I know I could have blended the black better, but yeah, feel free to leave me with suggestions for next time!
