Kicks Inspired Makeup: Grey & Pink Nike Blazer








Here's a grey and pink look based on one of my more recent pick ups! It's a pretty basic smokey eye with an unexpected pop of neon pink on the lids. The grey actually turned out to be more taupe-ish, because I forgot to account for how the grey would turn out once blended with the neon pink.

On a side note, I haven't had time to concoct colorful looks recently because classes have been keeping me from experimenting with my eyeshadows. Since I moved out of my place by my university (where I started--and got used to!--taking makeup pictures), I've been experimenting with my camera at my current place, trying to figure out where to get the best natural lighting for my makeup photos. Hopefully I can start rolling out consistent shots soon!

Product breakdown:
-Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil, Black brown
-Shiseido Eyebrow Compact, Deep brown
-Urban Decay Primer Potion to prime
-Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (used to intensify neon pink)
-Sleek Acid Palette (white all over lid and blended up to browbone, neon pink on lid)
-MAC Copperplate (blended into crease and outer V, also brought down to lower lash line)
-Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil, Gunmetal (to line upper lash line)
-Maybelline Waterproof Lash Stiletto Voluptuous, Very black
