I’m delighted I provided this look a try, even though I don’t believe I look almost as great as the woman I based it on from Nylon magazine…

Seriously, I look like I just grew a second pair of eyebrows, LOL! — purple glittery sparkly eyebrows, though. Which are lovely in their own way, right? Maybe?

Hello, glitter
So this is what I came up with for my very first look based on the bookmarks as well as Post-It notes I did in those magazines the other day. I’m providing myself 30 days to recreate different looks that are out of my comfort zone, as well as this was one from Nylon with a sparkly minimalist purple cut crease.
Before I started, I spent a few solid minutes just looking carefully at the model, as well as right here are the things that jumped out at me (other than her purple cut crease)…
Her big, strong fluffy brows, which look pushed up as well as out toward the inside, where the hairs are super separated as well as defined.
Her skin, which looks a bit dewy. There’s some highlight action reflecting off the center of her forehead, her nose as well as under her eyes, however it’s not an intense highlight.
The laundry of nude color on her lids. It appears like there’s likewise a super skinny brown liner line along her upper lash line.
Her lips. I question if that’s her natural lip color. If it is, lucky duck! It’s beautiful. It appears like she may be using a just-right balm since it doesn’t look as well creamy or shiny or heavy or matte. I’m guessing it’s a lip liner-lip balm combo.
With these things in mind, I rifled with my makeup collection as well as came up with this sparkly, glittery cut crease.

First, I started by type of mapping out out the shape of the cut crease (a.k.a. my glittery second set of eyebrows) on my lids with metropolitan Decay heavy metal shine eyeliner in Metalhead, which is a liquid purple shine liner and, when I had a great amount of that on, I dipped my preferred NARS #47 angled clean into a purple shine shadow from the metropolitan Decay Moondust Palette, wet it with comprise For ever mist & repair to amplify the glitter, as well as then pressed it right on top of the shine liner.
I did that a few times up until I got the cut crease this shiny, glittery as well as intense.
For my big, fluffy brows, I filled them in with the present like o’ my brow life, MAC Brow Sculpt Brow Pencil in Brun, as well as then utilized a boat tons of benefit remove brow gel to push as well as fluff them up, particularly at the front.
I mean, I did as much as I could… The model’s brows are incredible! Mine don’t look that full, however I tried.
Next, for my skin, to get that dewiness, I utilized MAC Matchmaster shade intelligence Compact (my shade is 4.0), which is MAC’s pillow cream compact. It’s medium protection as well as has a satiny finish.
Then, I set that with Clinique Uplighting Illuminating Powder in golden Glow, which is an all-over deal with highlighting powder with a pearly finish.
At that point, I still desired more sheen on specific areas (under my eyes, on my nose as well as in the middle of my forehead), so I tapped a bit bit of RMS beauty Living Luminizer, a creamy pearl highlighter, on those exact same areas.
Ya know, just staring off into space, looking cray…
I lined my lips as well as filled them in with rosy nude metropolitan Decay 24/7 Lip Pencil in Manic, then topped it with Chapstick, of all things, LOL! Chapstick overall Hydration wetness + Tint in Coral Blush.
I felt absolutely NUTS when I was done, however I’m delighted I provided this a try. It was fun! So what if I appeared like I grew a second pair of shine purple eyebrows. It’s makeup. You can always laundry it off, right?
Oh this? This is just my second set of brows… Yes, I was born with them.
