Bright Makeup: Hot Pink Smoky Eyes
Go fierce or go home! Dark, sultry smoky eyes with a hot pink edge paired with equally in-your-face pink lips.
You will need the following…
- Eyes: MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot (neutral beige base), MAC Fuchsia Pigment (fuchsia), Sugarpill Dollipop Eyeshadow (matte fuchsia pink), Sugarpill Bulletproof Eyeshadow (matte black), MAC Stars ‘n Rockets Eyeshadow (fuchsia-purple), MAC Beautiful Iris Eyeshadow (iridescent icy purple), MAC Blacktrack Fluidline (black liner), Urban Decay Lust 24/7 Liner (purple), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Laura Mercier Setting Powder
- Cheeks: MAC Sculpt Sculpting Powder (dark nude), MAC Shell Pearl Beauty Powder (soft champagne-peach)
- Lips: MAC Petals & Peacocks Lipstick (hot pink), MAC True Babe Lipstick (hot pink)
- Brushes: 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 168 (fluffy angled brush), 165 (tapered blush brush), 130 (flat stippling brush)
- Substitutes: Shell Pearl = Soft & Gentle; Petals & Peacocks = Girl About Town; True Babe = Pink Poodle
For eyes, start by applying Soft Ochre paint pot as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. With the 239 and water-based mixing medium (or water), apply Fuchsia pigment all over the lid area. Using the 239, apply Dollipop eyeshadow on the entire lower eyelid area. Darken the outer third of the lid with Bulletproof eyeshadow with the 226, gently brushing it into the outer crease. Lightly blend Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow, with the 226, in the crease. Lightly tap and brush Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow directly above the crease to soften. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Beautiful Iris eyeshadow as a highlighter on the brow bone and inner tearduct. Bring everything together by applying Lust eyeliner on the lower lash line and Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow lightly patted below the lower lash line with the 219 brush. Finish by applying Blacktrack fluidline to the upper lash line with the 208, and then sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Sculpt sculpting powder to the hollows of the cheeks to lightly contour and blend onto cheeks with the 168. To highlight, apply Shell pearl onto the cheekbones with the 165.
For lips, apply Petals & Peacocks lipstick first, and then layer True Babe lipglass for a complementing lip.

Ooh – nice. The colors mesh really well with your dark hair.
Thanks a lot, Crystal!

Thank ya!
so beautiful! LOVE that lip combo!
Thank you, Alexa!
WOW. Goooooorgeous!
Reminds me I haven’t worn purple in a while. Will have to try this look soon!
Thank ya, Catherine!
So fierce and beautiful!
I love it!
Thanks, Victoria!
Oh…Em…Geee one of THE BEST looks I’ve ever seen on you!!! Gorgeous!!! If anything were to convince me to look into Sugarpill shadows, it’s this. I take it you like them??
Thanks a lot, Heather!
Sugarpill is SUPER vibrant. If you love color and brightness, definitely worth getting. The intensity of the colors is amazing — I have no hot pink like Dolliop in my collection. One of MUFE’s hot pinks is the closest, but it’s so sheer in comparison to Dollipop. They’re a little dusty as mattes often can be, but they’re very easy to work with and blend well.
ahhh that’s killer! it looks like it’d be some pretty sweet going out/clubbing make-up.
Thank you so much, Bettina
Definitely a good look for clubbin’!
Whoa! Love the HD foundation on you!! You look flawless
Thanks, Natalie!
LOVE IT! Hot pink smokey is my favorite! You look gorgeous!
Thank ya, Sara!
oh wow! this is gorgeous! you did an AMAZING job on those eyes! you should be really proud of this one!
WOW… (haha! that’s all i keep saying!) this actually might be my favorite look from you so far!
Thank you, Dusty!!
So happy to hear you liked it!
Pretty much your best look ever!
Thanks, Bethany!
Someone described shell pearls as a highlighter that gives a glow from within and I’d say that’s dead on!! The boy picked mine up because they were sold out here, so it’s sitting 4 hours away and I can’t get it until the end of April!
Aww!! At least you know it’s coming to you
So barbie! Loving the bright colours
Thank you!
i absolutely LOVEEEEEEE your lips!!
Thanks, Jenn!
I personally think its a bit much…
I not trying to be mean or anything, its just my opinion. You’ve done a lot of better looks.
Sorry you don’t like it!
I gotta be sincere.
I like the idea of the look,but the “matteness” of the eye shadows… I don’t know, it looks as if the products were cheap. I’m not loving sugarpill shadows.
I think the results could have been better witth some MAC or Urban decay eye shadows on the same tones.
There is no MAC/Urban Decay eyeshadow that comes close to the brightness of Sugarpill Dollipop, to be honest! I love the richness of Sugarpill’s eyeshadows – definitely not a cheap product, IMO.
Three letters – WOW!
Thanks, Angie!
i clicked onto temptalia.com and all i saw was this crazy pink-and-purple filling up my screen. HAHA. Great look though Christine! very lovely
LOL!
Thanks
Berry cool!… Christine do you know a good dupe for prim and proper blush I love it so much,but ran out of money to get another one, please help thanks.
Thanks, Vel!
You could try Tenderling.
soooo pretty!! love the eye! & lip must try this out!!
Thanks, Melissa!
Wow! I think it looks so pretty. Love to try it can you give me the closest Mac dupes thanks.
Hi Eveli,
MAC doesn’t have any hot pink eyeshadows that would compare to Dollipop. The best would be Bright Fuchsia pigment, but that isn’t eye safe so I wouldn’t recommend using it
The black could be duped with Carbon.
I wouldn’t wear anything like this, I’m not gutsy enough. But this look is AMAZING. like STUNNING. I have never seen anything like this! And I mean that in a good way!
The lip look really ties it together too!
This is like perfect runway eye.
Stunning, all I can do is stand in awe.
You really should give it a try, Priscilla! Wear around the house
Thank you!
I agree I don’t think Sugar pill cosmetics are really that nice. There are companies with much much better products! makeup forever has some really bright shadows. That matte flat black from sugar pill looks really dirty! I love the lip!
MUFE’s hot pink doesn’t even come close to Sugarpill’s Dollipop – it looks so sheer in comparison.
Totally agree! There are so many swatches comparing sugarpill and mufe (also some with mac and other companies) and the swatches of sugarpill are almost always brighter and look nicer. Though to be honest.. I’m more of a fan of the loose eyeshadows.
This is so cool and retro, totally reminds me of the 80′s, in a good way! haha
Thank you, Rachael!
woah, i really like this on you christine!
normally colors like that are too much for my taste but this looks hot!
Thanks so much, Beth!
wow you look amazing!! im totally inspired by the lips
Thanks a lot, Taytay!
woooww loove it!!
Thanks, Abby!
Stunning. You look absolutely gorgeous. Really suits you so well!
Thank ya, Hilana!
this is amazing! if only I could pull off something like this
You should try it, Kylie!
So pretty!!!!!
Thank you, Shannon!
That is seriously hot!
Thanks a lot, Shontay!
great application..but looks fairly clownish…
Sorry you didn’t like it, Chrish!
LOVE this look!!!! That bright pink contrasting with the purples!
Thanks, Vonvon!
ok,wow.
you look like a stunning doll in that look. suits you so well.
i could never pull off bright colors.
Thank you, Miss Anna!
Absolutely stunning:)
Thanks, Nocom!
Makeup is all about having fun, and I think that you’ve shown that with this look. It is pretty, vibrant, and fun. Very nice look!
As a side note, I can’t believe people bother posting comments that are negative and/or rude. It’s actually unbelievable to me. I don’t normally comment, but those comments were enough to motivate me.
I love it, and I think Sugarpill’s Dollipop looks amazing. I might have to pick it up. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot! I am glad you like it! Dollipop is just so vibrant – definitely worth getting if you love your bright colors!
This is so stunning, Christine! I wish you would do more looks like this. It reminds me of back in the day when I used to come on here to check out your amazing eotds. Great job!
Thanks, Temi!
i love this look on you!
so pretty:)
Thanks a lot, Norma!
love this!
i don’t know what i’d do without UD 24/7 liners and a hot pink lipstick, so this look is right up my alley
True story – 24/7 liners are great!
Thanks, Rachel!
Wow, very cool! Definbitely not everyday make up, but very pretty nonetheless.
Thank you, Anita
This is amazing!
I don’t think I can pull something like this off, but it looks amazing on you!
Try it, ya never know
Thank you!
Wow, the colors are so flattering on you. Pretty!
Thanks, Christine!
Hmmmm. I am SO doing this later! I want beautiful Iris-I wonder if Urban Decays Flash, Ecstasy, or Asphyxia will dupe for this look?
Yay! Maybe Ecstasy or Asphyxia!
This look is awesome! It really compliments your features and coloring! Good job!
Thank you, Emily!
Amazing!
Thanks, Chiara!
Love pinks and purples. Awesome look.
Aw, thanks, Sarah!
besides bright fuschia pigment (not eye safe, like you said), another hot pink i like (although not matte) is too faced mess in a dress. just another option for those who don’t like sugarpill. love this look, btw, it’s very “me,” perhaps i’ll save it for my upcoming birthday….i’ll have to replace lust with ransom and beautiful iris with UD asphyxia. i need either stars and rockets or UD fishnet…..
Thanks for the suggestion, Marisa! MUFE also has a similar hot pink (blanking on the number of it!), just not quite as pigmented so you’ll have to pack it on!
believe its #75
definitely! i just know that not everyone is as adept at using loose shadows as you are! i just LOVE this look, though, definitely one of my favorites of yours!
Mixing medium makes it <3!
This is gorgeous!
Thank ya, Darrien!
amazinggg
Thanks, Laura!
Wow great lip colour! I love this look on you actually. I think you should do more dramatic/colourful looks >_<
Thank you, Isis!
Yum yum bubblegum, haha. I am ABSOLUTELY in love with this, yay!
However, you did forget to mention using Blacktrack Fluidline on your upper lash line in the instructions section, I believe. It’s pretty self-explanatory, though, you probably won’t have to worry about whether people understood what to do with Blacktrack, haha!
Fixed that!
This looks super pretty on you! I love how you can pull this look off.
Thanks so much, Lindsay!
I really like the strong combination of the eyes and lips because they compliment each other very well. Now I want to bet Petals and Peacock lipstick!
Thanks a lot, Amy!
absolutely gorgeous look! it’s really bold but you pull it off nicely. makes me wonder if i was right to pass on petals & peacocks…
Thanks, KFM!
OH MY! Hot stuff comin’ through!
The third close-up picture looks so crisp and clean… I like. I bet you love the lip combo, don’t ya?
Thanks, Roxanne! I did!
WOW that is really nice look, I love pink and it suits you!!!
Thank you!
Did I see on twitter yesterday that you didn’t like this look? I LOVE IT!!! It’s gorgeous!
Nah, it wasn’t this one!
So cool! It’s good to know that there’s someone out there besides me who’s not afraid to wear hot pink and purple together.
They work so well together
OMG YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
A true inspiration…
I love this look so much on you! Hot pink lips dont really work for me but I might experiment (again) with it
Also your eyes are beautiful, they’re like leopard print and green and brown amazingness! Mine are just a boring flat dark brown colour :/
Aww, thank you so much!!
I get my eyes from my Grandma!
i have a question on how you prep your lips. mine tend to be very dry on my upper lip line. i have tried scrubs and using a toner on the area after washing, but nothing seems to work. your lip line is flawless and this is my only problem, i get dry flakey skins on or around my whole lip line.
What are you using to condition/moisturize your lips?
I like Philosophy’s Kiss Me Intense Lip Balm, Carmex, MAC Lip Conditioner, Chapstick…
i’ve tried everything: mac, rosebud, vaseline, etc…..
Intense! What would you wear this look for, though?
Going out!
Anywhere fun – club, hip restaurant, bar, party!
i love this look and u look so fierce and pretty in it christine! lol
Thanks, Mia!
I’m going to have to check out Sugarpill shadows. Lately everytime I’ve seen a shade in one of your looks that really catches my eye it has been from Sugarpill! I love the bold lip and cheek contouring instead of blush.
Haha ;P
LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS LOOK!!! YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!!!
Thanks, Natasha!
Your purple& pink combo is so Electric & Energetic,I definitely can’t stop staring at the gorgeous lips. It is amazing how you managed to coordinate the colors to wear strong eyes and lips. This is like my 4th time looking at the pictures,is really gorgeous, literally caught my eye!!!♥x♥x♥x♥x♥
Haha ;D Love hot pink lips!
I love this! Im really impressed how “clean” the lid is, and how its so vibrant and not totally blended with the crease ( my biggest problem!!!)
Thanks, Daria!
WOW. I have to try this look! I’m so nuts about the colour of that lipstick. *needs*
I hope you do!
You look gorgous with this makeup!!!
Thanks so much, Frances!
LOVEE THIS! You look like a glamorous rock star!!
Thank you, Brittany!
Love the lip combo! Can I get similar results with Show Orchid and True Babe?
Thank you, Monet!
Yes
Wow! Really, really pretty! I never thought that hot pink on the eyes and lips at the same time would work, but it does!
Thanks, Emily!!
I’m in love!! Seriously, this look is amazing – I’m hoping I can pull it off myself. The eyes have me hooked, the mix of matte and shimmer is pefect – I only wish I had more excuses to do a sexy and dramatic look like this.
Looks like I may have to explore Sugarpill some more, this looks so fun!
Give it a try!
THank you!
holy crap, one word: HOT
Thanks, Alisha!
This is the prettiest look I’ve seen on you! Everything goes so well together. Beautiful!
Aw, thanks, Sun!
*worships*
You… YOU ARE… okay I don’t know what to say.. you’re just… okay still don’t know.. still can’t find the words… to be a mega understatement, you are amazing.
LOL! That’s too kind!
Thank you, Mara!
I liked your face better, with thinner eyebrows. But I like this fuchsia look.
Aw, that’s too bad
ok i would where this to a rave but with out the hotpink lips so the boys dont call me a hooker
I think you could wear hot pink lips without being called a hooker!
this look is incredible
i never would have thought to use a colour like that as a highlight but it looks fab on you 
x
Thank you, Kerry!
I usually prefer more wearable looks, but this one is so eye catching! Very original and bold! Love it.
Thanks, Allison!
holy crap! gorgeous! especially with your silky black hair
Thank you, Tiffany!
God damn!! I never knew makeup can look THAT vivid. Really nice!!
Thanks, Aleia!
Oh my god I love this its so pretty and springy!
Thanks, Fuchsia!
Thanks again, Fushsia!
