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.

Thank you, Tiffany!
I usually prefer more wearable looks, but this one is so eye catching! Very original and bold! Love it.
Thanks, Allison!
this look is incredible :D i never would have thought to use a colour like that as a highlight but it looks fab on you :D x
Thank you, Kerry!
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!
I liked your face better, with thinner eyebrows. But I like this fuchsia look.
Aw, that's too bad :(
*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!
This is the prettiest look I've seen on you! Everything goes so well together. Beautiful!
Aw, thanks, Sun!
holy crap, one word: HOT
Thanks, Alisha!
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! :D THank you!
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!! :)
Love the lip combo! Can I get similar results with Show Orchid and True Babe?
Thank you, Monet! Yes :D
LOVEE THIS! You look like a glamorous rock star!!
Thank you, Brittany!
You look gorgous with this makeup!!!
Thanks so much, Frances!
WOW. I have to try this look! I'm so nuts about the colour of that lipstick. *needs*
I hope you do!
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!
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!
LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS LOOK!!! YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!!!
Thanks, Natasha!
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
i love this look and u look so fierce and pretty in it christine! lol
Thanks, Mia!
Intense! What would you wear this look for, though?
Going out! :) Anywhere fun - club, hip restaurant, bar, party!
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.....
OMG YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I love this look so much on you! Hot pink lips dont really work for me but I might experiment (again) with it :D A true inspiration... 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!
