Look - Bright Teals, Blues, and a Touch of Purple

Posted On: 11/3/08

Posted in: Blue, Gold, Looks, Purple, Teal

I’m totally rocking out to Travis Barker’s remix of Soulja Boy’s “Crank That.” It’s basically one of the most awesome things I’ve ever heard! As much as I’d love to listen to this on repeat for another hour or so, I need to head out and walk Mellan for a bit… and probably hit up Starbucks’ while doing so. Ahh, if only I had will power!

You will need the following…

Eyes: Teal pigment (teal base), Goldmine eyeshadow (true gold), Shimmermoss eyeshadow (teal), Electric Eel eyeshadow (bright blue), Deep Truth eyeshadow (dark blue), Climate Blue eyeshadow (dark indigo), Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow (green-toned gold), Prescriptives’ Grotto Kohl Liner (green-teal), Lancome Oscillation mascara (black)
Cheeks: Enough Said blush (soft peach), NARS Super Orgasm blush (pink with peach)
Lips: Velvet Teddy lipstick (semi-matte nude), Vital Spark lipglass (orange-gold)
Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
Substitutes: Climate Blue = Parfait Amour + Contrast; Enough Said = bronzer; Vital Spark = Instant Gold

Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Teal pigment all over the lid as the base with the 249. On the inner lid, apply Goldmine eyeshadow using the 239. Apply Shimmermoss to the middle of the lid, overlaying it with Goldmine. Overlay the middle lid using Electric Eel eyeshadow, leaving about 1/4th of the lid left. Darken outer fourth of lid with Deep Truth eyeshadow, then gently sweep into crease. Deepen crease by gently patting Climate Blue eyeshadow into the crease with the 239 brush. Sweep Gorgeous Gold underneath the brow bone to highlight. Pat lower lash line with Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow using the 219. Finish with Prescriptives’ Grotto kohl liner on lower lash line, and Lancome Oscillation mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Enough Said & NARS Super Orgasm using the 129. Apply Velvet Teddy lipstick to lips, and then top with Vital Spark lipglass for color and shine.

I don’t think I will ever in a hundred years (okay, 10 years) have come up with this combination on my own! Your make-up is absolutely stunning!!

A little overboard for just a walk around the neighborhood though… :P My dog likes the smell of make-up. He’ll lick it off my face if I’d let him!

Reply to this comment

Aww!! I’m sure you’d stumble on it :P

LOL, ahh, well, I am the QUEEN of more-makeup-than-necessary ;)

Thank you so much! Shimmermoss is permanent, but it’s just a medium teal!

Reply to this comment

One of your best teal look ever!

Aww, thanks, Theresa!

I finally see Mellan again! Our puppy looks that way too whenever I do my make-up ’cause he knows I’m gonna go somewhere and he wants to tag along. :)

Reply to this comment

Aww ;) Mellan is like that when I put a jacket or get close to shoes. He looks up and you know he’s saying, “So, where ya takin’ me?”

Reply to this comment

I LOVE how blues look on you!!

Reply to this comment

Thank you so much!

Reply to this comment

So beautiful. I love the cheeks.

Reply to this comment

Thank you, Eniana :)

Reply to this comment

I love those lips! And that is saying a lot as I’m not usually a fan of such pale lips. But you’ve made this look so good I think I need to give it a try

Reply to this comment

Thank you, Angi! With eyes so bold, I’m always drawn to pale lips!

Reply to this comment

I LOVE this!! You are just like me! I will go to the cornerstore with makeup on, I don’t care!!!

Reply to this comment

Thank youuu, Erin!

Haha, that’s me, too, FOR SURE.

Reply to this comment

I love, love, love the cheek combo! I can’t wait to try this with Enough Said and my Orgasm blush (I don’t have Super Orgasm) to see if it’s similar.

Mellan is so cute, as always!

Reply to this comment

Thanks, Chrissy!

Orgasm and Super Orgasm are sooo similar, you definitely don’t need both ;) You should love the combo!

Reply to this comment

Are you using anything different on face? I envy the flawless look. What products did you use?

Reply to this comment

Nope, same ol’, same ol’. Studio Fix Fluid! :)

Reply to this comment

This is gorgeous! It reminds me of a beautiful mermaid. Love it:-)

Reply to this comment

Ohh, yay! Thanks, Miss B!

Reply to this comment

Oh you are the best! I adore this combo! And Mellan… such a cutie!

Reply to this comment

Aww, you are too sweet! Thank you, love :)

Reply to this comment

B-E-A-UTIFUL! Gonna try this tomorrow because I have every color you used! Yeah!
FYI, I think you should include a photo of Mellan with every Look because he is sooo darn cute and I happen to be a dog lover as I’m sure many of your fans are!!

Reply to this comment

i agree! mellan is the icing on the cake when i get to see him :)

Reply to this comment

Aww :) He’ll be happy to hear it!

Reply to this comment

YAY! I hope you tried it, Cassie :)

I will try to include more photos of Mellan :)

Reply to this comment

Have you thought of using Mellan as an inspiration of an white-yellow-gold look, kind of sister look?

Nice colorful look. But I think it might look better with more lighter colors or space between your eyebrows and the dark blue eye shadow, cause the dark blue is very dominant.

Reply to this comment

I think I’ve done a look or two like that, though not inspired by Mellan!

Thanks for the tip, Nicole! :)

Reply to this comment

Awesome look! So Hot!

Thanks, Beverly!!

Reply to this comment

Christine, I wish I had your colouring..this is such a gorgeous look, but I would look ridiculous wearing these intense colours..*sigh*
I really like how the e/s match your shirt. The “make up police” is rolling their eyes right now, but I really like doing that.
And- Mellan..aaaaaaw! He is such a sweety!! How is he healthwise?

Reply to this comment

Awww, I don’t believe you’d look ridiculous at all!!

Thank youuu! I always have to match or coordinate.

He’s doing the same for the most part. His hips pop in and out occasionally, but otherwise there’s no real indication anything is wrong with him. And he’s always running around as soon as his hip is back in, so even that doesn’t seem to bother him.

Reply to this comment

Oh, this is soooo pretty!

I might have to steal this look from you, Christine. :)

Reply to this comment

Thanks, Laura!

Feel free ;)

Reply to this comment

I’m loving the gradient effect!

Reply to this comment

Thanks, Kellie!

Reply to this comment

Pretty girl! I love the skin in this, flawless with a subtle glow. Perfect. & CUTE PUP! :D

Reply to this comment

Thanks, Kella!! :)

Reply to this comment

I find it funny how some ppl are saying that it’s too much for a walk with the pup…. I never leave my house without makeup! There’s nothing wrong with looking hot.

Reply to this comment

lol! I am trying this new thing where I do my makeup everyday. We’ll see how long I can manage it!

Reply to this comment

You look phenomenal!
I wish I could pull of teals, damn my blue eyes!

Reply to this comment

Pshh, you could, Emmie!!

Reply to this comment

I always liked this look on you, Chris!
Ur a stunner!

Reply to this comment

Thank you, Sash ;)

Reply to this comment

Can you make a tutorial of this look? It’s amazing!

Reply to this comment

I’ll try, Shaleen!

Reply to this comment

I love this look! It is of of my favorite of the looks you have done. Quick question - what would be a sub for Vital Spark?

Reply to this comment

Thank you!

It’s an orangey-brown kind of color. You could try Instant Gold.

Reply to this comment

Oooooh, soooo gorgeous!!!

Reply to this comment

Thanks a ton, Brittany!! :)

Reply to this comment

So pretty!
I love it!!
I wish I could bring you to LA to teach me how to do eye makeup…
;)

Your doggie is a cutie.

Reply to this comment

Thank you, Michelle! Awwww, I’m flattered!

Reply to this comment

PHENOMENALLY STUNNING I LOVE YOU CHRISTINE!!!!

PS GO OBAMAAAAA :))))

Reply to this comment

Thanks, Christina!! :)

Reply to this comment

Christine: Which eyeshadow did you use on the outer-v area? Was it ‘Deep Truth’?

Reply to this comment

Deep Truth & Climate Blue!

Reply to this comment

the lips are great but the eyes are a mess.. they so don’t go with the rest of the face…

Reply to this comment

What makes them not go with the face? I’d love to be able to improve, but I’m not seeing what you are seeing, so any help would be appreciated.
