INSPIRATION: “The look is full glamour — Michelle Pfeiffer from Scarface 1983.” — Christian McCulloch

Eyes

  • Contrast, Prussian, and Shadowy Lady eyeshadows — blended together and pulled out from the center of the eye along the crease and lower lash lines for a blue gray smoky eye.
  • Dalliance Mega Metal Eyeshadow (2011) to highlight the inner corners of the eyelids.
  • Dangerous Cuvee Paint Pot (2011) blended together on the center of the eyelids.
  • Haute & Naughty Lash in Black with two coats applied to both upper and lower lashes.

Lips

  • Subculture Lip Pencil to fill in the lips.
  • Morange lipstick patted over the liner for an orangey red stain.

Face

  • MAC PRO Cherche Blushcreme and MAC PRO Shadester Sculpting Powder to contour just beneath the cheek bones.

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

im not a fan of the orangey colored lips… not on other people but on myself it looks very much clownish and seems to make my skin tone appear more yellow!

love the eyes! Wish there were better pics, eyes closed… I don’t care for orange lips either but it’s my coloring, can’t wear that with out looking absurd.

New paint pot? Yummy!
