Tutorial: L’oreal Project Runway Palette, “Audacious Amazon’s Gaze,” Color-Block Eye Look

 

While attempting to come up with a makeup look using my L’oreal Project Runway Palette in Audacious Amazon’s Gaze, I literally found myself staring at the palette over and over again, drawing no creativity at all. My final creation was very spontaneous, and I decided to take the colors and create an 80′s-inspired eye look that is colorful but still wearable.

Autumn 2011 Lookbook: Revlon Gucci Westman Expressionists Collection, “Violet Frenzy” Super Lustrous Lipstick, Photographs & Swatches

 

It seems like every single year Gucci Westman, makeup artist and creative director for Revlon, has come out with a smash-hit limited edition makeup collection for Revlon. The Expressionists Collection is truly a beautiful collection, and when I stumbled across the display at CVS last night, I was tempted to grab one of everything. The nail polish from the collection is glittery and glamorous, the eyeshadow is shimmery and chic, and the lip colors are perfect for fall and winter. Violet Frenzy is one of the lipsticks from this collection, and I originally picked it up because the color intimidated me in the packaging. You will almost never find me grabbing for dark, vampy lipstick shades, but I decided to be brave and give it a chance. You’ll be surprised to learn that this lipstick is nowhere near as scary as it looks in the tube, and it applies a gorgeous berry-purple shade to your lips.
