When it comes to makeup, achieving a total rockstar worthy look is extremely simple! I like to combine all the elements of glitz and glamour with some elements of edginess to them (mile-long fake lashes, anyone?). I took my favorite color in the entire world, purple, and made that my main eyeshadow color. To really amp it up and make myself feel like a pop-star during a concert, I added mile-long false lashes and loads of purple glitter that sparkles like crazy. To achieve this look:
- Apply an eyeshadow primer or base. This step is really important, especially if you are going to be piling on the eyeshadow, glitter, and liner like I am. Concealer will work if you have nothing else, as well.
- Apply a purple eyeshadow over your entire eyelid, through the crease, and blend. You can use your favorite color, which is what I did, and the purple really brings out my blue-green eyes. I used L’oreal “Perpetual Purple” eyeshadow for this look.
- Apply black liquid liner to your upper lash line, and smudge black liner on your lower waterline. Smudge, smudge, smudge! This is a rockstar look, so get a little messy and don’t be afraid to have it intentionally look that way. Black eyeliner is a must-have for that rockstar appeal.
- Apply purple or iridescent glitter on top of your eyeshadow. I used Sally Girl’s glitter and glitter adhesive (available at any Sally Beauty Supply store), and applied it right on top of my eyeshadow.
- Apply false lashes. Rock out hard on this step and go with the longest, darkest, most dramatic lashes you can find! I applied really dark, long, thick eyelashes for that extremely dramatic look.
I kept the rest of the look simple by applying some peachy-pink blush, and a nude-pink lipstick. My eyes are the focus of this look!
The finished look is my go-to “rockstar” makeup look. It’s perfect for a concert, a night out on the town, or when you’re on your way to New York Fashion Week…
