Simple, yet striking look. Lately I’ve been inspired by futuristic glamour icons like Barbarella, Leeloo and Lady Gaga. They are sexy, kick ass, and their makeup is always superb! By the way, I went to Lady Gaga’s album launch party and it was incredible! Check out her video, Poker Face.

Eyes

Mystique Blue is one of my ‘flat’ colors. It’s super-pigmented and has no shimmer whatsoever. An stunning combination with the high-shimmer Circus Girl yellow. I usually like to start out with the lighter colors and blend in the darker ones in later – but that’s just my preference. It works either way!

Prep eyes with eyeshadow base or foundation. Apply yellow in the center, inner corner and under the eye. Blue is applied everywhere in between. The trick here is not to overblend – you want each color to be distinct, blended only at the edge.

Apply black liquid liner on the waterline and on top lid. What I did here is called a ‘cat eye’ – when eyeliner is extended from top and bottom and slightly upwards, elongating the eye. Apply 2 coats of black mascara on top and bottom lashes.

Face

Tip: When buying foundation, look for color that matches your chin and neck, not your cheeks. Otherwise you’ll end up with one too dark and too pink. :)

Liquid foundation is awesome for emulating that unrealistically-smooth, robot-like skin. Moisturize your face and apply foundation evenly with a foam sponge. Use concealer under the eyes, around the nose, and on any dark spots. Set with a small amount of Sheer Magic Finishing Pixie Dust. Apply pale pink blush on cheeks.

Lips

I wanted my lips to look oversexed and robot-like, so I came up with this weird shape that’s really full on the bottom and top. Outline the lips with hot pink or nude liner, then fill in with hot pink lipstick. I used Revlon Wild Orchid which is not the best-smelling lipstick, but the color is one of my favorites. Voila!
