Hard Candy Colored

Saturday I had some time on my hands and some Hard Candy to play with. Feeling inspired by Lady Gaga's look from the 2010 Grammy's I decided to do something a little crazy, it's been awhile since I've done a crazier makeup style. Usually I'm in grown up mode so I have to be a little more reserved with my makeup. Check out the look:

 
Thanks so much to Rebecca for sending over the products that allowed me to get back to the creative side. To create this look I used the following:
 
Hard Candy Kaleyedescope Eye Shadow in Bad Reputation:Use the white color every where. Bring it all the way up to the eyebrow. Use the grey color on your crease. 

To darken the eyes and make the white stand out a little better, I added Hard Candy's Metallic Shadow Stick in Glimpse. This is like the most easiest shadow you can ever apply. It's extremely easy to blend the color. If you want to create the wisps I have on the side of my eyes, take a concealer brush, or whatever round flat brush you own, and pull the color from the center of your crease out. Repeat until you have the effect your looking for. 
Next I lined my eyes with Walk the Line in Asphalt. Great creamy liquid eyeliner. You can make the line as thick or thin as you want. Just take your time, remember this is a liquid liner  your not going to get it right the first time you use it. *Makeup trick, create a dotted line on your upper lash line, then just connect the dots.*
 
For added drama, and that pop of sparkle I went with Lash Tinsel in Spellbound. It's a great glitter mascara to go with the slight glitter in Bad Reputation, and definitely pulls the look together. If your looking for more glitter on your lashes then apply a few coats, but let each coat dry before you put on the next one.

To finish off the look I went with a pale pink lip gloss, Mouthing off in Heartbreaker.   


And for my conservative chicas, using the same products I created this look for work:
