Happy Monday lovelies! So, I know we spend a lot of time on fashion “must-do’s”, but after watching my favorite pop songstress Lady Gaga’s uber-racy new video LoveGame, I thought this would be the perfect time to change the course and talk about other ways to be fashionable. Enter the beautician…Lady G’s make-up in this video is so glam and totally perfect for summer. It’s light, fresh and it utilizes the season’s hottest color – purple! Love, love, LOVE.
As a blonde myself, I have been itching to try this look for approximately four days and counting. Even though me and Gaga are blonde, I’m not counting brunettes out – this look is versatile and it will be fantastical on you too! So, how can you get this frosty purple make-over? I did a little shop shop on the world wide web and found all of the products you’ll need to channel our girl Lady G.
First, let’s start with the pout –try the the Lip Attitude Star lipstick in
mauve scandal (#10) from my fav beauty supply stop, Sephora. This has some sparkle but its also slightly sheer so it won’t look too cartoonish. And. speaking from experience, the Sephora brand products are great – I highly recommend them, especially when I’m shopping for specialty cosmetics that I will only use a few times. They are affordable and they last!
After your pout is totally kissable, focus on the eyes – the windows to your soul (puke!) Try the Colorful strass mono eyeshadow from Sephora in
purple shimmer (#15) over a layer of the
jumbo eye pencil in Violet (505Y). The jumbo eye pencil will create a cool metallic base for the shadow so that it stays put and doesn’t fade when you hit the party scene. Remember, the more shadow you apply the darker it will appear so only apply enough to get an obvious purple tint to your eye. Too much make-up is never attractive…we don’t want to cover your beauty, we want to enhance it!
After you get the purple party on your eyes, line your lids with my all time favorite make-up product from M.A.C –
the Fluidliner in Black Track. Create a sexy cat eye on you top eye lid and finish it off with a thin black line on the bottom. Don’t go overboard with the liner though, we want to keep the focus on the girliness of the purple shadows. This liner will stay put all night and you won’t have to worry about checking to the mirror to see if it’s running down your face. It’s not. I promise!
To finish off the eyes, paint your lashes with this new mascara from Ulta Cosmetics –
LastBlast Lux by CoverGirl. I swear by this mascara; it doesn’t run or smear, and the lux line is especially fancy because it has hints of sparkle in the tube so when you apply it to your lashline you will get instant eye color enhancement. Work those baby blues…or greens, or browns…
And finally, my beauty must-do for the summer, and the perfect accessory to this frosty summer look - the bold brow. As a blonde I suffer from “light blonde eyebrow” syndrome. Fixable, yes but I’d rather just have dark eyebrows, seriously. That said, I am obsessed with a bold brow – we all want what we can’t have, right? Well fear not “LBE’s”, I found the secret sauce - the ultimate tool to give the perfect faux bold brow,
Benefit Cosmetics Instant Brow Pencil. Just trace your brow line with this pencil a few times to get the desired shade and wah-la - a perfect bold brow to offset the lighter shades of your make up.
There you have it ladies, the Lady Gaga Purple Ice Princess makeover. Now go play the LoveGame – and don’t forget, we don’t hate that game or the players! We only hate what you’re wearing when you forget the fashion rules! More beauty tips on the way, stay tuned! xoxo,
