Colorful Carnival Makeup

As Easter is approaching this weekend, and Carnival next weekend, I wanted to do a tutorial that incorporates super bright and really fun colors onto my makeup. This Colorful Carnival Makeup look is inspired by the ladies in Jamaica, who are unafraid to wear bright eyeshadows!

I used Sleek Makeup Ultra Matte Brights V1 for the eyeshadows since I really wanted to use matte eyeshadows for this look. If you do decide to use this palette for your makeup, I suggest that you use a white base (i.e. NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk) so the colors pop even more.

Again, don’t forget to check my Instagram for daily updates since I’ll be away from my laptop this weekend! Remember to TAG your work with #KIREIMAKEUP so I can see and get inspired by YOU! 😉

How-to:

1. I prepped my eyelid using NYX Jumbo Pencil Shadow in Milk on both upper and lower lid.

2. I applied Pucker in the middle of my eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

3. Using the same brush, I applied Pout on the outer part of my eyelid.

4. Using a clean shader brush, I blended out the edge of Pucker and Pout to remove any harsh edge.

5. I applied Bammi on the inner corner of the eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

6. (Optional) I applied Sugarlite on my crease using a small shader brush. Optional step since the purple isn’t dark enough.

7. (Not in picture) I applied Floss on the crease using a blending brush as a transition color.

8. I lined my upper lash line with Kanebo Kate Super Sharp Eyeliner. On my waterline, I applied L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

9. On the lower lid I used an angled eyebrow brush and  applied Chill on the inner corner, Bolt in the middle, and Dragonfly on the outer part.

10. I curled my lashes and applied Cover Girls Lash blast mascara on both upper and lower lashes.

11. I also applied Gwiyomi “Yuki” False Eyelashes (Indonesian store, check my Instagram if you want to buy).

12. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Ash Blonde and Brunette.rainbow makeup

13. On my face, I applied Cover FX cream foundation in G40 using MAC Masterclass Brush Oval 6.

14. Very lightly, I applied Cover FX cream foundation in G20 under my eyes. I set my base using CoverFX translucent powder.

15. On my cheeks, I applied MAC Dainty blush.

16. I lined my lips using L’oreal Color Riche Lip Liner in Beyond Pink, and applied MAC Please Me Lipstick using a lip brush.

Fiery

As mentioned previously and on twitter, I’m having a breakout on my face and so I decided to do just a tutorial for the eyes. I apologize, but there were 2 very persistent ones right above my lips and 1 on the cheek that’s super painful. Anyhow, I hope those pesky pimples will be gone soon. I also just ran out of my benzoyl peroxide (I bought one from Canada), and couldn’t find a replacement for it in Jakarta yet. If anyone has any recommendation, let me know.

For the tutorial, I wanted to use my Sleek Makeup Ultra Matte Brights v1 palette since I find it quite hard to use this palette. I find a difficult time blending the eyeshadow from this palette, and since the colors are matte, I also find it quite hard to create depth for my eyes. However, I actually think I quite nailed this look. I love the combination of the yellow and the bright pink. I know this might not be a wearable look since it’s extremely bright, but I had a fun time doing it. Might work for Halloween or for whoever love wearing bright makeup.

How-to:

1. Using a synthetic brush, I applied PAC face paint cream in Yellow all over my eyelid.

2. I applied PAC face paint cream in Shocking Pink on the outer V and on the crease using a synthetic art brush.

3. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied Bammi from Sleek Makeup iDivine v1 palette on the eyelid.

4. Using a small fluffy brush, I applied Pucker from the same palette on the outer V and on the crease lightly.

5. Using a smaller more dense brush (similar to a small shader brush), I applied Sugarlite from the palette on the crease only.

6. I applied Sugarlite on the lower lid using a smudge brush.

7. (not in picture), I also applied a black matte eyeshadow brush on the outer corner of the lower lid using an angled brush.

8. Using Sigma eyeliner brush, I applied MUFE Aqua Black along the upper lash line creating a winged liner.

9. I lined my waterline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner pencil.

10. I filled in my brows using Shu Uemura Hard Formula 9 Brow Pencil.

11. I curled my lashes and applied Maybelline Volume Express Turbo Boost on both upper and lower lashes.
