My Inner Diva

I think that every woman needs to create and find an inner diva look - a mix of perfectly balanced bold eyes AND ever bolder lips.  The 'rule' is usually that you do a smokey eye with a nude lip or a bold lip with a neutral eye, but sometimes you just need to 'rock it' with glam shades and a diva attitude and go for 'bold' everything.  I wanted to create an edgy rock-star look, while still staying true to my best colours, so here is what I came up with:

For my eyes, I started with a natural toned base - navajo by bobbi brown (BB) and then applied heather mauve from the lid into the crease.  I jazzed it up with black plum eyeshadow (BB) in the crease and outer corners.  I then used lavender eyeshadow in the inner corners of the eyes and blended it into the lid - I used one of those fluffy eyeshadow brushes to blend the lavender into the heather mauve.  I then used Perma-plum liner (MAC) and with a heavy hand created a thicker line for the upper lashliner and used Mahogany shadow (BB) to smudge into the upper and lower lashlines.
I used Desert Rose blush (BB) and for my lips I used Currant lipliner (MAC) and blended in Baroque lipstick by Chanel and topped it with YSL #9 gloss - I love the finished look - check it out:

I've been creating really natural, soft looks lately, so it was nice to play around with the deeper shades and have some fun!!!
