NICKI MINAJ INSPIRED LOOK

In October 2012, I went to see Nicki Minaj at the Liverpool Echo Arena. For the concert, I knew I wanted my makeup to standout so I decided to do something based on one of Nicki's looks. I used the images below for my inspiration.....

As Always I start by priming my Eyes with Urban Decay primer potion..then i took just a matte pastel pink colour from manly palette & applied this all over my life up until my crease line. I then added to the outer V of my Eye a purple eyeshadow by Mac called Parfait Amour & a deeper purple by Urban Decay called Vice. Blending the 3 shadows together using Mac's 217 brush.

Once this is done I used one of my chunky glitters in the Colour Marshmallow for my lids, i applied this with Stargazer Fixing Gel carefully into the lid. Then going back to the outer V adding Carbon by Mac & blending this in, taking the product more out into a defined line giving a winged effect! After blending all of those colour together neatly, for the inner corner of the eye I used a pigment called bubblegum (pink) and pressed this into the corner bringing it up slightly over the glitter into the crease.

For Liquid Liner I used NYC (New york colour) glossy black liner (available from superdrug) Mac's gel liner in black track for the lower lash line & a thick pair of double lashes from Eylure Style #204 which look very similar to the style lash nicki wears. (Will link lash website at bottom)

For my Face Makeup I use illamasqua Satin Primer for my base, I then use a real techniques stippling brush to apply my Foundation (Mac Studio Fix Fluid Nw22). I use MakeupForever HD concealer pen (pink beige) to highlight underneath my eyes, & down then centre of my nose. Setting this with Ben Nye banana powder!! For this look I use Mac Mineralise skin finish (give me Sun) for my bronzer, illamasqua powder blush (tweak)

& TheBalms highlighter MaryLou Manizer for top of my cheek bones!! Lips products are Mac Viva Glam Nicki & magenta lip liner.
