On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

There are other ways to wear pink that don't include an obvious rose or fuchsia lip or even a shocking pink liner or puce colored lid. So, yes, I am cheating again with a past look but I want this series to inspire make-up addicts to leave their comfort zone, even just temporarily. This look is about adding a hint of color to a neutral look. This is now available as a tutorial but it also featured on 5 Looks, 1 Palette: Electric Palette from last week.

MAC's Silly eyeshadow was predominantly the pink shade to intensify the crease along with a hint of UD Jilted.

Of course if you wanted to make this more pink you could substitute the chartreuse shade I used on the inner corner and waterline for either a neutral, vanilla, gold or any shade of pink.

Apart from the bright green, this eye look is all about subtlety and how it can instantly transform an everyday neutral eye.

Teamed with a pink and purple ombré  lip, this balances out the entire make-up.

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

Bit of a cheat for today but it's pink so it counts. A few weeks ago I was inspired by Karla Powell to do some pink glitter lips. Loved how they turned out.

Products & Method:
  1. Use MAC Burgundy pencil to shape them 
  2. Mixed Sleek pout paints in Pinkini and Peachy Keen for the base colour. 
  3. Pat a pink glitter on top. I mixed Stargazer UV Pink all over with Lit Cosmetics Wonder Woman on the corners and MAC 3D Silver in the centre.

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

Hi! Long time, no write/read. I can begin with apologies and reasons as to why I have been M.I.A on here but I suppose I was feeling a little overwhelmed with media platforms and a little uninspired.. So I am reigniting the passion for make-up and focusing on just a handful of social profiles (mainly YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Blogger) and starting a mini series on here and Instgram. 

Inspired by the 2004 Lindsey Lohan hit (you know what's coming as LiLo has so far only had a solo masterpiece and you have probably read the title of this post), Mean Girls, I have decided to begin an array of looks where the main focus of the look is pink. I will upload these each Wednesday via Blogger and Instagram but make sure to subscribe to my blog as more pictures will be featured here than any other platform. I may in the future recreate some looks on YouTube if they are requested. If you want to get involved please hashtag your pictures with #OnWednesdaysWeWearPink, #OWWWP and #NealaOlivia. Please also include my name @NealaOlivia on Twitter and Instagram, that way I will be sure to see all your wonderful creations. 

So here is the first look, a blown out matte neon pink eye with a shimmer centre.The full list of products will be listed at the end of this post.

I also wanted to look like I had Ariana Grande hair. Yes, I am aware there is a significant age gap. Who cares. If you love it, do it. Plus I'm pretty sure she stole my primary school hair style. Thanks mum, I always knew you would start a trend, even if it didn't catch for another twenty years.
