FOTD Bright lips Blue eye shadow

I was going for the look of the new Shiseido ad or the cover of Allure with Taylor Swift on it. Both feature bright red lips. For the sense of vibrancy, it reminded me of Anja's look in a Theme Week at Aromaleigh.

Shiseido's ad is likely photo shopped to get such white skin. What a gorgeous picture! What a gorgeous woman!

You can see the Allure cover, here.

I used the lightest shade of makeup I have, which is too light for me, then used white liquid highlighter over much of it to get it even lighter.

It's too red and too bright for day unless it were December, but we are going to a party tonight, and I think the look will translate well.

Sorry for the smudge here on the eye. I took care of it after the pictures.

Eyes: AL Balsam in crease
Pencil lined: Maybelline navy blue on top; MAC Light as Air, bright blue on lower with Sephora Flashy Silver white in the waterline
Dry Lined: AL Swank top and lower
Then AL Spaceoddity, then AL disintegration rocks! glam glitter to bring it more turquoise like the Shiseido ad
Brows: La Prairie pencil

Primer: AL
Foundation: Tova cream Lightest of lightest duo
Highlight: Clinique Zero Base A white, very shimmery liquid. I'd prefer it to be half as shimmery.
Powder: my sparkly mix
Lips: Shiseido 104

What do you think?
