Stormy: Violet and Navy Eye with Matte Pink Lips (Revlon Stormy Pink) —- Been away on a work trip, and took the chance to stock up on some Revlon goodies at the Dutyfree Shops. (Haul details in another post.) One of the lipsticks I got was Revlon's Stormy Pink Matte Lipstick, and I have to say this is one of the most gorgeous pinks I have seen in a long while, although the texture and opacity does leave something to be desired in my opinion.  (And I thought I finally found a drugstore dupe for MAC Pink Nouveau…) —- Step 1: Apply a medium satin/matte purple over the inner 3/4 of the lids. I used a soft purple from the 88 palette.  —- Step 2: Using a matte navy blue, blend into the outer corners and up slightly along the hollows of the sockets. I chose Revlon Matte in Riviera Blue. The shadow will blend into an indigo or blue-violet as it hits the original purple.   —- Step 3: With a navy liner, line the water line and upper lash line. I like MAC Blooz for this, but most drugstore brands have a pearlescent navy that will do just as well.  —- Step 4: Apply black mascara or black wispy lashes to complete the look.  —- Cheeks and Lips: I used a hot pink blush (NYX Pinky) high along the cheekbones, and then a cool-toned medium pink from Revlon (Stormy Pink*) on the lips. *To get the sheer, patchy, cakey texture to work, I filled in my lips first with NYX Dolly Pink liner, and then ran a tiny touch of non-shiny lip balm over it. This creates a smooth base, which helps the lipstick to adhere and look more opaque.
