Electric Eyes and Urban Decay Wired

February 25th, 2020 by Karen 12 Comments

Hello? Is anyone there? Hellooooo. It’s me, Karen, calling on my fruit phone, because this eye makeup is BANANAS. 🍌🍌🍌

There’s a lot going on here, I know! Not my usual neutral style at all, but I was inspired by the rainbow eye makeup on the model for the new Wired pressed pigment palette. 🌈

Plus, I was in the mood to try something new, which I highly recommend doing as often as possible, even if your cat is the only creature around to appreciate it…

Or, maybe not, since I can’t tell if Rosie likes brights! 🐈

Just in case you’re wondering, the fallout on this isn’t an issue. I hardly had to do any cleanup with a makeup wipe, which was great, but I could have done with more intensity.

I had to boost the boldness of the blue and green by building up layers with a wet brush.

Because there’s enough color on my lids to rival a rainbow unicorn mane, I opted to keep the lips subtle with a peachy coral lipstick and gloss (MAC Fleur D’Coral Lipstick and Painted Lady Lipglass), and then topped things off with a soft wash of peach blush using a mix of MAC Cheer Up and That’s Peachy Glow Play Blush.

Even though this look isn’t exactly wearable, I think you should try it at least once with whichever brights you have on hand. There’s very little actual blending, and the hardest part, which wasn’t really that hard, was mapping out the placement of the blue eyeshadow — it’s tricky to figure out just how high up to go and how far to take it out, and I didn’t get the final idea of what made sense for my eye shape until I got to the very end and could make adjustments.

So, if you’re going to go for it, and I hope you do, know that it will probably look wonky-wonks until you get to the end…because then you can fully see whatever you need to tweak more clearly.

PROPS IF YOU’D ACTUALLY WEAR THIS OUT! I don’t have the guts. ☺️

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    So pretty! You look like a tropical bird! I see people out with crazier makeup so if I was skilled enough to do this look I would wear it out, at least to the grocery store!

    It’s very 80s music video (and rainbow unicorn, of COURSE). I love it! 🙂 I won’t wear any eyeshadow that’s not pink or brown in public but I definitely appreciate it on others. Did I tell you about the fella a couple of years ago at Sephora that had rainbow eyebrows? Very attention getting!

        Agreed! 🙂 I can’t imagine how many millions of posters were sold, too. Every girl I knew had at least one.

    I love it when you do a bright look! Brights look so beautiful on you, Karen!

    You know what Wired reminds me of? The Electric palette. Now THAT was a palette worth living for.

    I was totally gonna say it reminds of an on Cindy Lauper CD I have (80s music)!! I say the previous commenter and I were on the same page 🙂
    Just love the colors on you and so refreshing! I adore you and your blog. I appreciate the approach to make up you offer and I love how authentic you are in your posts.
    I can’t wait to get some color on! Spring is quickly approaching and I’m seeing such such fun colors pop up. Super adorable and sassy!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
