You know what they say: “Always be prepared…”
…to walk a red carpet with rock stars. 🙂
Because seriously, you never know.
In the event you find yourself alongside the left shark Katy P. as her plus one at a fancy awards show, you need a makeup look with an edge, maybe like this sassy red carpet rock-inspired eye with smoked-out purple liner and cool-toned lids.
Here’s a step-by-step in pics (YouTube tutorial coming later this week, and there’s also a giveaway at the bottom of this post). First, I prepped my skin with some products from Olay, then followed that up with lip colors and eye products from Covergirl (all available now at Ulta)
By the way, Ulta shoppers, from now through February 14, 2015, buy any Covergirl product, and get an extra Covergirl product for 50% off! (BOGO 50% off)

Danielle D says
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:26 amI’m so bad at styling hair that when my hair dryer broke on a trip to South America 4 years ago(darned voltage conversions!) I didn’t replace it for…like 6 months. And even now it is rare that I even blow dry it. I suffer from serious hair laziness. If a hair style can’t be achieved with beach spray and a claw clip it is beyond me.
Maribel D. says
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:27 amI love how wonderful your skin looks!

Lauren says
February 3rd, 2015 at 11:15 amI’ve been using the regenetist micro sculpting cream for a while now, and I love it, like most of their products. The luminous line is also fantastic. For an eye cream though, I grab my Roc, for the retinol. I’ve been curious to try the full lash bloom mascara, but it might just be because of the cheery pink packaging!
A Rod says

February 3rd, 2015 at 11:44 amI’m kind of an eye cream whore. I’m using Clinique’s all about eyes rich right now as well as Mario Badascu’s one with hylauranic acid but I always come back to Tarte’s maracuja cream. It’s nice and emollient but absorbs completely.
Thanks for the contest.
Crystal says
February 3rd, 2015 at 11:45 amMy hairstyling skills are like a -2. If I couldn’t straighten my hair, I’d probably be bald. Seriously so lacking. Lol.

February 3rd, 2015 at 11:46 amMy hairstyling skills are pretty mediocre, a 4 out of 10 at best. I’ve never figured out how to do an “updo” right.
Liz says
February 3rd, 2015 at 11:47 amwhile I think my makeup skills are pretty decent, my hair styling is limited to brushing it and basic ponytails. I don’t even dry it unless I’m visiting a place where the temps are below freezing.

February 3rd, 2015 at 12:48 pmThe best eye cream IMO is the Tarte Maracuja eye cream & Indie Lee eye balm. The absolute worst was the one from Neutrogena with the retinol. It made my fine lines worse!!!

I started using the Beautiful Skin Rich Hydrating Eye Cream. So far, so good! It really hydrates & is gentle even when I get it close to my eyes.
GPATRICK says
February 3rd, 2015 at 7:00 pmMy tried and tested eye cream has always been Philosophy’s Hope in a Tube. It’s a simple, glycerin and vitamin based formula but it’s pleasantly thick and works well with makeup. 🙂

Nicole - Beyond the Pale and Freckled says
February 4th, 2015 at 4:36 amHad to laugh about the comment suggestion for hairstyling skills, mine are laughable indeed. Thankfully now it’s long and naturally wavy, so it’s not completely obvious that I put zero effort into it 95% of the time. 😉

February 4th, 2015 at 10:02 amLove this look! It’s just different enough, and I would have never thought to use those colors for a smokey eye.
Princess says

Tracy says
February 4th, 2015 at 1:19 pmI have to know what you’ve been doing for your skin because it looks amazing! My skin is by no means terrible but I’m always trying to tone down the redness in my cheeks so I can wear blush. Sounds
counterintuitive but I think you know what I mean.

Stephanie says
February 4th, 2015 at 8:54 pmAwesome questions! I’d rate my hair styling skills as a 3, mostly because I don’t have the patience or time to be more creative.
Bria says
February 4th, 2015 at 9:49 pmHair skills: 0. Once I tried to curl my hair for a wedding and I had to have my husband do it for me because I was so terrible. My family thought it was very funny!

Christy Peeples DuBois says
February 5th, 2015 at 9:22 pmMy hairstyling skills are probably a 3. But I haven’t practiced and I was grown before I ever let my hair grow all one length. Even missy says she couldn’t do anything well the first time that it took practice. Anyway, you do look Red Carpet Ready!!! I love the nude palette you used first, just gorgeous on you. Thanks for this opportunity.

Claudia Davis says
February 6th, 2015 at 10:59 pmWhat’s your birthstone? RUBY which I love but the really nice ones are SO expensive. I bought a ruby ring in a antique type setting and although I love the ring, I constantly compare it to my friends ring who has the most gorgeous ruby stone in her ring. It just really stands out and is BEAUTIFUL (I still love MY setting more).

Pamela Haddad says
February 10th, 2015 at 12:01 pmFirst of all, you are rockin’ that look! I love the Notice Me Nude pallete! It is beautiful! Ok, since we share a love of felines, did you see that guy who spent $50k to make his home an amazing house for all his cats?! It is a bit much, but I’d like to incorporate some of the ideas, like having shelf walkways for them and scratching posts attached to the walls so they can climb up to the walkways. Kinda cool! Here’s the link or you can just go to pet360.com. Enjoy! ~ Pam

Anne Marie says
February 11th, 2015 at 8:17 pmI love this palette, and the look you put together with it is great! I’ll have to swing in to Walgreens and pick up one to give it a try! Having just started blogging again (specifically with a beauty blog), I’m always on the hunt for new products to try out. I’ve never shopped at Ulta, so between the items in your giveaway and the $50 gift card would definitely help me grab a few things for my first haul and Ulta review! Thanks for the chance 🙂
