A look for the Superbowl!

At the risk of sounding completely un-American, I'm going to let you in on a secret... I don't watch football (or baseball for that matter haha).  But, especially since being on facebook, I know that sooo many people do and they get so hyped up about these games.  And I figured with the Superbowl being on Sunday I would do a look that's super colorful and over the top that I think is perfect for an event like a Superbowl party!

With that being said, my look today is based on the New York Giants.  I'm sorry if you hate them, they're just who I picked because I'm from New York (although technically New York is part of New England, so I win even if the Patriots win).  But the Giants colors are blue, white, and red.  So I went with that!

My inspiration!


My look!

See how red my hair is?  Whoops.  That would be choosing the wrong color dye!



I tried really to not over-blend the red and blue because I didn't want this to come out purple, I want it to be clearly red and blue.  At the same point, I really didn't want just a chunk of red and a chunk of blue.  So I think I did alright.

What I used:
TFSI
NYX JEP "Milk"
Inglot DS 496 (white)
NYX "Black" shadow
Glamour Doll Eyes "Mingles" (blue)
Sugarpill's "Love +" (red) with a bit of a deeper red from my 88 palette added in
MAC Blacktrack fluidline
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara
Halloween lashes
Calypso Minerals "Red Glitter" mixed into NYX Candy Glitter liner in "Silver" along inner part of bottom lashline

I think adding a red lip would take this look to the next level, I just have to go out so I don't feel comfortable wearing a red lip.

I also wanted to show you the Glamour Doll Eyes color I used for this look today.  It's called "Mingles" and it's a stunning royal blue color that's almost an exact dupe for my beloved Calypso Minerals "True Blue."

*Edit* I know this color is beautiful but I just found out that Calypso Minerals has been taking people's money and not sending them the products they've ordered.  So please don't order from them!  I'm so sorry!*


"Mingles" is on the left and "True Blue" is on the right


They're both completely matte and absolutely gorgeous.  I think True Blue is just slightly brighter but they're VERY similar.  "Mingles" is $6 from Glamour Doll Eyes and "True Blue" is $7 from Calypso Minerals so there's not a huge price difference.  You can't go wrong with either one!

I hope you guys like the look I came up with!  If you rock crazy makeup for the superbowl, you'll have to post it somewhere and leave me a link because I'd love to see it!  Thank you guys so much!!
