Music Genre Series: Rock

When I think of Rock I think of Rock I think of purple and as cheesy as it sounds royalty! I also think of Steven Tyler and Mic Jager, so I took a lot of inspiration from them.













Of course always start with Too Faced Shadow Insurance (or any eyelid primer of your choice) After that I used Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Zero all over the lid and smudged it out. Next I used the Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette on most of the colors. The first color was Underland on top of the Zero. Then I mixed Mushroom and Vorpal in the crease.oI put Jabberwocky in the outer v and on the smudged it on the lower lashline. That was basically going to be the look, but I thought it was too clean for  rock, so I added Urban Decay Alice on the inner crease, and normally I wouldn't blend too much because it becomes muddy, but I thought hmmm...this is rock, so I did blend it. I left a little bit of just Alice peeking through, because it really is a beautiful color. For a brow and tear duct highlight I used Sugarpill's Tako (I think this is becoming my go to brow highlight). To finish off the eyes I used Maybelline Volum' Express One by One in Very Black and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner on the upper lashline and Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Zero in the water line and used Ardell's 21s for false lashes, just to add some more volume. For blush I used Benefit Dallas

Music Genre Series: R&B

For this look I drew a lot of inspiration from Beyonce`. When I think of Beyonce` I think of lots of gold, but yet still very natural.











For starters use an eyelid primer, I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Then I put E.L.F Bronzer in Sun Kissed on the inner lid, and from the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. II I used Half Baked on the outer 2/3 of the lid and then Too Faced Like A Virgin (from the Pixie Pin-Up palette).  Again from the Urban Decay palette I mixed Perversion and Twice Baked and put it in the outer v with a Essence of Beauty crease brush. I then put Urban Decay Midnight Cowboy Rides again in the tear duct. For the brow highlight I used Sugarpill's Tako. To finish off the eyes I used Maybelline Volum' Express One by One in Very Black for mascara, and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Black, and with any look inspired by Beyonce you have to have major lashes, so I added Ardell's 21s and 305s to add volume and a more winged look. And for blush I used Benefit Coralista
