Inspired by: Keri Hilson (AJ Crimson) FOTD

Keri Hilson has been a source of inspiration for me lately (makeup-wise). Her new album cover is hot, credit to Billy B. Then I saw this! Had to try it. Thanks to AJ Crimson who did this look and provided us with a how- to on his blog. The star of the show is MUFE Aquacream color in Gold (#11). I tried out the look for a party in February. WARNING: I don't look like Keri Hilson so my version won't look exactly like hers. This is an inspired by FOTD.


Sorry about Android pics, but it's the quickest cam before going out!
Yeh so, can't quite remember everything I used but I'll take a stab.

FACE: MAC Prolong wear foundation NC42 and touches of Too Chic Highlight powder on high points
EYES: MUFE Aquacream Gold #11, MAC's soft brown in crease, black liquid liner
CHEEKS: Black Radiance powder in Creamy Beige to contour, Physician's Formula bronzer beads (sun stones), MAC My Highland Honey blush
LIPS: NYX Orange liner, VG Gaga 2 lipstick and NYX Smokey Look Gloss (I switched out the lips for a peachier look, since I don't think Myth looks peachy at all..)

I really think Keri's blond hair set the look off (won't be dying my hair blond anytime soon!), but I can't wait to try this again... I'd deepen the liner, add the gold sparkle powder over the Aquacream and white liner on the waterline!

ALL MY PRETTY GIRLS ROCKS! WHERE YOU AT?
