Game Day Makeup! GO PACK!!!!!

You KNOW I had to do it!

If you want to show a little extra team spirit then follow the tutorial below. Use any greens and yellows that you want. And...no...I will not be making a Steelers makeup tutorial. GREEN AND GOLD!!!!

First, apply an eye primer. I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Then, with apply a white base along the lash line and lightly blend, using your ring finger. The white will help the colors to show up better and more true than if you put it directly onto the skin.


Place a small piece of Scotch tape at the outer corner of your eye, following the curve of your lower lash line.


Next, with a pencil brush, apply a vivid yellow shadow to the inner half of your upper lash line and along the tear duct. Keep the color near to the lash line.


With the same pencil brush, pat a bright green on the outer half of the upper lash line. Again, make sure to keep the color close to the lashes.


With a light yellow, create a gradation from the yellow into the green. Starting at the inner corner then moving into the green, use small movements to blend out the edges. Do the same to the top edge of the green until any harsh edges have been blended away. I recommend using a small flat brush to do this. Use the yellow that remains on the brush and run it along the lower inner lash line. With the brush you used for the green shadow, apply what's left to the lower outer lash line. Blend the two into one another.



Remove the tape. Fill in your brows then apply a skin-toned shadow to the brow bone and around the edges of all the eye makeup. Use a black liner (liquid or gel is best) to create a smooth line that follows the green shadow. Apply several coats of black mascara and - if you want - false lashes.









Pair this spirited look with lightly blushed cheeks and natural lips.
