Smooth the skin with moisturizer and make it more radiant and less vampirish using Instant Light Complexion Perfector. It gives the radiance that is perfect for the spring. Its dewy and oil free. Smoothen Stila's One step makeup foundation which is a primer, concealer, foundation and powder all in one giving results that are unbelievable for the eyes of both humans and vampires. Yet to set the makeup beating the summer hear I like a dash of Blended Loose powder on the T zone whilst keeping the cheeks radiant.
Contour under the cheek bones from the ears to the area under the apples of cheeks for sculpted face. Use soft matter dirty pink or brown blushes like Prism or Mocha for soft sculpting. Dust Shimmer Brick in Rose to create subtle rosy pink nuances worthy of summery flush. I refrain from using bronzers for this look so I dont follow the summer trend.
EYES
- Benefit Lemonaid Correcting Primer
- NYX Jumbo Pencils in Rust, Black Bean and Purple Rs.425 each

Prime the lids with primer. I like this lid correcting primer so that the vessels et al are hidden and it creates a smooth base. You can also use MAC Paint pot in Soft Ochre as its got a tinge of light yellow in it. Trace the lash line and the lid with Black Bean upto the crease. With MAC 217 (the ultimate blending brush of the beauty world) soften the pencil and blend it in the crease. Trace the same line on the lower lids. Draw a thicker line as vampires are generally sleep deprived. In the inner corners apply purple pencil and blend with a pencil brush. On the black pencil, on the centre of the lid use the Rust pencil and create a plummy rusty nuance. Again blend the corners. With a flat small eyeshadow brush which is slightly dampened apply the BLACKENED RED reflects. This is a micro fine glitter with a burgundy shine. Apply the reflects on centre of the lid over the rust pencil. On the inner and outer corners apply a shimmery black (Black Strass) and make them meet in the crease. Now in the inner corners apply Violet pigment. Apply some violet pigment above the crease as well to create a glamorous effect.
Trace the water lines with Black bean and apply some Black Strass over the smoked pencil on the lower lid. Finish off with multiple coats of Volume Max Mascara
LIPS
Smudge Clinique's Cranberry Cream lipstick Rs.1025 on the lips to create a glossy stain. Aplly another layer to deepen the color to get a "berry" effect. Then top it with a dark plum gloss with high shine like Christian Dior Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Black tie plum Rs.1650 approx.
This look does have an old world glmaour but the Violet adds a modern touch.
Please post your pics if you liked the look...
