Just when I thought that Nicki Minaj was the only one who could pull off blue shadow and fuchsia pink lips, there was another music star who dared to rock this trend. Mya does a good job of it, too. Her look is a little toned down, compared to Nicki's but it works.
For Mya's look, of course you want to start off with a flawless face, using foundation and concealer to your liking. For that luminous look all over, try
M.A.C. Strobe Cream before or mixed in with your foundation. the light reflects this product wonderfully. For the eyes, start off with a good base, my favorite is
M.A.C.'s Cream Color Base in pearl, it will give eyes that frosted look and give the powder something to hold on to. Bare Escentuals'
bareMinerals Exotic Destinations palette in Bora Bora has the best combination of colors for this look, with just the right amount of shimmer. After lining the eyes with a kohl black liner and adding your favorite mascara, you can move on to the lips.
Stila's Long Wear Liquid Lip Color in Caprice is a good match with the color Mya is wearing and it is a lipstick and gloss in one. Then, to finish off the look, you can add a little blush to your cheeks.
M.A.C. Powder Blush in Desert Rose is my standby.
Nicky's look is more matte, so for the face, I would do everything except the Strobe Cream and I would concentrate on bronzer and highlighter instead. A good eye primer, like
Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer, will help the color stay true and last longer. To get the pretty turquoise lids that Nicky's popping, try
Make-up Forever Aqua Cream in Turquoise. Then, rely on a palette to give you the rest of the colors you need.
Too Faced Matte Eye Shadow Collection has just that with the charcoal gray, dark brown and ivory color you need to intensify your eye game. After you line eyes and add either the fiercest falsies or the best darn mascara you can find, glam it up with
Sephora Glitter Eyeliner in silver. And for the pinkest, bossiest lips try
OCC Lip Tar in Pageant.
Both ladies pull the look off well, but you know I couldn't resist.
