The Summer Wing: Easy Gold, Coral and Neon-Pink Winged Eyes

This is an easy gradient winged eye and actually more flattering than you might think neon pink shadow would be.

The 3 main shades are yellow, coral, and fuchsia, but the key to the look is that I used 2 shimmers in the 88 Shimmer palette for the yellow and coral, then switched to a matte neon pink (BH Cosmetics WM20) at the outer corners. 

This creates more strength to the look, although you can also use one of the fuchsias in the shimmer palette if you want to save the trouble. A matte is just more flattering when you’re wearing a neon pink on the lids, in my opinion.

Scorpion Queen: Grungy Oil-Slicked Black Glitter Eye

I wanted to do a dark, grungy eye that would be edgy but also quite pretty, so I combined a matte charcoal eye with a pop of vibrant green and lots of multi-colored glitter for a petroleum-like effect in the light. 

You will need:

  • Black pencil or cream shadow
  • Charcoal, grey, or black matte shadow
  • Pale golden-green shadow
  • Multi-colored glitter (preferably a dark shade)
  • glitter sealant or eye drops

"I think I should win because I’m a mother of 2 and I’m just now getting into to makeup; however it is hard to buy great products when every dime you get goes to the little ones. I should win because I’m young, broke, and ready to be sexy."

Well, get ready to be sexy, corettahunter!

I’ll private message you for your shipping details.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to post a response to the contest. I loved reading (and cracking up) at some of the answers. It’s just too bad that I could only pick one winner this time round.

But - no worries!

I’ll definitely keep these contests and giveaways going for you guys so there’ll be lots more chances. Here’s wishing everyone a great time in the last few weeks of 2012; party lots, have fun, stay safe, and stay fab!

Final note to the BH Cosmetics team (especially Irene): thank you for making this possible on short notice; you guys rock.

It was fun to run a poll so all of you could decide exactly which item should be used for a giveaway. (Don’t tell me none of you compulsively refreshed the poll page to see the numbers jump.)

There were a couple of moments when the 3rd edition came pretty close, but as of this morning, 3 December 2012, the official winner is this latest version of the mega-palette with an overload of flattering pinks, mauves and lavenders mixed in with plenty of neutrals so you can use it for school, work, and play. 5th Edition! (Cue trumpets, strings and lots of wind-chimes.)

Now, here’s how you can look “purty as a flower” for the holiday season.

TO WIN IT, YOU MUST:

1. Be a follower of http://bhcosmetics.tumblr.com/ as well as a follower of the Makeupbox

2. Reply, Reblog OR post in Disqus below:

3 REASONS why you think you should receive the BH Cosmetics 120 Color Palette 5th Edition

Do be sincere, funny, creative, etc. Be yourselves!

I’ll do the honors of picking the winner and I’ll contact you for your shipping address and details this weekend. BH Cosmetics will ship the prize directly to you.

Contest will close by Friday morning 10am (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, etc). That’s about Fri noon 12-1pm if you’re in Australia, Fri early-morning 2am London, Thurs night 10pm Eastern US and 8pm Western US, so that should give you a few days to think of the answer. Just don’t forget to post your reply before then!

GOOD LUCK!
