As promised, I decided to create a bolder look using the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Alien Eyeshadow Palette. With all of the beautiful greens in this palette, creating a green look seemed like an obvious choice.
Here is how I got the look:
I kind of worked backwards in terms of how many people apply eye makeup. I began by prepping the lid with Titan. I applied this matte cream colored shadow allover from lash line to just below the brow using a Coastal Scents BR-B-S03 brush.
Next, I darkened the upper lash line with Space Cowboy, applying it as eyeliner with an elf small angled brush.
Next, I applied Ghost OG very lightly in the crease with a Princeton Neptune #6 art brush. I blended it out with a Bdellium Tools 776 brush. I repeated this until I created the desired depth.
Moon Rock is one of my favorite colors in this palette. It is a metallic green-gold. Using my Furless Cosmetics PRO1L lip brush, I picked up some of the pigment, then sprayed the brush with facial spray. This helps intensify the metallic effect, and is a common technique called foiling.
I used a lip brush so that I could easily reach the inner corner of my eyelid.
I smudged Flying Saucer along my lower lash line, as well as on the outer corner of my lid using an Eco Tools Smudge brush. I used a Furless Cosmetics PRO2E brush to blend everything out.
Next, I grabbed another one of my art brushes, a Princeton Oval Mop brush and used it to lightly blend Abduction through my upper crease.
I couldn't resist using the color Alien. It is such a beautiful shimmery lime green. I smudged it along my lower lash line using a Furless PPE2.
Interstellar is a light antique gold, and another personal favorite. I applied just a touch on the very inner portion of my lid using a Furless Cosmetics PRO1L brush.
On a Wet n Wild blending brush, I brushed on a light coat of Pluto just under the brow, as well as on the inner corner of my eye to brighten things up.
I could have stopped here, but I had to use UFO. It is a stunning metallic gold. I took just a touch along the inner portion of my lower lash line using an Eco Tools angled brush.
Outside of the palette, here are other products I used to complete the look:
- NYX jumbo pencil in Lime on my waterline
- Celebrity Skin Velour Liquid Lipstick (JSC)
- Snow Globe Supreme Frost (JSC)
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Radiant Magenta
- It Cosmetics CC cream
- Wet n wild concealer
- Covergirl mascara on top lashes
- Wet n wild megaslim skinny mascara on bottom lashes
What do you think? I am in love with this palette and find all of the shades easy to work with.
