My new beauty story in September's "Vanidades"!

This beauty story is all about the big metallic trend on the eyes happening right now.  It was literally shot at night  inside a fountain, and I had to keep changing the models' makeup as she lay down in the water- with my assistant holding a flash light so that I could see what I was doing!  Glamorous uh?

This first shot was all about the eyeliner,the model had hazel eyes and I wanted to show how beautiful light blue can layer over a black eyeliner to make the eye color "POP"!.  As a base, I started with Mary Kay's Cream eye color in Apricot Twist (a pretty gold shade):

I used a black cream eyeliner.  

This one was Urban Decay's Ink for eyes:

Then right on top of the black one I used MakeUpForever's Aqua Cream in Turquoise:

In this shot I wanted to give the eyes a bronze look.  All I did was apply a CoverGirl's Intense Shadow Blast in Brown Bling on top of the gold:

Under the eyes, I wanted an eyeshadow that was a darker bronze with gold specks in it to accent her eye color.  I used Mary Kay's Mineral Eye Color in Amber Blaze:
