I'm all made up, in pink, in the winter.

By Alecia James Thursday, February 13, 2014

Amid the harsh winter we've seen in NYC this season, I had to find a touch of pink to brighten up a snowy day. While the snow flakes and moisture have left my poor strands limp and crying for help, I also had to seek refuge in one of my favorite wigs that offered a reliable protective style. See how I found redemption with a pop of color for my battle with "old man winter."

The Look

Pink obviously rules here:

For the eyes, I applied a bright pink eye-shadow to the inner two-thirds of the lid and black eye-shadow to the outer third.
Affix a small piece of tape to the corners of your eyes to get a straight line.
Outline the shadow with gold liquid liner as shown. The one I used is called "Glitz N' Gold" by Ruby Kisses.
Apply a soft sweep of blush (pink) to highlight the cheeks.
Use black mascara and black liquid liner for the final touches.

The pink action continued on the lips. I used a beet lip liner by Mattese Elite and a ultra pink lipstick by City Colors Cosmetics.

Some of the products I used.

Gold liquid liner, lip liner and lipstick.

For the hair, I just rocked one of my favorite wigs; this one is black and wavy. A hot-pink scarf and magenta earrings were key fixtures in this look as well.

Take shameless selfies as usual.

Who said you had to look dull and dreary in the wintertime? A pop of your favorite color goes a far way and is sure to brighten up any day.
