EOTD: What to wear when meeting your makeup idol?

By AG

Press Samples, Purchased

Hey everyone! A few weeks ago I knew I was going to be seeing Caitlin - the mastermind behind Shiro Cosmetics - at a local event, so I wanted to make sure I was wearing some of my favorite products from her store. This has actually become one of my favorite eye looks in general, so I'm really happy to share it with you all.

Disclosure notes: The Krampus and Team White/Gold shadows were gifts/press samples. I purchased all other products mentioned in this post. The links below lead to my reviews of the products mentioned.

Here's how I achieved the look:

* As always, I started with silicone primer (I used Urban Decay Primer Potion) and a base shadow close to my skin tone (I used Detrivore Ossuary) to help with longevity, pigmentation, and blending.

* I patted a layer of Shiro The Red Viper on my upper lid from my lashline to the fold in my eyelid with a small paddle brush.

* I used a thin tapered blending brush to add Detrivore Krampus Schnapps around The Red Viper and up to my socket line.

* I used a fluffy blending brush to create a diffused application of  Detrivore Krampusnacht around Krampus Schnapps and up through my socket.

* I used a small detailer brush to foil The Red Viper along my lower lashline. Using it wet brings out the metallic finish; I really like doing this as an accent on the outer half of my lower lashline.

* I applied Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy over The Red Viper on my upper lid and, after about 30 seconds, applied more of The Red Viper over it to intensify it.

* I used a small detailer brush to apply Shiro Team White/Gold as an inner corner highlight.

* As always, I finished up my eyes by applying brow pencil, mascara, and undereye concealer, and tightlining with black liner.

* I paired the eye look with some of my other favorite Shiro products: Gelato Beach blush on the cheeks and Come Out, Come Out tinted balm on the lips.

It's not the most complicated eye look on the internet, but it made me feel confident and proud when meeting one of my makeup idols!

I'd love to know - who are your makeup idols, and what makeup would you wear if you got a chance to meet them?
