Make-Up How To: Annie Potts in Pretty in Pink

Caroline suggested I do a tutorial of Iona's make-up in PRETTY IN PINK. Being a huge fan of striking make-up, I jumped at the challenge. This is my first tutorial, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

You Will Need:
- Eyeshadow primer (I'm using Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Cotton)
- Black mascara
- Eyelash Curler
- Black eyeliner
- Light purple eyeshadow (I'm using #5 in the Pixi Mermaid kit)
- Pink eyeshadow (I'm using Two Faced I Know What Boys Want)

STEP ONE:
Prep your eyes with your favorite primer, and begin covering your eyelid all the way to the brow bone in a light purple shadow. Next, use a pink shadow on the crease and brow bone.

STEP TWO:
Line your upper and lower lids with a fine pointed black eyeliner pencil - if you are more comfortable using liquid eyeliner, feel free to do so! End the lids with a cateye. Next, make a half-circle right above the crease. This can be rather tricky - I usually have to redraw the lines several times to get the shape I want.

STEP THREE:
Reapply light purple shadow to lid and pink shadow to crease and brow bone. Finish with mascara and curl your lashes.

Your end result should resemble something like this:

Fashion in Film: Pretty In Pink (1986)

Regardless of what you feel about PRETTY IN PINK, it's hard to deny the impact it has had on the public since it's release. It might be an obvious choice make a post about the clothing in Pretty in Pink, but I couldn't help but showcase some of my favorite stills from the movie! Between the gorgeous sets, interesting characters, and the perfection that is the soundtrack (New Order - twice! Be still my heart), this movie ranks pretty high on my favorite films list.

Iona is definitely my favorite character - look at that make-up! *__*

And of course, I have to ask: Duckie or Blane? Personally, I would pick James Spader's Steff!
