So yesterday was the 4th July. As a NONE American and being the huge geek that I am in my spare time, I decided I was going to celebrate this year. So today I thought what can I do to celebrate the birth of one of my favourite comic book characters. So in order of being in the spirit I chose to do a blue, red and white theme with my clothes, nails and makeup.

So to do my makeup, I had a look at what I had to do this look. I finally got to use three makeup items that I haven't used yet.

The items I chose to create my eyes were the following:

Kiko Milano : DOUBLE DARE EYESHADOW & EYELINER - colour Gold and Teal. Kiko Milano : Cosmic Glam Kajal - Eyeliner Duo - colour Denim Blue.

Geek Cosmetics: N7 - colour N7.

I used the gold eyeshadow for the base of my eyes. I then used the N7 colour for the outside of my eyes. This gave a little red and almost neutral colour in the inside. I then used the Kajal in the inside and bottom waterline. Then I finally used the eyeliner on the upper lid and created a small flick. This created a blue, red and sort of white style lids. The lipstick I used was Cherry Kiss 840 from Maxfactor. My nails I used Iron Mani for my basecoat. Then using Pure Paradise from Leighton Denny as my bottom layer colour. The colour Power Red from Maybelline Colour Show I used for stripes to create the white and red part of the cap shield. Finally I used Happy Nail 88 from Diego Dalla Palma for the top of the nail to create the top of the shield. I decided not to add stars to this time when I created these nails, as the last time I created nails similar to this they were a pain in the ass to make. Especially as I am not having my nails like this for very long due to work. T-T

This was my final look. So I painted my nails like the American flag, wore my Brooklyn Shirt (As Steve Rogers was from Brooklyn). A navy skirt and my dark red Peggy Carter inspired hat. Was a fun little look, showing my patriotism for Captain America. I'll do a full review of the eye makeup individually. So Happy 4th July everyone! And goodnight! :D
