fresh off the runway: the plum paradise at offical rodarte

Today's look was inspired by the ultra dramatic, sultry plum eyes and metallic plum lips at the Official Rodarte show featured at NYFW 2014. The look the models wore had deep plum eyes with shadow that went completely into the brows and metallic rose gold inner corner highlights. The brows were quite perfectly haphazard and true to the model's natural hair color. Plum lips were on every model, some more purple, others more burgundy. But every model's lips were adorned with metallic glitter. While all of these combined into an artistic masterpiece, it was not wearable for the everyday woman. So today's feature is my wearable interpretation of the Rodarte runway for you to try at home. As always switch any of these products out for things in your own collection. Enjoy!

the eyes:

- Start by priming the lid space and under eye with an eyeshadow base or eye primer. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer)
-Pack a matte shadow close to your skin tone along the brow bone. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #I Have a Headache)
-With a fluffy blending brush, apply a matte mauve shadow to the lid and blend up almost all the way to the brow. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Unconditional)
-Next on an oval blending brush, apply a matte burgundy shade to the lid and through the crease. Do no extend pass the mauve shade. Some move should peak over the top of the burgundy. Also run this along the outer 1/2 of the lower lash line. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Unbridled)
-Then with a flat shader brush, apply a  satin or matte deep plum shadow over outer 1/2 of the lid and throught the crease. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Untamed)
-Wet a shader brush with water, mixing medium, or setting spray and apply a shimmery rose shadow to the inner 1/2 of your lid. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Unbelievable)
-Now wet a pencil brush and apply a shimmery rose gold to the inner tear duct. Continue this color along the inner 1/3 of the lower lash line. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Unreal)
-Liner along the upper lashes, tightline, and water line with a dark brown kohl liner. (Jane Cosmetics Water Resistant Eyeliner #Brown)
-With a flat definer brush apply the deep plum shadow very close to the lower lashes. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Untamed)
-Prep your lashes for falsies with a quick coat of mascara. (Lorac Pro Mascara)
-Finish of the eyes with some piecey and romantic lashes. (Ardell Lashes #Scanties)

the lips:

-We are definitely skipping out on the silver glitter the model wore atop their plum lips to make this look more wearable. 
-Line the lips with a plum lip liner. (Milani Easyliner for Lips #Sugar Plum)
-Apply a plum glossy lipstick to the entire lip. (Revlon Superlustrious Lipstick #Plum Velour)
-Top the center of the lips off with a light red or burgandy lipstick that has some shimmer. This will make them appear more full. (NARS Lipstick #Flair)
