I've been wearing a different Kat Von D lipstick since Tuesday and today's lip is Coven! I think this color might actually be too light for me but I love it so much that I don't really care, lol. I decided to pair it with a soft purple eye look to keep the purple theme going. Constructive criticism always appreciated!

Face:
-MAC Strobe Cream
-Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Foundation in Light 48
-NYX HD Concealer in Light
-Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette
-MAC Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul
-NYX Illuminator in Ritualistic

Brows:
-IT Cosmetics Brow Power

Eyes:
-Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
-MAC Purple x9 Palette (After Dusk, Satellite Dreams, Sweet Lust)
-Cattiva Waterproof Retractable Liner
-Tarte Lights Camera Splashes

Lips:
-Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Coven

I applied the strobe cream to the top of my cheekbones, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow with my fingers. I applied and blended my foundation with the RT Expert Face Brush. I applied my concealer under my eyes in a triangle, the center of the forehead, down the nose, the Cupid's bow, and the chin and blended it all in with the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge. I set the concealer under my eyes with Lyric and the rest of my concealer with Lucid with the RT Setting Brush. I contoured my cheekbones, chin, and jawline with the RT Contour Brush and the sides of my nose with the MAC 217 using the shade Sombre. I applied my blush with the ELF Bronzing Brush and my highlighter to the top of my cheekbones, down the nose, and Cupid's bow with the RT Fan Brush.

I lightly filled in my brows with the pencil.

I applied my primer from lash line to brow with my finger. I applied After Dusk in my crease with the ELF Blending Eye Brush, Satellite Dreams on my lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush and on the lower lash line with the ELF Blending Eye Brush, and Sweet Lust under the brow and in the inner corner with the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I applied my liner to my waterline and tight line and one coat of mascara on the bottom lashes and two on the top.

I applied my lip color straight from the tube.

Gosh what lip color can't you pull off lol? This color looks great on you I don't think it's to light for you.

Coven is absolutely gorgeous, I think with this look I would go for a slightly darker contour though.

Thats a very cool lipstick color! I think that color would look crazy awesome with a really really dark eye look :)

Love! I think you are able to pull off any lipstick you try! Lol so jealous. I agree with Sabrina on a dark eye looking great with this. Looks great though!

I must be honest this isn't my fave look on you and I feel bad mentioning it but it comes with constructive criticism.I feel as though the color is pretty,but on you it washes out your beauty. It would be great if you had balanced it out with more blush color like a hint of flush cheek. You have the structure use your structure of your face doll take advantage of that! :) your far more pretty then you give yourself credit for, use it.

I don't like to disagree, but I have to admit, I thought it was bold yet simple and it worked well with her outfit, I think if she added to much it would look a bit over board. with the outfit, I think by far its one of my faves from alexis

With all due respect.

It's ok to disagree promise, I just feel this wasn't my fave look on Alexis and I've seen many bold looks she's shared through the year lol and most of the time I'm all for them but this one is not in my favor. There could still be a balance but what my eyes see and what others may see could be different.I'm sure she'll know I'm coming from a artistic makeup experience of view and with no hard manner. ;)

Yes ma'am Alma :)!

Alma, I do have blush on, it just gets washed out in pictures, so there is color to my face IRL.

I appreciate what you've said, Jacqueline. I don't find myself to be any kind of sexy, I've struggled with my appearance and self esteem since I was a child so I don't see what others see. I have a very warped opinion of myself.

I know you have some on lol a hint of flushed shade is what I'm talking about hope that makes sense.;)
There's a certain vision I'm seeing as a artist but I'm not sure if you may understand it.you have this look about you and I think you need to bring it out more. :)

Her lighting could of easily washed her out, it washes me out all the time.
Alexis, I think you look great ☺️

I have to agree with Alma and Jacqueline, the first thing I noticed was you look a tad washed out. but hey! Lighting is a huge factor. The lip color is beautiful but it seems a bit hard to pull off. I think it balanced out with a different eyelook would be superb! Something a bit darker, but I see the look you were going for and I am in NO WAY shape or form a makeup artist so I'm just speaking off of my thoughts, whoch I tend to do a lot. I think you look beautiful as always though and I always love your outfits. :)

I'm a bit confused is there constructive criticism here or is there not? Lol We must soak in any Avenue of suggestion as this is a open forum of opinions. Alexis is indeed great but I'm not passing pretty tickets on every look I see, I'm trying to help really.I will in fact be honest as a artist who sees things differently and only do so with genuine feedback but I do respect everyone's opinion as I expect the same back it's all in good fun in learning. It's ok, well done have a beautiful day :)
