Recreate This: Nicki Minaj Viva Glam Promo Ad

By Urhappybunnie @joaniebunnie
Hello ladies! Thank you so much for the overwhelming response on my post on the Viva Glam Nicki lipsitick. Since I got the lippie I've been wanting to recreate Nicki's look in the promo ad for MAC Viva Glam toger with Ricky Martin.
I tried my best in recreating her look and this is the closest that I could get. As I don't have a bright eye shadow collection, I resulted to using my e.l.f. 144 Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette and mixed certain colors to achieve the look. My lighting kinda suck in the photos but I hope you all like it! :)

Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion Original NYX Jumbo Pencil - Milk - use as base, put all over the lid and below the bottom lash line and bl;end with your finger E.l.f. 144 Eyeshadow Palette
  • With a flat shadow brush, take shadow 1 and pat it all over the lid
  • With the same brush, take shadow 2 and put it on top of shadow 1
  • With a blending brush, I used Sigma E25, pick up lightly shadow 5 and place it on the crease, lightly blending out the harsh lines created by the green shadows
  • With a large fluffy brush, take shadow 6 and apply beneath the brow bone as highlight
  • Pick up shadow 3 and mix it with shadow 4 with a clean flat shadow brush to get the right shade of blue and place it beneath the lower lash line and lightly wing it out
NYC Falses Lashes in 973 Black - I didn't have any lashes similar to what Nicki was wearing so I used my favorite full lashes. Nicki was wearing a really spiky demi lashes that elongated her eyes
Milani Liquif'eye Eyeliner in Black - line the upper water line Maybelline the Falsies Black Drama Waterproof
