Today I’ve partnered with P&G and ULTA and by using products from COVERGIRL, Olay Regenerist, and Pantene, I’ve created a super fun and bright POP! inspired look for the red carpet. I love the way it turned out and I hope you do too. It’s a simple look to create on your own but one that packs a serious BANG! too.
Have you seen the new COVERGIRL Eye Shadow Quads and new COVERGIRL Bombshell Pow-der BROW + Liner? I’m actually obsessed with these two amazing new products! The Eye Shadow Quads come in high intensity shades and they’re each enriched with skin conditioners for a smooth, even application. They’re my new favorite eye shadows! The Bombshell Pow-der BROW + Liner works wonders on brows and as a really soft eyeliner as well. You can see how I’ve used them both in the video tutorial below.

Here’s What I Used:
1. Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream
2. COVERGIRL Bombshell Pow-Der Brow+Liner in brown for browns
3. COVERGIRL Eye Quads: 700, 715, 725
4. COVERGIRL Bombshell Pow-Der Brow+Liner in black for eyes
5. COVERGIRL Full Lash Bloom mascara in black
6. COVERGIRL Outlast all-day lip color in Beaming Berry 720
Steps…
1. Sweep COVERGIRL Bombshell Pow-Der Brow+Liner in brown lightly onto the hairs of your eyebrows, avoiding getting it onto your skin. It looks fantastically natural when it just touches the hairs.
2. Build up your eye shadows to create depth on your lids by using the COVERGIRL Eye Quads. Swipe the #1 hue on all over your lids and up to your eyebrows.
3. Begin creating depth by using numbers 2, 3, & 4, in the outer corners of your eyes, following it’s natural upward curve, and swooping in toward the center.
4. Create a smoky cat eye with COVERGIRL Bombshell Pow-Der Brow+Liner in black by following the contour of your shadow out, then swooping it heavily on your lower lash line, and on top to create a nice smoky cat eye.
TIP: prior to using, blow off excess power from your wand and even tap it so that when you’re applying it you don’t get little black dots on the tops of your cheeks.
5. Grab your eye shadow quad with your darkest hue {I used 715} and go over your eyeliner and shadow, setting it all in place for a really great dramatic smoky eye. Finish with your lightest shimmer shadow by dabbing it in the center/top of your lids as well as the inner corner of your eye and up and under your eyebrow to highlight it.
6. After curling your eyelashes, apply COVERGIRL Full Lash Bloom mascara in black for lashes that POP! I love that the soft mousse formula makes my lashes soft and full rather than stiff or spiky.
7. Finish with a bright lip like COVERGIRL Outlast all-day lip color in Beaming Berry 720. This stuff really does LAST! First you apply the color and wait 60 seconds before applying the soft, smooth top coat. It smells so good!!
Hair… Messy High Ponytail w/ a Bow!
I washed with Pantene Expert Dry Defi Shampoo and Conditioner, blew it dry, curled it with a 1-1’/2 inch curling iron. I used no other products but hair spray.
Here’s What I Used:
1. Large hair clip with bow
2. A few bobby pins for stray hairs
3. Hair spray to finish
Steps…
1. Grab all your hair messily to the top of your head and clip your large bow clip about 6 inches away from your head.
2. Holding your clip with one hand, pull your hairs through the clip tightly with the other hand in pieces and sections until your bow clip is securely sitting at the top of your head. NOTE: if you have fine hair, that will all fit into a clip, you can simply clip all your hair at the top of your hair from the beginning.
3. Make it as messy as you like and give it a few more curls if you need to before finishing it with hair spray.
And… Voila!
