Rainbow Series: Red

9

Sort By

Today I'm starting a little series called the Rainbow Series! So I'm taking a color of the rainbow and doing a look with that color to promote awareness for conditions/diseases/etc.that use that color as the color of their awareness ribbon (like how the pink ribbon is breast cancer awareness and so on). For red I'm raising awareness for congenital heart defects, which is a heart defect that a child is born with. I was born with a heart defect and had 2 open heart surgeries by the age of 2. Congenital heart defects affect 1 out of every 100 babies and is the most common birth defect.

For this look I decided to keep it more wearable just because, lol.

I applied my primer to my skin with my fingers. I applied and blended my foundation with the Sigma F80. I applied my concealer under my eyes and blended with the Beauty Blender Micro Mini. I set under my eyes with the RT Setting Brush and the rest of my face with the Danielle Powder Brush. I applied my bronzer to my cheeks and forehead with the Bdellium Tools 955. I contoured my cheekbones with the Luxie Large Angled Brush. I applied my blush to my cheeks with the Danielle Blush Brush. I applied Hot Pants to the tops of my cheekbones with the RT Fan Brush and Moonstone down the nose and the Cupid's bow with the same brush.

I lightly filled in my brows with the pencil and set them with the gel.

I applied my eye primer and blended from lash line to brow with my finger. I applied Burnt Orange in and above the crease with the Bdellium Tools 781. I applied Primavera to the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush. I applied the Lancôme liner to my bottom lash line and blended it out with Red Ochre on a MAC 219. I applied Tempera to the brow bone and inner corner with the Bdellium Tools 765. I applied my liner to my tight line and waterline and one coat of mascara to my bottom lashes and two on the top.

I applied my lip color from the tube.

I love the series concept!! and the look is flawless. I'm a cancer survivor, I had leukemia. if you wrote leukemia for orange or childhood cancer for yellow that'd make me so happy and honored ☺️

Rhiannon, thank you! I do already have all the colors planned out already but I hope you'll still be inspired by my yellow and orange looks (:
