Mardi Gras Makeup

Feb 5, 2013 at 4:00am by Michelle Phan

Hi everyone,

Mardi Gras is a celebration complete with costumes and masks—I can’t think of a better time to experiment with your makeup. The carnival celebrations are only a week away and I’m feeling festive so I thought I’d share some fun, Mardi Gras-colored makeup.

  • Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Glitter 
  • Yves Saint Laurent Mascara 
  • Nars Eyeshadow 
  • Urban Decay Shadow Pencil 
  • L’Oreal Eyeshadow 
  • Revlon Nail Enamel 
  • Sephora Collection Eyeliner and Mascara 
  • Make Up For Ever Aquarelle 
  • Givenchy Gloss Balm 
  • Illamasqua Nail Polish 

 

If you’ve never tried colored mascara, Mardi Gras is the perfect time to test out green lashes. Or try that bright purple eyeshadow you’ve been thinking about. And there aren’t very many opportunities to wear glitter, so take advantage of this one. The best part is even if your look goes totally awry; you can always wear a mask!

Will you be trying any Mardi Gras makeup? What about a Mardi Gras manicure? Post links to your photos in the comments section!

      If you are feeling low put on some green color in your eyemakeup (like liner or shadow ) You'll feel better :)

      I love putting intense eyeshadow on with a thin line of eyeliner, I think it can add a great accent to a cute outfit. I can never say no to sparkles either- I think I love glitter more than Ke$ha! This is such a fun look!
