Get the Look from Beyoncé's "Haunted"

In this installment of I'll Never Be Bey But That Won't Stop Me From Trying I try my hand at the beautiful metallic, high glitter, smokey eye accompanied by a blood red, high shine lip in Beyoncé "Haunted":

My version is dialed down with less glitter and foiling action simply because I don't own many glittery products. You could easily play up that effect by using Stila's Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eyeshadow in Titanium and/or Metallic Cobalt if you have $32 to blow on a single eyeshadow, or NYX Roll On Shimmer in Onyx and/or Platinum for a more affordable $3.99. I tried to make up for my lack of glitter by distracting you with wannabe red carpet finger waves. Did it work?

Beyoncé's eyes are rimmed with heavy black liner which I promptly rubbed away after applying. Some things I'll never be comfortable wearing and black liner on my waterline is one of them! On my lips I layered Beautique Lip Crayon in Blackberry, Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in On Fire Red, and Bobbi Brown Clear Lip Gloss.

Smoked out eyes like Beyoncé's look from "Haunted" are still relatively new to me. I like that it's a sickness veil (sort of) because I don't think you can tell I was totally under the weather in these photos. Or can you?? Either way, I hope you dig it and try it for yourself. Sick or not!

    1. Haha, thank you! A girl can dream, right? And don't be afraid to try new things, you can always wipe it off if you don't like how it looks. :)

  2. This looks awesome on you! And you definitely don't look one iota sick. The fingerwaves are pretty too, you look like you're ready for a hot night on the town. c:

    1. Thank you! This guy, Sam Villa, has tons of awesome videos on YouTube. I used his tutorial for my attempt at the fingerwaves. A lot less effort than the tradition gel-laden method!

      I only wish I went out afterward. Most likely, I just cuddled up on the couch with my pups and watched Netflix after we shot these!
