How about the makeup look?  I say YES! You can achieve this look in 5 easy steps!

Step 1: Start with a clean face.  Then add moistuizer and primer.

Step 2: Apply foundation all over.  Conceal where needed.

Step 3: Add lime green shadow like ink...cosmetics shimmer shadow in Aqua Marine on the lid keeping your brow area clean.  Shadow available now at W Salon.

Step 4: Liner the top of your eyes with black liquid liner extending the line outward. Pick extreme long lashes and apply with black lash glue. Line your inner rim with white liner. Top with black mascara.

Step 5: Apply a bubble gum colored lipgloss!

Enjoy the night and if your scared of catching something at the VMAs, grab your couture hospital mask!

I have had the privilege of knowing Indashio for over four years now.  Indashio is by far my biggest and most supportive client and friend.  At this point he is practically family!  I have and will continue to thank him for always allowing me to stay true to my creative artistic ability and for allowing me to continue providing his Celebrity clientele with fearless, sexy and flawless looks.  We at ink...cosmetics are so excited to work with him again this year and can't wait to see what he has in store for all the Indashio fans. 

Here is a tribute to his Fall 2011 show.  Makeup for Indashio, Johnny Weir, Aubrey O'day, and Adrienne Bailon by me using ink...cosmetics.  Runway models by Elle 360 sponsor Makeup Forever.
