Kofi Kingston

For Kofi, I wanted to bring in some green and yellow because he seems to wear those a lot and has had about a million different ring gear styles, I'm actually not sure if the man ever wears the same thing twice.

This is the photo I used for my inspiration

Now before beginning I just want to say that to the best of my knowledge Kofi is from Ghana, yet he he seems to be sporting the Jamaican flag, albeit sideways. Anyhow, this is what I based this makeup off.

I actually couldn't make up my mind about the lips so I'll post both options, with and without lining them.

Without lining

With liner

Let's start.

As you probably know by now, begin by using concealer on any blemishes and then following that with a powder foundation, I use True Match by L'Oreal.

Start by using a sunny yellow all over the lid. I used this one from the Coastal Scents 78 Palette.

It should look something like this

Now to bring in the green, I mixed these 3 to achieve the green I was looking for(in the future I'm going to invest in a brighter, grassier green)

I used the green on the inner corners of my eyes and blended that into the yellow like this. I also brought the green around the inner corner and to the bottom lash line.

Now use this black on the crease, I didn't extend the black above my crease much for this look because I really want the green and yellow to be the focal colours. Bring the black down below your lower lash line too.

Using an angled brush and the same black as before, define that line and bring it down toward the inner corner of your eye.

Now with a black creme liner, line your lid. And apply mascara (which I seem to forget a lot).

Now for lips!

This is what I did and I will explain the order.

First I put some Udderly Smooth moisturizer on my lips because I have really chapped lips, then I took my black creme liner and lined the cupid's bow of my upper lip, then tried to match the tip of that to make a small triangle on my lower lip. You can use a q-tip with water and baby wash to fix any mistakes.

Second, using the same yellow you used on your lids and with an angled brush outline the black liner.

Thirdly, fill in the rest with the same green you used on your eyes.

At this point I decided it wasn't as defined as I'd like it to be(if you have brighter, bolder pigmented eye shadows or lipsticks, you may not need to do this) I used my creme liner to define the line between the yellow and green.
