So unless you’ve been under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard of Pokemon Go. It’s the AR, geolocation game based on the popular Pokemon franchise that is taking the world by storm. I’ve been a huge fan of the Pokemon series already so this Pokemon game for mobile devices has been interesting! I’ve been definitely playing but not quite addicted. π I’m more excited for the new Sun and Moon games coming out soon! Anyways, in the Pokemon Go games once you reach level 5, you get the choice between 3 teams: Instinct (Yellow, Zapdos), Mystic (Blue, Articuno), and Valor (Red, Moltres). I was inspired by these 3 teams and their colours and decided to do 3 different makeup looks representing them!
All shadows used are from the NYX Beauty School Dropout Graduate palette. I just did a review on this palette (with swatches) here! The black eyeliner is old reliable Kat Von D Tattoo liner in Trooper.
1. Instinct
So the team I decided to choose was Instinct. Apparently Instinct is the least popular team and that’s fine with me. I actually dislike the colour yellow, but I chose the team based on the description. “You believe Pokemon are creatures with excellent intuition.” Not sure why, but this spoke to me versus Mystic and Valor!
The NYX palette only really had one yellow shade. I put that all over my lid and highlighted with a bright sliver. In the crease I used a matte brown to transition!
2. Mystic
Next up is Team Mystic. The NYX palette had a lot more choices for blues and I kept the use of the brown for the crease. Looking at this photo now, I should have blended a bit better, but live and learn.
I also used a Clarins aqua blue eyeliner to line my bottom lash line.
3. Valor
And finally we have Team Valor! There is one red in the NYX palette, but I was able to complement that with redy-purpley-browns. Like the others, I used the main colour for the lid and blended out with a brown. This time I did a bronze instead of a matte brown in the crease.
And there was have 3 makeup looks inspired by Pokemon Go!
Are you playing Pokemon Go?
Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

Oh I love this! I’ve been thinking about doing a Pokemon Go inspired look, but I had no idea which way to take it. I love that you did all three teams!
Thanks so much Chelle! That means a lot coming from the Queen of eyeshadow looks! π yeah I’ve seen a couple of different looks where people have actually drawn Pokemon in their outer corner but that’s way too artistic for me! (thanks also for the retweet btw, means a lot!)
Ah love this! I’d love to do something similar! I’m playing Pokemon Go as well and I’m pretty addicted, haha!

For sure! Best inspirations are found in daily life for sure! It’s definitely an addicting game!
This is sooooo cute! My husband and I are team Valor, for some reason that spoke out the most to us. I love that you did a Pokemon Go inspired eye makeup, it goes to show how huge the game has become. LOL!

Thanks Shireen!! Oh nice! Yeah whichever team people pick, it’s always better if your friend or significant other picks the same team so you can go around taking gyms together!
That’s such a neat idea! I’ve been playing Pokemon Go off and on… I’m a measley level 8 haha – my boyfriend and I both picked team Mystic.

Thanks Lindsey!! I have been playing on and off too (mostly because I keep running out of poke balls lol). I’m almost level 16. I’m actually more excited for the new actual Pokemon games coming out in November!
Mystic I think is the most popular team!
How fun! I’ve been playing a little, but I’m still at level 4. My data package isn’t a lot, so I only play it off and on throughout the month. I’ve been thinking about which team to join when the time comes. I love your Mystic look. Those blues are gorgeous!

Thanks Wendy!! Yeah Pokemon Go is a huge data suck! Thanks again, I’m very happy how the Mystic look came out! Lots of blues to choose from in that palette!
They’re all really pretty looks, but the team red one calls to me the most! I haven’t gotten into the Pokemon Go thing, although I have played the actual Pokemon video games in the past. Mostly it’s b/c my phone has such a short battery life already and Pokemon Go would just kill it!
Thanks Jojo! Yeah! The game is definitely a battery killer!
Ohhh I love these! So fun. I’m team Valor π
Thanks Andy!!
