Today, I felt like using pink and purples and a bit of red ;).
Since the palette I used for this tutorial is quite new. I thought, why not play around with these types of shades. I have to admit that this isn’t a natural look at all! But if you love to play around with bright colors or if these are your favorite colors then please enjoy! (:
Let’s get to the pictorial:
Step 1: Crease Shade.
I didn’t go into any type of natural shade to start off with. I directly went into a cool-toned pinkish shade and blended this one into the crease and above.
Use a blending brush to nicely and evenly blend the shade from the main crease towards the brows. This way, when you’re looking at someone, they will still see the crease shade.
If you’re only using the shade mainly in your crease, nobody will notice that you’re wearing eyeshadow but this is only the case if you have no crease showing off at all or with hooded eyes.
Step 2: Deepen the corners.
Then I went for a dark red-pinkish shade and added this to the outer corner of my eye. I used a dense, rounded eyeshadow brush to pack on some shadow to the outer corner and then blended it to the crease line and mid-section of my eyelid.
If you don’t have such a brush, then go for a flat eyeshadow brush but be careful on how you’re holding the brush because it will effect how your end result will look like.
If you have a smaller brush that’s perfectly fitting to your outer corner, take that one!
Step 3: Metallic.
Next, I applied a metallic purple shade to the main lid area. I used my finger at first and followed it up by using a small angled brush to get into the inner corner and closer to the lashes.
If you don’t have long nails, you totally just can use your finger to apply it. Don’t forget to blend it to the crease and outer corner.
Step 4: Blend.
Take the blending brush again and blend all those shades into one another to make sure that there won’t be any harsh lines left.
If you need to re apply the metallic shade again, go for it! Building up eyeshadow gives you the opportunity to blend properly.
Step 5: Lower Lash Line.
Next, I applied a bright pink shade to the lower lash line by using a flat eyeshadow brush.
Flat eyeshadow is a must have brush!!!
Step 6: Waterline.
To pull this look together, I also would recommend using the matching eyeliner pencils on your waterline.
I went for the pink one.
Step 7: Liquid Liner.
Now it’s getting interesting!
Instead of creating a one-colored or simple black winged eyeliner go for a two-colored one as shown on the picture.
I went for red/pink and purple. So the part where you see the metallic purple shade, I applied the red/pink liner and where you see the pink shadow, I went for the purple liner and blended the liquid liners together.
Step 8: Mascara.
Some liners can dry pretty harsh and everything can get caught in your lashes. Let the liner dry and then take out any clumps from the dried liner spots by pulling them out.
Don’t pull your lashes, only the clumps!
Then add a few coats of your favorite mascara.
Step 9: Highlighter.
Adding a highlighter that matches the rest of your makeup will bring up the whole makeup vibe you went for!
That’s why I went ahead and applied some purple to pinkish shifting highlighter. I added it to the brows and inner corners of my eyes as well as nose, cheeks and cupid’s bow.
Step 10: Lips.
Matching to the look, I went for a red-pinkish liquid lipstick to round up the whole eye makeup look.
That’s basically it what I have for you today! I hope that you’ll have a good start into the day and enjoyed reading today’s makeup post! (:
