Perfect for school, work, shopping or any daytime activity. Plus it's really quick and easy! This look is great for any eye color but I think it helps make the green eyes pop. ;)
First of all, start off with a clean face. Foundation, concealer, eyebrows filled in, and powder. To save space I won't talk about how to apply them. I also did a tutorial on how to apply it you can read it here. However I will tell you after you put your liquid foundation on it is always good to put a powder on to seal the makeup, and it helps covers up redness. I use the lightest Maybelline Mineral Power (shown at left) To apply first you need a kabuki brush of some kind. Tap the powder into the the cap of the container and take your brush and swirl the powder into the brush. Then apply all over your face in circular motion. Make sure you coat your skin evenly.
Next take a dark pinkish color. I am using Mac's Hepcat Frost:
Then take the same flat brush and apply it inside the crease. Again take the blending brush and blend away any harsh edges so that the two colors flow into each other. Like so:
Then take a pearl whitish color and apply it on the brow bone. Make sure it isn't matte and it has a little bit of a shimmer to it. It really ties the whole look together. Then make sure you apply it into the corners of your eyes to brighten them and make them appear bigger.
Next take a purple/pink eyeliner and line as close to your lash line as humanly possible. The best part about using this eyeliner is that you don't have to make sure the line is completely straight! :) Then line your lower lash line. And connect the two lines together to create a V on the outer corners of your eyes. Don't apply it on your waterline since it won't be visible. It will appear very light and it may not look like you have any eyeliner on. But after you finish you will see that your eyes are 'defined.' For this tutorial I am using Almay Intense i-color eyeliner "bring out the green". (Pictured at the left) Even if your eyes are not green, this eyeliner is perfect for this look. It is not dramatic since this look is in no way meant to look dramatic. Note: it doesn't have to be this exact eyeliner. You can use any light purple/pinkish eyeliner. Don't be afraid to play with color, or be afraid to try new things.
Next step is blush. Choose a bright pink to keep the makeup clean. I am using Bare Minerals
Diamond Laughter Blush. (Pictured at right) Use a blush brush and tap a tiny amount of the blush into the cap of the blush and swirl the brush in the cap about four times so the color gets inside the brush. Then tap the brush on the cap to get rid of access because you don't want too much color, that could over power the look. You want to keep it fresh and clean. Then smile and apply it on the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion and then back toward your hair line. Then lightly brush your chin, nose, and forehead for a touch of color.
This step is optional but I love to accentuate my lips. I take a white shimmery peal color and apply it on my cupids bow. Yes, that really is the name :p Take your index finger and lightly touch the eyeshadow to get just a dot of it on your finger and rub into the indent between your nose and mouth. Make sure it is evenly covered and there isn't an area whiter than others. After applied you should see the light reflecting your lips and making them not only appear larger but stand out.
The last step is lipstick! I suggest to use lipstick instead of lip gloss because the glossiness will take the attention away from your eyes. So stay with a light pink color, or a color closest to your natural lip color to keep the makeup looking natural.
