For today's look, I had no idea what I was going to do. I just put some colors on my brush and hoped for the best :p I really wanted to do something with yellow, I am loving the color yellow at the moment. And to be honest I love this look, it's not too much where you can wear it for daytime activities and the best part is it looks great with light and dark skin tones :D This look has pinks, purples, and a hint of yellow. The yellow really makes your eyes pop. Lets get beautiful...er ;P
First prime your face with Smashbox Primer.
Then you want to apply foundation. I am using Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse. If you have ever used this foundation but thought it didn't blend well, try it with the primer. The primer helps smooth the foundation and helps you blend to get a clean layer without blotches. I love this foundation it really makes your skin look flawless. Next take your favorite powder and apply all over the face. This helps give you a airbrushed look. You will be amazed at how great your skin looks. I am using Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder.
Next erase those dark circles. I am loving Bobbi Brown's Corrector. The pink tinted color is perfect and helps brighten my eyes. Look at the difference, my right eye is done and my left eye still has a dark circle. Look at the dramatic difference! It is amazing ;) Also apply along the sides of your nose, this helps reduce shadows and brighten up your face drawing attention to your eyes. Conceal any redness or any blemish you may have as well. Apply powder to set the concealer so it stays in place.Next we need to attack those eyebrows. Take a brow brush and brush the hairs in place. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and my eyebrow hairs are all crazy and out of place. Brushing helps give you the look you want as well. Then take your eyebrow pencil and fill in and fill in any sparse areas, lighter in the front and darker towards the back. I usually make my eyebrows longer at the ends to make my face appear longer.
Finally time to do the eyes! :D I mixed three different colors for the lid color to give a vibrant color. I used two hot pinks and an orangeish color:
Apply the color all over your lid leaving the inner corner of your eye empty and not going past the crease. Blend well. If you get a little pink in the inner corner of your eye don't worry, that will help with blending the yellow and pink.
Next take two purple colors and apply right above the crease of your eye, blending into the pink. Start with the dark purple and then apply a lighter purple over it to lighten the color up a little. Make sure you blend the colors well. Don't apply all the way to your eyebrow leave a tiny space and add a white eyeshadow for some highlight. This also helps lighten the colors toward the eyebrow.
Then take a bright yellow color and apply it in the inner corners of your eyes, and also underneath just 1/3 of the way. Apply the pink color from the yellow to the outer corners of your eyes.Eyeliner is next, using Stila's Smudge Pot in Black cat line the top of your eyes all the way to the inner corner to give you more of a dramatic look. Make the line as thin as possible, no wing at the corner, since your eyeshadow is dramatic enough.
Instead of blush we will just use bronzer. I am using Cargo's Waterproof Bronzer. Apply just below the apples of your cheeks and all the way back to your ear. This is where you should be the most bronzed. Also dust on your chin, nose, and forehead.
Then curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara.
For lips I am using a matte lip color, Maple by Smashbox. You don't want your lips to be dramatic because you want your eyes to stand out.
Finished! :)
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial :) Stay tuned for more!
