Everyday Eye Look!

Here's a look I wore over the weekend to a friends house warming party. It's simple and natural with a little bit of smoke on the outer corners!

1 Apply foundation all over and concealer in areas of concern (under the eyes, around the nose, on any blemishes). Set with translucent powder.

2 Fill in your brows following it's natural shape with a light brow powder.

3 Blend bronzer through the back of the cheeks, temples, and hairline. Apply a bronzed peachy blush to the apples of the cheeks to keep the theme of a warm glow.

4 Pat eyeshadow primer all over the lid and apply a mid toned brown (close to your skin tone) from lashline to crease.

5 Highlight the brow bone and inner corner of the eye with a frosty champaign shadow.

6 With a dark brown shadow and an angled brush line the outer half of the lower lashline. Bring this brown shadow into the crease and onto the outer V of the lid.

7 Apply lots of mascara to the upper lashes and a little to the bottom lashes on the outer corners.

8 Apply a pinky gloss and you're good to go!

Colourful Pastel Eyes

For this look I was inspired by Easter and cotton candy colours! It's a fun pastel coloured eyeshadow look that I hope you enjoy!

1 Apply foundation all over and concealer in areas of concern. Set your foundation with a loose translucent setting powder for a shine free, long lasting makeup. Laura Mercier's is one of my favourites!

2 Buff a creamy bronzer through the back of the cheeks, temples and around the hairline, and tap a bright pink creamy blush onto the apples of the cheeks.

3 Pat eyeshadow primer from lash line to brow bone and sweep your light blue colour on the first two thirds of the lid.

4 Press your bright blue shadow on the outter third of the lid and blend softly into the light blue for a nice gradient.

5 With a fluffy brush, softly blend a bright purple into the very outmost corner of the eye and into the outter crease as well. 

6 Apply a pink shadow in the inner half of the crease. The pink will blend in with the blues and create a light lavender purple. Make sure all of your edges are soft.

7 Sweep your highlight colour along the brow bone. I chose a champaign colour with a slightly pink undertone to compliment the rest of the look!

8 Apply a creamy white pencil to the inner corner of the eyes and pat it in so it looks soft and subtle. Pat a light golden yellow shadow on top, and then sweep a light shimmering green along the bottom lashes.

9 With a liquid or gel liner apply a very fine black liner along the upper lashes for added definition.

10 Run a deep green pencil liner along the water line (inside of the eye) and make sure to wrap it around the inside of the inner corner of the eye. (Purple, or blue eyeliner would work great with this look too)!

11 Coat your upper lashes liberally with mascara and gently add some to the lower lashes.

12 Apply a pearlescent nude peach gloss to finish the look. I love the new Makeup Forever Lab Shine glosses. They have a nice brush applicator, fresh fruity scent and aren't sticky! They come in a TON of colours too!

I think this look works best with shimmery shadows that have a slight iridescence to ensure a perfectly blended finish! I used a lot of products in this look, and you can substitute all or any of the products for ones that you have at home, and adapt it any way you want!
