Pink and Purple Spring Eye Makeup

Today I have another quick makeup look to share. This is a simple look I created while playing around with the Coastal Scents 120 palette (palette 2 on the website). I was asked by some readers to show more ways to use this palette and I like how these colors compliment each other.

For the lid color I used a combination of the top three purple/pink shades in the 1st tray (4th row from the right) and the very last dark purple on tray 2 (4th row from the right). These colors are bright, saturated and bold, a great way to kick off spring!

Metallic Pink Eye Makeup

Hi everyone,
Today I am going to share this metallic pink eye makeup look I did using my Coastal Scents Mental Mania Palette. For those of you who haven't read my review on this palette you can find it -HERE.

I think this shade of pink is rather soft even though it does have a shimmery metallic finish. I am also wearing a shimmery pink lipstick by Reserves that I got in my Wantable beauty box .

Pink Smokey Eye Makeup

Hi everyone,

I haven't done an eye shadow look in a while so I thought I would do something bright, bold and dramatic. To get this look I used my Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer palette

Naked 2 palette

This look is quite simple to do, but you have to make sure to blend the colors together very well.

Below are directions for anyone who wants to try this look.

Directions:

1. Prime your lids right up to your brows with the Urban Decay Primer Potion. Make sure you prime under your lower lash line as you will be applying eye makeup there.

2. Using a flat eye shadow brush pat a combination of the red color and the pink color indicated from the Coastal Scents palette above all over your eyelids. 

3. Using a blending brush take the red color you used on your lids and blend it into the crease and outer V. When applying the shadow into your outer V area make sure you get a clean sharp angle. I used a business card against my skin and lined the angle of the card  from the very corner of my eyes to the tip of where my eyebrows end to create the V shape while blending.

4. Using the color Black Out in the Naked 2 Palette and using the business card trick again darken up the outer V areas. 

5. Make your outer V area the darkest area. As you blend in towards your inner tear ducts use less black as you go to create a faded out look in your crease.

6. Above the outer V and your crease take some of the red color and lightly blend it above the black. Make sure you apply the shadow heaviest on your outer V and then lighter as you go towards your inner tear duct.

7. Under your brows apply the color Foxy from the Naked 2 palette for a matte highlight.

8. Line your upper lids with a black liquid liner, I used the Wet n Wild liquid liner.

9. Line your lower lash lines with a black pencil. I used the Revlon Color Stay pencil liner.

10. Apply the dark pink shadow under your lower lash lines and around your inner tear ducts.

And that is it, your look is complete. If you have any questions don't hesitate to leave them in the comments section below.

Summer Sunset Inspired Eye Shadow: Highlighting & Warm Foundation

I decided to so something inspired by the beautiful colors in a summer sunset on a warm night because I love how the colors blend together in the sky. I used deep orange, deep red and corals. I also used pinks and a bit of silver to tie everything together. For this look I used my Coastal Scents palette and my Inglot palette. I also used some of my e.l.f. shadows.

 In total I used 9 different colors to get this effect and blended them together. I also used a warmer (darker) foundation and I tried to make sure the lighting was warm for more of a summer's evening bronzed effect instead of shooting in direct sunlight or with bright lights.

I used a lot of my Lorac Tantalizer Bronzer to give my skin a radiant glow (I did a review in a previous post about this bronzer).
