Here is what the finished product should look like:
I call this look Shy Violets because it’s meant to be colorful, but not super bright. You could wear this during the day to work, or just to hang out.
What you Need:
- MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study
- MAC Eye Shadows in: Vex, Crysal, Scene, Shale and Memorabilia.
- MAC Mineralize Blush Duo in Hang Loose
- Benefit High Beam
- Mascara ( I use Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara in Black Brown)
- NARS Smudge Proof Eye Shadow Primer
Disclaimer: You don't have to use the exact same colors or brand as me if you don't have them - pick something similar or that will work for your skin tone.
What to Do:
To get the best results with this look, apply you foundation, any setting powder and/or bronzer before starting the steps below.
1. Apply NARS Smudge Proof Eye Shadow Primer all over your eyelid (lashes to brow); give it a few seconds to dry before moving on to step 2.
2. Apply MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study all over your eyelid (lashes to brow).
3. Using a big fluffy eye shadow brush, apply Vex from lashes to brow (to set Bare Study).
4. With the eye shadow brush of your choice, apply Crystal from lashes to crease. You may want to do this step twice on each eye to get a nice pop of color.
5. With a small eye shadow crease brush (round tip works best), apply Scene from outer corner to the middle of your crease. Blend out using a large eye shadow crease brush (round tip works best).
6. Using the same small eye shadow crease brush (round tip works best), apply Shale over what you just did with Scene (apply from outer corner to middle of crease). Blend out using a large eye shadow crease brush (round tip works best).
7. Apply Memorabilia to your upper lash line using a flat round-tip eye liner brush.
8. Using an eye shadow smudge brush, apply Crystal to your lower lash line (under - not your waterline!).
9. With a flat eye shadow brush, apply Vex to your inner corner.
10. Brush on a (one) coat of mascara to your upper and lower lashes.
11. Apply a dot of High Beam to your under eye area (I apply it right on the crease where your under-eye meets the apples of your cheeks), your cupid’s bow, your chin, and your forehead. Blend it in using your ring-finger.
12. Using a nice fluffy blush brush, apply Hang Loose to the apples of your cheeks.
That’s it! A very simple, understated but colorful look.
