Hello my wonderful readers! How are you all doing? Today feels like a tutorial day, so be prepared for the new look I came up with. I am off of school for about 10 days, because of the Teacher’s Convention so stay updated on upcoming posts. I hope you enjoy wearing this look, as I had a bit of fun making it. Keep scrolling down for the details, and feel free to give your opinions about this look after you finish reading. Well, onto today’s post!
As spring is slowly making is appearance, it’s good to keep a few soft, pastel looks in your repertoire. Now is the perfect time to incorporate these feminine yet bold looks. I am going to be using a palette that I previously reviewed, as I believe that this palette is perfect for spring, because of the modern shades of teal. The main palette I am using is the Lancôme Paris Colour Design: Eye Brightening All-In-One 5 Shadow and Liner Palette ($54.00 CAD), in Teal Fury. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Before you apply any eyeshadow, prime your eyelids, to reduce creasing. Instead of using an actual primer, I am going to use a little bit of foundation. This was a sample I obtained from a Lancôme counter. The colour was too a couple of shades too dark, and was on the yellow-ish brown side. It worked out perfectly, as it did a splendid job of covering my dark circles.
The foundation was the Lancôme Teint Miracle Foundation ($44.00 CAD, department stores)
Step 2: The second thing you are going to do, is apply a sheer crème eyeshadow all over you eyelids, gently patting the eyeshadow onto the lids, then gently blending it out with a clean finger. Using a sheer crème shadow can help prevent creasing of the main eyeshadow colours, while making blending the shadows much easier. Try: Revlon Illuminance Crème Shadow in Va Va Bloom ($ 8.87 CAD, drugstores)
Step 3: Choose a teal-green eyeshadow, and apply it to the outer two-thirds of your eyelids. Gently blend the shadow, on the outer corners. Also, blend the shadow with the peach créme shadow, creating a soft gradient effect. This is the look you want to achieve, with a very soft, approachable eyeshadow combination. Bring a bit of the colour down to the lower lashline, and blend it out.
Step 4: To brighten up the eyes, line your lower waterline with a white eyeliner pencil.To achieve maximum results, gently dab a Q-tip along the lower waterline, to absorb any fluid, and then apply the liner. The white liner will give the illusion of larger, and much brighter looking eyes.Make sure you are using a matte pure white eyeliner, it gives a more natural effect. I used The Body Shop Eye Definer in 05 White ( $11.00 CAD, The Body Shop).
Step 5: The next step, is to line your upper lashline. Use a dark brown eyeliner, as it looks more natural than a black eyeliner. Make a thin line starting from the inner corners, and make a small tapered wing at the outer corners, blending out the line when you finish. Make tiny swift dots with your eyeliner on your lower lashline, working from the outer part, until you get one third of the way lined. Gently pat the liner to blend it. This creates the appearance of thicker lashes, and a slight change in the shape of your eye. The liner used was the Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl in Black Coffee ($28.00 CAD, department stores)
Step 6: To finish off this simple and fresh look, use a thin coat of black mascara, to seal the deal. Coat the top lashes, and put the remainder of the mascara on your lower lashes. I used Lancôme Hypnôse Drama in Excessive Black ( $31.00 CAD)
Well, there you go! A simple, and clean eyeshadow look, perfect for spring. This is just one of the Spring looks I came up with, so keep staying up to date, for the next one. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone! Thank you for reading.
Happy Springtime
