Master the Look Tutorial: Strawberry Lemonade (UPDATED)

I wanted to play up our original version of our Strawberry Lemonade Eye Shadow Look. This is a fun playful eye shadow look that is perfect for summer! Vibrant yellows blend with pink and hint of purple.

Step by Step Photo Tutorial

First I started off with Persephone Eye Shadow. I dampened my eye liner brush a little, then wet the powder to make a paste. Then used that to wet line my eye liner.

Then I applied Daffodil Eye Shadow across the main lid.

Then I applied Eos Eye Shadow in the crease.

Then I added Lady Slipper Eye Shadow in the lower part of the crease line & outer corner as well to add a little depth.

Then I used Buttercream Eye Shadow as a highlighter, lightly dusting it across the brow bone, and around the tear duct.

To wrap it up, blend with a clean brush, and make any touch ups you might need (I touched up the Daffodil just a bit, to keep that bright pop of color). Then finish with your favorite mascara.

I didn't use our Shadow Boost Eye Shadow Primer at all while creating the tutorial for this look. When doing step by step photos, and having such large gaps of time between the application of the primer before applying the eye shadow, well, it can make application a pain. Using our Shadow Boost Eye Shadow Primer will help prevent fading & creasing throughout the day (an essential for me and my oily lids!!!), and will also boost your colors a little more. 

I hope you enjoyed this!!!

Master The Look: Smoked Peaches

I don't know about you guys, but it's starting to get hotter and hotter around here (I love spring, and it's definitely starting to feel like summer already!), so I wanted to create a look this week featuring our HEAT WAVE Mineral Eye Shadow. Heat Wave is a gorgeous peach with a metallic shimmery finish. It looks wonderful with warm skin tones, and blends so well with so many colors (I actually did two looks with it this week, so you may be getting another post about this gorgeous color soon!)

Step by Step Photo Tutorial

I didn't use our Shadow Boost Eye Shadow Primer at all while creating the tutorial for this look. When doing step by step photos, and having such large gaps of time between the application of the primer before applying the eye shadow, well, it can make application a pain. Using our Shadow Boost Eye Shadow Primer will help prevent fading & creasing throughout the day (an essential for me and my oily lids!!!), and will also boost your colors a little more. 

To start it off, apply CHARCOAL Mineral Eye Shadow lightly along the crease line with our Fluffy Crease Brush. I wanted this to be a very light look, so I applied it very very lightly. If you want a darker bolder look, you can easily take this up a notch by darkening things up with the Charcoal & Hades shadows.

HEAT WAVE Mineral Eye Shadow is then applied across the main lid with our Smudger Brush, as well as along the lower lash line.

We then applied HADES Mineral Eye Shadow along the outer lower lash line & along the upper lash line, and lightly winged it out at the corner. (applied with our Angled Liner Brush)

We finished up the look by dusting CHAMPAGNE Mineral Eye Shadow across the brow bone, and at the inner corner and around the tear duct.

Touch up any areas as needed (we brightened up with a fresh spot of Heat Wave in the center of the lid, along with a little touching up of Heat Wave along the lower lash line (we winged it out underneath the line of Hades)), and blend with a clean brush, then apply your favorite mascara!

Get the Look: Matte Pink & Brown Eye Shadow Look

I wanted something soft & delicate for today, and something simple. It's all too easy to get wrapped up in the fancy elaborate looks and forget to do stuff on the simple looks that are perfect for quick every day looks.

Two colors, can't get much simpler than that. 

1. Start with SHADOW BOOST Eye Shadow Primer across the entire lid.

2. Apply MOCHA Mineral Eye Shadow along the crease and outer corner, and along the outer lower lash line. 

3. Apply BUBBLE GUM PINK Mineral Eye Shadow on the main lid, and gently blend out into the MOCHA. You can also apply it lightly along the brow bone if you wish. 

4. Softly blend, then finish off with your favorite mascara. Simple as that, and utterly gorgeous. The soft matte finish with both eye shadows keeps it nice & subdued without being boring.
