Hello ladies,

hope you are all having a nice day. As you all probably know by now, I love bright looks but this time I wanted to do something wearable and soft, perfect for the daytime, but still colorful. Here’s what came out:

soft and colorful 01

soft and colorful 02

soft and colorful 03

Products used:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Gosh Quattro Eyeshadow in Toucan
- Bottega Verde My Box Palette (soft pinkish purple)
- Sleek Curious palette (white)
- Sleek Original palette (purple and black)
- Barry M Eyeliner Pen in Kingfisher Blue
- Wet & Wild Kajal & Eyeliner in white
- Max Factor black eyeliner
- L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara

Directions:
- Apply Urban Decay Primer Potion all over lid as a base.
- Apply a yellow eyeshadow (I used the one in Gosh Quattro eyeshadow in Toucan) on the inner lid.
- On the rest of the lid apply a soft pinkish/purple shade (I used the one in Bottega Verde My Box palette)
- Apply a bright purple shade (I used the one in Sleek original palette) on the crease and darken the outer corner with a black shade (I used the one in Sleek Original palette).
- Apply the yellow shade you previously used on the inner lower lashline and a blue eyeliner (I used Barry M eyeliner pen in Kingfisher) on the rest of the lower lashline.
- Apply a very thin line of black eyeliner on the lid and a white eyeliner (I used Wet n Wild Kajal & Eyeliner) on the waterline to open up the eyes.
- Finish off with mascara.

Jenn: aww thank you, I’m glad you like it. And you deserve it hun!

Aw Gio thanks so much for the award. I’m very honored you think my site is ‘worthy’ of an award :) You totally deserve it by the way, I love your site, esp how informative it is. Have you ever done a cat eye look? I’ve been trying but I think I am getting it all wrong. Haha :-P

I’m also very jealous of your thick eyelashes – at first glance I thought you had eyeliner on the top, but then it’s your eyelashes. Lucky thing! :-P

Renee: you’re welcome, and of course your site is worthy of it, it’s awesome and very helpful! Aww thank you, you’re so nice :)
I have tried the cat eye look once but my attempt wasn’t too successful either. Using eyeliner is a bit tricky but with a bit of practice we will both get it right :)
I’m wearing eyeliner on my lid but the line is very thin. I think it suited the look better than a thick one. And thanks, but I think the thickness is due to mascara, my lashes aren’t that good without ;)

Anastacia: you’re welcome hun, you deserve it! And thanks, I’m glad you like it :)

This is so gorgeous! It’s a pretty daytime look with a pop of color. I love the way you incorporate color eyeliner on your bottom lashes. Thank you for the award, I really appreciate it!

Thanks Dao. I love bright looks, but not everyone feels comfortable wearing them. I think this is a nice way to wear color without going over the top and make it perfect for daytime too. You’re welcome hun ;)
