Hello ladies,
hope you are all having a nice day. I haven’t worn makeup much this past week as I had a bad cold and was too lazy to apply anything to my face.
But now that I’m better I decided to do something really bright to make up for lost time using the Lemon shade from Beauty From The Earth my friend Ana sent me. Thanks hun, I LOVE this color, it’s so bright and pigmented. And it’s very easy to work with too.
I’ve decided to pair it with some pink and purples and here is what came out:
Products used:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Beauty From The Earth eyeshadow in Lemon
- ELF Brightening Eye Color in Pretty n Pink (soft pink)
- Makeup Masala eyeshadow in Agni
- Sleek Original eyeshadow palette (bright purple)
- Sleek Curious eyeshadow palette (dark purple)
- Get in Line palette (pale beige)
- L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara
- Max Factor Masterpiece Max mascara
Directions:
- Apply Urban Decay Primer Potion all over lid as a base.
- Apply a yellow shade (I used Beauty From The Earth shadow in Lemon) on the lid and, using MAC 219 pencil brush, swipe some on the inner lower lashline too.
- Apply a soft pink shade (I used the one in ELF Brightening Eye Color in Pretty n Pink) on the inner crease.
- Swipe a very bright pink shade (I used Makeup Masala eyeshadow in Agni) on the crease and blend.
- Apply a bright purple shade (I used the one in Sleek Original palette) on the crease to darken it. Be careful not to bring the color up too much.
- Swipe a dark purple shade (I used the one in Sleek Curious palette) on the outer corner to darken it even more. Using MAC 219 pencil brush, apply some on the outer lower lashline and blend.
- Swipe a pale beige shade (I used the one in Get in Line palette) on the browbone to highlight.
- Finish off with mascara.

You always manage to pull of the most unique colors! The reds & purples work so well together. I definitely want to give this look a try!

That’s a very nice yellow. Been always looking for such pretty and bright yellow. And love the pink shade so much. Wish I could pull off such bright pink without looking like my eyes are bulging!

Rebecca, thanks, you’re very sweet. I’d love to see how the look turns out if you try it, I’m sure you’d do a great job
Vonvon, I agree, finding a good yellow shade is hard. I like what a true and bright color this is. The pink shade is from Makeup Masala but I think she has stopped making mineral makeup now. It’s a shame cos her line was good
Hi Gio! I never dared to use yellow as an eyeshadow but I definitely looks great on you. I love the combination and in the same time the colors are so vibrant. It makes u thing that spring is just right away the corner.

Thanks Tavia. Yellow eyeshadow can be daunting to wear, but you should give it a try, it’s a beautiful color. You can wear a soft one and pair with browns if you’re not comfortable wearing brights. And I wish spring was around the corner, it’s freezing here
