Looks: Neon Brights

Hello everyone,

did you miss my bright looks? I sure did so back they are! This time I used my beloved Sleek Acid palette, which contains 12 bright, bold and even some neon shades. Despite Acid being one of my fave Sleek palettes, I haven’t given it much love lately, so I thought it was high time to remedy that and here’s what I came up with. I hope you’ll like it:

Products used:
- Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer
- Sleek Acid eyeshadow palette (neon green and bright blue)
- Sleek Original eyeshadow palette (bright light blue)
- Sleek Curious palette (white)
- Barry M Intense Eyeliner Pen in Kingfisher Blue
- Pupa black pencil liner
- Mascara (can’t remember which one I used, sorry!)

Directions:
- Apply an eyeshadow primer (I used Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer) all over lid as a base.
- Apply a neon light green shade (I used the one in Sleek Acid palette) on the lid.
- Sweep a bright light blue shade (I used the one in Sleek Original palette) on the crease.
- Apply a bright dark blue shade (I used the one in the Sleek Acid palette) on the crease to darken it. Be careful not to bring it up too much.
- Swipe a white shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the browbone to highlight it.
- Line your upper lid with a black pencil eyeliner and your waterline with a light blue eyeliner (I used Barry M Intense Eyeliner Pen in Kingfisher Blue).
- Finish off with mascara.

I’m happy to see a green makeup. I’m really not good with this shade and since my eyes are already green I don’t use it so much. I still love your combination. :)

Neons are so cool, and they look great when applied properly, like you did. Love it!

Nikki, thanks. I like wearing summery looks in winter when the weather is so dark, gloomy and cold. They always cheer me up :)

Connie, I have a few more bright looks coming ;) And I’m glad you like it, I thought these two shades went very well with each other too.

Tavia, thanks. I’m glad you like it. And don’t let that stop you from wearing green shadows every now and then. Makeup rules are made to be broken ;)

All Women Stalker, thanks. I’m sure it’ll look pretty on you too. Maybe try sheerer shades and see how that goes? ;)
