Looks: Lilac and green

Hello ladies,

for today’s look I used 3 of my favourite eyeshadow colors: purple (or better lilac), pink and green. As you can guess, it turned out really bright and colorful, a fun look perfect for this season. Still, it is very simple and easy to achieve. Here’s how:

Products used:
Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer
– Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Sleek Curious eyeshadow palette (lilac and bright green)
– Makeup Masala eyeshadow in Agni
Sleek Original eyeshadow palette (pale yellow)
– Pupa True Eyes eyeliner pencil in black
– Maybelline Volum’ Express Cat Eyes mascara
YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation
Max Factor Erace Concealer
Silkygirl blusher in Flashing Rose
Senna Spot Lites Highlighting Pencil
Barry M Lip Gloss Wands in Bubblegum Pink

Directions:
– Apply an eyeshadow primer (I used Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer) all over the lid to create a base for the shades to adhere to and last longer.
– Apply Fyrinnae’s Pixie Epoxy (if you don’t have, you can skip this step) on the lid to make the colors brighter.
– Apply a lilac eyeshadow (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the lid.
– Sweep a bright fuchsia shade (I used Makeup Masala mineral eyeshadow in Agni) on the crease and blend.
– Apply a pale yellow shade on the browbone and the inner corners of the eyes to highlight.
– Using a pencil brush, sweep a bright green shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the lower lashline.
– Line your upper lashline and waterline with a black pencil liner (I used Pupa True Eyes eyeliner pencil in black) and apply mascara.
– On your face, apply concealer (I used Max Factor Erace Concealer) to cover dark circles and any other imperfection you may have, and then your usual foundation (I used YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation in no.5).
– Apply a bright pink blush (I used Silkygirl blusher in Flashing Rose) on the cheeks and ighlight the cheekbones, middle of the nose and chin with a subtle white highlighter (I used Senna Spot Lites Highlighting Pencil).
– Apply a medium-pigmented, bright pink gloss (I used Barry M Lip Gloss Wands in Bubblegum Pink) on the lips and you’re done!

I like the makeup but I would wear only that part where lilacs are included. You know me I’m always afraid of greens and blues eye shadows :) .

Tavia, I’m glad you like the makeup. It’s a shame you’re afraid of greens and blues, I’m sure they look great on you. But I understand that you may not feel comfortable wearing them and this look would look very good even if you substitued the green on the lower lashline with lilac or even nothing at all. :)

Wow, the layout of your blog is so clean now! Though I liked your old one very much, I have to say that I’m very impressed. Anyways, the eye make up is wonderful as always! It’s a lovely colour combination and I have to try something similiar very soon. :-)

Mylanqolia, thank you. I’m glad you like the new layout. The old one was nice, just too cluttered and loaded so slowly! I thought it was about time for a change. :)

I’m glad you like the look too. It’s only a simple look but I like how it turned out. Pink, purple and greens are my fave eyeshadows colors and it was nice to use them all in a quick look.
