Looks: Curious Girl In A Sunny Garden

Hello everyone,

and happy Valentine’s Day to all those who celebrate it. I know you’re probably expecting to see some romantic or sexy looks to wear today but lots of other blogs have already done that, so I’m just showing you a springy look I did over the weekend. Besides, who says that you can’t wear colorful eye looks on V-day? ;) Without further ado, here’s the look, I hope you’ll like it.

Products used:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
- Sleek Curious eyeshadow palette
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Binge
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Binge
- Layla Love For Lash mascara
- YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation
- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
Layla Top Cover Fard Compatto in n.3
- Wet n Wild Cover All Concealer Palette
- Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Rose Petal

Directions:
- Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your eyes (I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance) to help makeup stay put all day and improve the color payoff of the eyeshadows.
– Apply Fyrinnae’s Pixie Epoxy (if you don’t have, you can skip this step) on the lid to make the colors really pop.
- Apply a bright yellow shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the inner lid and inner crease.
- Apply a light blue shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the middle parts of the lid and crease and blend where it meets with the yellow.
- Sweep a brighter and medium blue shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the outer V and blend.
- Sweep a white shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the browbone to highlight.
- Now apply a pale green shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the crease between the blue shades you previously applied and the browbone area. This will be a transition shade that will help blend all the colors together and soften the edges.
- Sweep a lilac shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the lower lashline.
- Line your lid with a black eyeliner (I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero) and your waterline with a dark blue eyeliner (I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Binge) and apply mascara.
- On your face, apply your usual foundation (I used YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation in no.5) and then concealer (I used Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Porcelain) to cover dark circles or any other imperfection you may have.
- Sweep a peachy pink blush with gold shimmers (I used Layla Top Cover Fard in n.3) on your cheeks and highlight the cheekbones, middle of the nose and chin with a white highlighter (I used the white shade in the Wet n Wild Cover All Concealer Palette).
- Apply a soft antique rose shade (I used Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Rose Petal) on your lips.

Aww thank you. I love the Sleek Curious palettes, it has some stunning colors and they go so well together. I’m also trying to be more creative with the names of the looks. ;)

I love it – it looks like a rainbow :) I’m sure I’ll just do my regular pink or purple eyeshadow today but maybe I will try something more rainbow-like.
