A Late Summer Sunset-Inspired Smokey Eye

September 7, 2012

What better way to embrace the natural colors of a late summer sunset than in your eye makeup? This look incorporates the colors of the warm summer sun, while still being a wearable and fun look for any night out. It’s super simple and extremely eye-catching once completed. Here’s how to get the look.

  1. Start off by applying a warm, orange-toned base to your lid and a white base to your inner corner. This will make the orange shadows later applied feel warmer and more vibrant on your lid, while the white in the inner corner will work as a brightening agent for highlighting. (more…)

The Green Smoky Eye For The Brown Eyed Girl

July 2, 2012

Along with purple, green is said to be the most complimentary shade for us brown eyed girls. Because of this, I have created a green smoky eye that is perfect for summer because it has a touch of gold under the waterline. These shades work perfectly with one another to create a summery look that is so beautiful with brown eyes.

  1. Start off with a green base all over your lid. I used a green liner for this step and lightly blended it across my lid. This will make the greens truly pop.
  2. Lightly sweep a olive green color across your lid and blend it lightly towards your crease.
  3. Add a light and shimmery green color to the inner portion of your lid and sweep it into your inner corner. This will highlight your adds and add a summery touch, while still keeping the look smoky. (more…)

Colorful smoky eyes are so fun for summer, and blues are a perfect color for any brown eyed girl to rock. This smoky eye is so simple and vibrant and can be completed in 8 simple steps. Enjoy recreating this mermaid-like, beach inspired smoky eye!

  1. Start off with a white base all over your eyelid and blend it evenly. White bases work to create a foundation for your shadows, making them much brighter and more vibrant. Use any cream eyeshadow or even a liner for this step. (more…)

A Purple Smoky Eye for the Brown Eyed Girl

June 21, 2012

Purple is my absolute favorite color to play up with my eye makeup – and the color beautifully compliments all brown-eyed girls. Because it’s summer, I like to incorporate bright purples. I also wanted to achieve a natural and wearable look, so I decided to use this bright purple “pop” only in my crease as opposed to all over the lid.

 

 

  1. Start by applying a purple base to the lid and a bright white base to the inner corner. These base colors do not need to match any future colors you will be applying – they will mainly serve to make the shadows more pigmented. Use any liner or cream eyeshadow you have in your collection for this step. (more…)
