For this tutorial, you will need:
- Eyelash curlers
- Black mascara
- A blending brush (or two!)
- Eyeshadow brushes
- Four complimenting eyeshadow colors (I used yellow, orange, purple and green)
Let’s be honest, this time of year is cold, wet and can get pretty miserable. We all need something to bring a bit of color in to our lives. What would be better than to carry a rainbow with you wherever you go? Instant happiness! Not only that, but a gorgeous eye look to spread cheer wherever you go! So, here we show you how to achieve a multi-colored rainbow eye look!
- Firstly, take your lightest shade (yellow) and apply to the inner corner of your eye, just above and below onto your lids too.
- Next take your next color (green) and apply this right the way along your lower lash line. If you have an eyeliner pencil in a similar shade, apply this along the waterline.
- Use your fluffy blending brush to blend the yellow into the green for a seamless color change. Handy hint: Use small circles to buff the color in.
- Take the orange shade and blend it across the upper lid, right up to the crease. Remember to blend it into the yellow shade too!
- Now take your final shade (purple) and apply this throughout the crease, and to the outer ‘V’ shape of your eye!
- Now go through and make sure that each color is blended into the next, and that the edges are blended outwards to appear softer. Lastly, curl your eyelashes and give them a good few coats of mascara (Black helps your eyelashes really stand out against the rainbow shadows!)
Voila! There you have it, a multi-colored rainbow eye. Sure to catch everyone’s attention! Try it out with different shades and discover what suits you best, there are thousands of color combinations out there, for endless experimenting! Spread a little happiness, and bring a little color into your life!
