Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I did an eyelook, and I have this one I'll type up later today. I just had to show you this picture first. I did my hair in a 70's style (loose curls & half up) and I had to make my eyes up to match. Off course I still have the blue nails... so inspiration enough.
Final eye:
Face
I started on a clean moisturized face using Dior, Dior Bronze Anti-aging Sun Cream ( Moderate Tanning ) SPF 15 to help my skin in the sun today and give it a little of a fake tan later on. After about 2 hours outside I decided to go shopping and I wanted to do a vibrant blue eye that was perfect for spring. As I'm as pale as a vampire, I had to add a little extra colour to make the spring colours pop, so I used Lancaster, Infinite Bronze Face Bronzer with 15 SPF on my face, I didn't want to wear any foundation or help with any shining, so I used only that on my skin, no primer or anything. To make me look very sunkissed I added Chanel, Bronze Universal which is a Sun illuminator, I applied this on my temples, under my cheekbones and jawline and on my nose, forehead and chin with my Sephora Brand - Professionnel Platinum Stippling Brush no. 44 which means I contoured and bronzed with this product. On my cheekbones I used a little Benefit, Moonbeam which gives a healthy glow.
Eyes
I wanted to look very fresh, and even though I didn't wake up with dark circles under my eyes, I did wanted to add a little brightning there, so I used Smashbox, Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer in no. 2 followed by powder (only under my eyes to set the concealer) with Make Up For Ever - HD Invisible Cover Foundation. As a primer on my eyelids I used Urban Decay - Primer Potion. As a base colour (keeping the shine theme going here) I used Urban Decay, Sin eyeshadow followed by a little Urban Decay, Toasted on my eyelid and under my eye using the Smashbox, no. 15 Definer Brush. I drew the blue line with Make Up For Ever - Aqua Eyes in Iridescent navy blue (15L) first to give the eyeshadow something to stick to and to create the perfect line (make sure you sharpen your pencil first). To deepen the blue line up I used Urban Decay - Adore on top of the liner with a small flat brush, pushing the colour into the Iridescent navy blue. To make the eyes look more awake I used the White from the Bourjois Noir & Blanc Eyeliner and topped that off with the Cream side of the Coffee & Cream Bourjois liner on my waterline. Mixing these colours makes it less harsh then the white alone. I brushed my brows into place and curled my lashes with my Shu Uemura lashcurler and coated my lashes with one coat of Diorshow, Iconic in 090 Black.

4Already commented on the OnSugar page. Love it!
5

6Thank you!!
7AWE look !
what dress did you wear?
8Argh, no dresses for me! I have long flowy hair, long nails, high heels and makeup, I think it's obvious I'm a girl
9Very pretty and 70s.
10You know CCee - i am not really into dresses either - even when pregnant in a Muslim country - all said - "women who are pregnant should wear dresses"... i nearly fell ONCE with a dress - for household it does not work for me - so i bought these special pregnancy trousers in Switzerland and then i was happy...
Yet when i was a little girl - i ONLY wore dresses - can you imagine? Yet sometimes it really
looks very pretty to put a dress on... then women look so vulnerable
11I love it!
12I did something kinda like this today . . . a couple of my girls loved it! I was surprised at how bright it was (I used the two lightest MAC colors I got last weekend, then UD Peace for my liner), but it was so cheerful
I'm finding it much easier to work bright colors into
my makeup by using them as liners. I love that I have the shadows, though, because they are so much more versatile in that I can use them either way. Perhaps I will try this tomorrow with UD
Honey . . . hmm . . . I do love that gold color!
13I really like the blue!
14@ hyzenthlay: How did it look with Honey?? That colour is amazing!
Thank you everyone!!
15CCee, it worked all right . . . Honey is a gorgeous color, but it didn't really seem as visible as I had hoped. I'll keep playing with it, and if I get results I like, I'll take some photos and post them (or at least send them to you). I may try using the gold or bronze from the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess palatte and see if that works.
16Try the honey over a gold eyepencil or cream eyeshadow to make it pop more.
