EOTD - Pink and Purple Eyeshadow Look

EOTD – Pink & Purple Eyeshadow Look

Today, I felt like doing something with pink and purple since spring is almost here. This look is more involved than most of the looks I usually do so I tried to break it up into three main parts to make it easier to follow. I used a variety of products but you can recreate this with any similar colors you might have on hand. You need a set of neutral eyeshadows, a bright pink eyeshadow, purple and silver eyeliners, and a black liquid liner to recreate this look.

EOTD – Easy to Wear Green Eyeshadow Look

In the spirit of celebrating St. Patricks day, I created a simple, easy to wear look that anyone can recreate. I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette and the Pop Beauty Bright Up Your Life palette. In essence, you only need a few neutrals, a grass green, and a pale gold to do this look.

NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer

NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer Review

NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer is a lightweight, oil-free primer that mattifies, smoothes skin texture, and extends the wear of foundation. It can be worn alone to give a smoother look to the skin or as a primer to make foundation last longer. It costs about $16 for 1.02 fl. oz. / 30 mL and can be found on NYX website. I found mine at Fred Meyer and I expect other stores that carry NYX will probably be getting it shortly.
