Here’s an eye tutorial, just in time for Valentine’s Day! For most people, including me, pink eye shadows are difficult to pull off. But one day a year, we get a good excuse to wear them. I made sure to keep the colors soft and wearable.
Enjoy! And happy Valentine’s Day!

| Eyes | Urban Decay eye shadow primer, MAC Paradise Island & Defiance eye shadows (from the Wonder Woman Defiance quad), The Body Shop eye shadow in #12, MAC Copperplate eye shadow, Illamasqua pigment in Static, MAC Pearlglide eye liner in Lord It Up, Maybelline Colossal mascara |
| Cheeks | MAC Briar Rose Beauty Powder (from the Venomous Villains collection) |
| Lips | Tarte LipSurgence Luster in Adored |
1. Apply an eye shadow primer all over the lids, up to the brow bone.
2. With any fluffy eye shadow brush, apply a matte eye shadow that’s close to your skin color all over the lids, in the crease, and a little above the crease. (I used The Body Shop’s shadow in #12, but the color is no longer sold.)
3. Take a flat, dense, eye shadow brush and apply Paradise Island (or any matte light/medium pink color) to the lid. Apply 3 layers to get the color to show.
4. Take a fluffy crease brush and apply Copperplate (or any matte, cool-toned, medium brown) to the crease. Blend it at the outer corner so that it connects with Paradise Island on the lid. Add another layer of Copperplate at the outer-V of your lid.
5. Re-apply 2 layers of Paradise Island to the lid. The color will have faded slightly from blending in Copperplate.
6. Apply Defiance to the brow bone. You can use any shimmer highlighter; try to use one that has a pink shimmer in it. If you don’t have Defiance, MAC’s Phloof! is a good alternative.
7. Take a small detail brush and apply Illamasqua’s Static (or any glittery pigment that has a pink/purple-white duo-chrome) to the inner 1/3 of your lid and the inner 1/3 of your lower lash-line. Press layers on top of each other with the brush until you are happy with the amount of shimmer.
8. Take a stiff, flat-topped eye liner brush and apply Copperplate as your eyeliner to the top lash-line. Press it in as close to the lash-line as you can to keep the look soft. Also apply Copperplate to the outer 2/3 of your lower lash-line.
9. Apply MAC’s Lord It Up eye liner (or any brown liner) to the outer 2/3 of the lower waterline, leaving the waterline above where you applied Static clean.
10. Apply mascara.
11. Go out, have fun, look pretty, and get kissed!
This is a perfect work/everyday make-up too!;)
Nice!
really pretty
very very pretty!
