Rainbow Dreamsicle Eyeshadow Tutorial: Layering Cream Shadows!

—

I wanted to try a look where I layered cream shadows over one another, instead of layering powders with them. This is more of a colorful look for fun occasions (or that fantasy themed party). 

Great for:

• Younger lids (most cream textures are shimmery and too much of it might emphasize lines around the eye corners and brow bone.
• All eye colors; any eye look that straddle a spectrum of both warm and cool shades will work on most eye colors
• All eye shapes (yes you can wear this if you have mono-lids too)
• Dry to slightly-oily lids
• Bonus: all skin tones. Cream shadows are translucent so whether you are pale or dark-skinned, they will show beautifully and not look chalky (unless you over-apply big-time)

BUT: Avoid applying shimmery color to the lower lash line if you have very puffy or prominent eye bags, and if you have very oily lids, you might want to set your lids with a little translucent HD powder for extra staying power.

{Tomorrow, I’ll be posting a guide on how I stop cream shadows and gel liners from drying out fast, and how I restore (to an extent) ones that are old and dry.}

—

One important note before we start: Layering cream shadows over one another is completely fine as long as you use non-greasy ones that are silicone or wax based. If you use emollient ones that don’t set, like MAC Cream Color Base or NYX Jumbo pencils, everything will crease and smear after a few hours.

Step 1: First apply a light pearl shade over the entire lid. I used a limited edition shade called Palladium by MAC. Use any pearl, white, silver, beige or champagne cream shadow you have or like.

—

Step 2: I chose a medium teal cream shadow (Maybelline Color Tattoo in Edgy Emerald) and applied that all over the center of the lid. If you want to be more dramatic, you can spread it lightly all the way to the brow like I did later.

Note that any shade you apply over the pale base earlier will go on cooler and lighter.

—

Step 3: Run the green along the center of the lower lash line as well (not the ENTIRE lower lash line), and then apply a deeper taupe shade to the outer corner of the lid.

—

Step 4: Continuing along the no-brush, all-cream vein, I ran a bit of black pencil along the upper lash line and the outer portion of my lower lash line, and then gently smudged it out with a finger so you’re left with just a little smoky definition around the lash line.

—

Step 5: The over-shadows. This step is optional. You can stop above and just finish by applying mascara if you want to keep things simple. 

BUT where would be the fun in that?

This is the final step where you can use powders if you choose. I rubbed a little pale pink shadow (this a cream-pigment rather than a straight cream; L’oreal Infallible in Forever Pink) over the inner corner. Then I applied a tiny bit of golden-green cream shadow on the back of my hand so there is only a trace left on my finger (MAC Paint in Chartru; this is discontinued but Urban Decay Cream Shadow in Weeds is very similar).

Then I applied it along the outer edges of the teal and blended up and out. I also ran it along the inner portions of the lower lash line, beside the teal.

—

Step 6: I finished the look by curling my lashes and applying a set of false lashes (try something girly and dramatic like Ardell 111 or 125s). Because your natural lashes might have a trace of cream shadow on them, they might stand out under the black false lashes. Apply a little mascara just to darken them and weave them into the falsies.

Peppermint Mocha Sandwich Eyeshadow Tutorial: Shot of green sandwiched between Browns

(88 Original Palette)

—

This is a simple matte eyeshadow look that is good for neutral lovers or those who prefer things simple and subtle with a spike of something different. (And now I look at it, it looks like Starbucks colors…)

I used 3 matte shades in the 88 original palette: A medium green, a soft taupe brown, and a dark black-brown. You can replace the green with any other color you want. Just change it up and experiment!

Good for:

• Mature/lined lids
• Matte shadow lovers
• Double-lids
• Brown eyes  (Tip: if you have blue eyes, try an orange, copper, or even a pink for the colored stripe; if you have green or hazel eyes, try violet or lavender.)

—

Step 1: Apply a thin sliver of green in the center of the mobile lid, under the crease. Just to show where the color goes exactly, the above image shows where the crease line is (where the skin of someone with the typical double lid folds), and where the socket is (the hollow arc above your eyeball).

—

Step 2:  Using a clean brush, pick up a nice soft taupe (shade between grey and brown), apply right above the green, blending up just past the socket line. 

—

Step 3: Add definition with a dark, almost black shade of cocoa brown. Use a flat, stiff brush to stroke the dark color along the outer 2/3 of the lash line. This reinforces the lashes and adds a bit more contrast with the brighter shade in between.

—

Step 5: Just finish with a little mascara!
