This is a look that I do frequently because I love pink eyeshadow. It's quite simple and when I have no idea what to do, this is my default look.
Here's what I used, all MAC:
- Gleam shadow on the inner half of the upper and lower lid
- Mythology shadow on the outer half of the upper and lower lid
- Cranberry shadow in the outer corner and crease
- Pearlglide liner in Black Russian to line the upper lid
- Feline Kohl Power pencil to line the waterline
Do you have a go-to eye look? If so, do share! I'd love to hear about it and get some new ideas.
I love this with Cranberry! I use pink on the lid quite a bit--and I think it makes you look younger and more youthful. My go to look is very similar, but with browns and brown liner. They do have a bit of shimmer though--but it's safe for the workplace (although in my mind anything should be safe!)
ReplyDeleteReally hot look!!!! :) I love the contrast of the pink with the green eyes!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful look! I love pink eyeshadow too.
ReplyDelete@fantastic Thank you! Cranberry is one of the first MAC shadows I got and I still love it!
ReplyDelete@Tali Thanks girlie! I dunno what it is about pink, but I love wearing it! It suits just about everyone!
@gio Thank you! What is your favorite way to wear pink?
THIS LOOK IS SOOO PRETTY ON YOU.
ReplyDeletei unfortunately can't pull of pinks (NW15 skin tone) - they make me look like i've been bitten by mosquitoes... the only exception is a light, almost white shell pink, which can be used as a base.
IMO it's a great color for green eyes!
i tend to veer towards purples and greens if i'm up for color, but generally it's about neutrals (gray based browns, champagne etc.) :)
This look looks great on you! I love how the colors blend and especially like how cranberry looks. I'll have to add that to my wishlist.
ReplyDelete@lareinarumbera You are so sweet! Yes, I can imagine how pink would be strong on light skin tones. I have done light shell pinks on NW15 skin tones, with colors like sketch in the crease and it looks quite nice. Purples and greens are great too!
ReplyDelete@Neena Thanks dear! I know how you feel...everytime I see someone use a color I don't have, I want it...hehehe.
Oh boy, where do you want me to start with the go-to eye looks? There's the grey eye, the purple eye, the peacock blue eye, the bright big "You totally can't tell I stayed up until 2 AM typing my essay" eye, the killer brown smokey eye, and the slight cat eye. The grey eye and the big "you totally can't tell I stayed up until 2 AM" eye have been the ey looks of choice lately.
ReplyDeleteY'know, I thought I got out of essay hell LAST WEEK only to find I'm there again. Who invented Midterms and essays? I want to shoot them in the head and/or scream bloody murder while wringing their neck and slamming it against a wall or something. They are not high-strung people friendly.
My go-to look is very similar to this. Instead of mythology, I use Swish.
ReplyDelete@Kate Wow you have a lot of go-to looks! That's awesome that so many things work well for you! I know how you feel about the workload, I did my time too, but hopefully your hard work pays off later on. Good luck with midterms!
ReplyDelete@BeautyTalk I don't have Swish, I will have to swatch it next time I am at MAC.
Kajal--I have so many because it definitely depends how I feel. Over the summer I was wearing a lot of peacock blue eyeshadow. The grey eyeshadow (Is it fairy Dust or Sparkle Dust? I can't remember the sparkle-y grey color in Jane Iredale Sweet 15 palette)I use really brings out the slate grey undertones in my eyes so I wear it when I don't really want my brown eyes to look so brown. I need so many looks because the artist in me hates just one. I need choices.
