Turquoise and Peach!

This is a super simple look because it’s basically just winged out eyeliner and a bit of contouring.  It took me less than 5 minutes to do.  Hope you enjoy!

Here are the finished eyes:

Bad to the Bronze and Barely Branded! My go-to Winter look

0

With Spring approaching I’ve really been wanting to do looks that include the colours peach, turquoise and purple.  So, before I jump right into Spring, I thought I’d do one of my go-to looks that I did this Winter.  It’s super easy, only uses 2 eyeshadows and looks fantastic day or night.  Hope you enjoy! :)

Here are the finished eyes:

Smoked Peach Eyes!

0

I’ve done this eye shadow look in several videos recently and had a lot of requests to do a tutorial.  I think the peach colour really makes green eyes pop, but it would look great on any eye colour.  I think it’s something that’s totally do-able for daytime, and also works as a soft smokey eye for night time.  Hope you enjoy! :)

Here are the finished eyes:

And here’s how I did it:

  Maybelline Color Tattoo – Barely BrandedApply all over lid, up to the brow, and in the inner tear duct corner.  This acts as an eye shadow base and also highlights the brow bone and inner corner.
  NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil – YogurtApply all over the lid stopping at the crease.  Do not apply to inner tear duct corner.
  Urban Decay Eye Shadow – ChopperPack onto the area you applied Yogurt with a flat ended brush.
  Urban Decay Eye Shadow – NakedUsing a fluffy brush blend through the crease and into outer corner.
  Urban Decay Eye Shadow – NakedDrag under the lower lashes connecting to the outer V.
  Urban Decay Eye Shadow – BuckApply into outer V to deepen the colour and blend, blend, blend.
  Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil – Hot ChocolateRim top and bottom water lines.
  Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous – Oh FudgeApply to top lash line and flare out at the edge.
Almay Get up and GrowApply 2 coats to top lashes. Hard Candy 1000 lashesApply 1 coat to bottom lashes.

Hope you liked this look! Let me know in a comment if you have any requests! :)

Pink and Green Spring Eyeshadow!

0

Wow it has been a very LONG time since I’ve made a blog post.  Honestly, I think I was just unsure of the direction I wanted it to go with my site.  I’ve recently become more and more interested in the beauty world; makeup, hair, nail and skin care.  I even started a second YouTube channel devoted to it: http://www.youtube.com/AllisonsVanity.  I’ve been enjoying it so much that I decided I want to bring it over to this blog.  I experiment with new makeup looks and new products so often that I don’t always have the time to make a video about it.  So I figured why not share what I can here as well! It’s a lot faster for me to type a blog than to film and edit a video.

If you are not interested in this topic and the direction I’m going to take this blog I apologize.  But, for those of you who are, I hope you can share in this new-found passion for beauty that I have :) So I thought I’d kick off this new start to my blog with a fun pink and green spring eyeshadow look.  I’ve been in love with the Maybelline color tattoo in Inked in Pink.  I’ve found it so versatile, and it inspired this look.  All products used are listed below.

 

Here are the finished eyes:

 

And here’s how I did it:

Avon eye primer – all over the lidsMaybelline color tattoo “Inked in Pink” – All over the lid up to the crease
Wet n Wild Comfort Zone “green eyelid” – Blend into outer corner of lid, and outer part of the crease
L’Oreal Infallible “Hourglass beige” – inner tear duct corner and on brow bone under eyebrow
Avon Big Color Eye Pencil “celadon” – smudged into upper lash line and winged out at the edges
Almay Get up and Grow Mascara – 2 coats on the topHard Candy 1000 lashes – 1 coat on the bottom

 

Hope you liked this simple and fun spring eye shadow look.  Let me know what you think in a comment! :)
