As the weather warms up, I feel like it is the perfect time to fire up those bold makeup looks as well! I understand that you may be a little hesitant on trying something new, especially something as bright as some of the looks I have created. That’s why I am going to guide you through some different ways to try out colored makeup looks. Everything from a hint of color to a full face bright colored look. 

Since, the majority of us are in quarantine right now I truly believe this is the best time to practice out these looks. You have extra time on your hands and if the look turns out horribly, nobody will see you. Win, win!

Pink & Pretty

If you couldn’t tell, pink is my favorite color. So I figured I would try out a full on hot pink glam look. This Hard Candy palette is amazing!! The colors show up so saturated and a little goes a long way. For being a drugstore palette (which can be found at Walmart), it is worth every penny! You can create a lot of other fun makeup looks with this palette!

I also used all other pink products including this amazing blush from Jill Stuart Beauty #05 Spicy Dahlia. The blush palette has a few different shades of pinks which when blended together, apply on beautifully! This product again is very pigmented and does not take much to show up. I also use this as an eyeshadow sometimes. 

To finish off, this Giorgio Armani lipstick/ gloss is one of the best makeup products I own! The color is so powerful, texture feels great on the lips, and stays on for hours!

Watch the video below to see how I created this look.

Baby Blue Hues

I love to play with colors and wanted to create a transitional look from Winter to Spring. This look is also great for a night out. I recommend playing with the juxtaposition of colors. The baby blue and deep wine color are an unexpected combination making the look interesting. 

For the eyeshadow, I used the Artistry Studio La Palette Macarons eyeshadow palette. I only used one color for the whole lid. I packed on the color and buffed repeating these two steps multiple times. 

For the lips, I combined the NYX jumbo stick lipstick in color “She Devil” followed by Mac Cosmetics “Smoked Purple” matte lipstick. 

Because this look is quite different, I decided to go very neutral and only applied a little bit of Revlon bronzer and highlighter- no blush. 

MELLOW YELLOW

Yellow is probably one of my favorite colors for eyeshadow! I think it is a great color to wear during the summer and looks great on tan skin! 

When it comes to yellow- I love giving it the spotlight and keeping the rest of the look neutral. Give your eyes a yellow moment. I tried something different and pulled the yellow eyeshadow more into my inner corners. I used the yellow from the Hard Candy palette used for the pink look and mixed it with an older Loreal pot I had.

For the lips, I went neutral with pink undertones using the matte colored lipstick “Velvet Teddy”.

Now since this is more of a summer glow look- I focused on using a darker bronzer and going in with a heavier hand (applying more). I topped off with a super shimmery loose highlighter from Kylie Cosmetics from Ulta in color “Fiji”. I have found that loose powder highlighters apply on with more shine. Using a flat power brush- apply highlighter on your cheekbones, cupids bow, top of the eyelid, and even your collarbones!

TEAL FEELS

Another way to add color into your makeup is by doing a smokey eye with a touch of color. By mixing in dark browns and blacks, it makes the look more understandable and wearable. For this look especially, it helps balance out the bold teal. I am using Nyx eyeshadow palette (linked in the video below). The key here though is using the white jumbo pencil as a base to make the color stand out. I also recommend blending the eyeshadow in an angled manner to create a cat-eye effect.

I have balanced out the dramatic eye with a nude matte lip. I am currently loving the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick The Luscious Mattes

LAVENDER LIDS

Bring in some softness into the Spring months with lavender colored lids. If you have brown eyes, purple is the best color to wear on your eyes to bring attention to them! The color really enhances the brown and can even make your eye color appear lighter. I used the NYX white jumbo stick as a primer. This is a key item I use when I want to make the color pop even more. I have been using it for years! I followed up by combining several different eyeshadow colors. I wanted to try a monochrome full purple look. I am wearing NYX soft matte metallic lip cream in color “Seoul” topped with the Urban Decay Hi-fi shine gloss in color “Candy Flip”.

Thank you for reading!!
