Summer Makeup:   Day at the Beach

There’s something about this look that reminds me of the beach, yet it’s not exactly beach colors.  Oh, well! I wonder if it’s totally obvious that I love me some chartreuse green…  Happy Monday!

You will need the following…

For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Sour Lemon eyeshadow on the lower lid. Lightly blend Samoa Silk eyeshadow from the lower crease to above the crease with the 239. Next, apply Vibrant Grape eyeshadow into the crease with the 226.  Blend Orb eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone, then lightly tap Femme-fi eyeshadow right beneath the brow for shimmer. Bring everything together by applying Flipside liner on the lower lash line. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.

For cheeks, apply Sugarbomb blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.

For lips, apply Capricious lipstick first, and then layer Springbean lustreglass for a complementing lip.

This is so beautiful! Bright colors look great on you, Christine 🙂 I was just wondering, do you keep eyeshadow/blush/brush/etc descriptions in a file separately so you dont have to keep typing them & you can just copy and paste? or do you just do it off the top of your head and just type it out?

i like chartreuse too 😉 have you ever done a glossy eye of any kind for one of these looks? just curious – when i think of summertime, for some reason i think of a glossy eye… i do a version of it that’s fairly wearable (dark brown and a LITTLE bit of sparkly gloss). it can look pretty actually.

For a neutral, pretty glossy eye I actually using Aveda products. The gloss I use is their Lip Glaze in “Mango Juice.” It’s a very pretty lipgloss – But not as sticky as MAC’s Lipglass. I use a cream bronzer on the lid and a bronzy/brown/goldish color in the crease. It’s one of those looks that’s REALLY quick to put together.

Yay! I’ve said this before but I love when you play with color placement on your lids! 😀
Its easier for me to see looks on myself when you place the colors differently, especially since you’re so comfortable going bold which I just can’t pull off for everyday!

This makeup inspired me! Tomorrow is the first game of Brazil on World Cup and I’ll use something like your eyes on this post.

Beautiful look! Absolutely stunning! Though I can’t pull this off and I probably wouldn’t put yellow under the lash line, I think everything on the lid is just beautiful. ^^

It’s like a sunset at the beach! Or like, a beach towel, laying out in the hot sun. Let’s just say it’s an Abstract Impressionist version of the beach! 😀

It’s crazy how samoa silk looks super orange on me and it’s this beautiful peach color on you. (yes, i’m pale.) I would have loved to have seen motif in the inner tear duct area! Great look nonetheless 🙂

You look really great in these colours Christine!
Not a look I would try for myself because I think this tends to look good only on the very young and should not be attempted by anyone over the age of 30.
Smashing. Love it! 🙂
