Look - Sugarsweet Aquavert & Stars 'n Rockets

Sugarsweet Look! 🙂

I actually really liked how this turned out — it’s been a minute since I’ve been super satisfied with how a makeup look has come out, and I’m pretty pleased with this one! I didn’t think it would work when I started, but it definitely came together. Even Perfect Topping gave me some color! Shocker! I recommend using the 165 brush (or a dense brush) to give you concentrated color for those who struggle to get anything except shimmer from MSFs.

You will need the following…

  • Eyes: Cakeshop shadestick (gray-green), Aquavert eyeshadow (light green-teal), Sugarshot eyeshadow (frosty white), Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow (fuchsia-purple), Lemon Chiffon shadestick (white-gold), Femme-fi eyeshadow (soft neutral highlighter), Feline kohl power (black), Plushlash mascara (black)
  • Cheeks: Perfect Topping mineralize skinfinish (pale pink)
  • Lips: Saint Germain lipstick (cool pink with purple undertones), Tasty tricolour lipglass (sheer pink)
  • Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 214 (smudge brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
  • Substitutes: Cakeshop = Delft (leans tealer/bluer); Aquavert = Juxt (leans yellower); Sugarshot = Phloof!; Lemon Chiffon = Baselight; Femme-fi = Shroom; Feline = Graphblack; Perfect Topping = Pink Freeze; Saint Germain = Pink Nouveau; Tasty = Palatial

Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Cakeshop shadestick all over the lid as the base. On the inner lid, apply Aquavert eyeshadow using the 239. Apply Sugarshot eyeshadow to the middle of the lid. Darken the outer lid using Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow using the 239. Darken crease with Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow using the 226. Apply Lemon Chiffon shadestick along brow bone to create a base. Sweep Femme-fi eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Apply Cakeshop shadestick as liner on lower lashes. Using the 219, apply Aquavert eyeshadow over the shadestick on the lower lash line. Finish with Feline khol power on lower waterline, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Perfect Topping using the 165. Apply Saint Germain lipstick to lips, and then top with Tasty tricolour lipglass for color and shine.

Christine, this is so pretty! I had no desire to buy anything from this collection and now I see this – it’s a perfect Spring look.

This is gorgeous Christine! It looks absolutely stunning on you. I HATE St. Germain…(as an NC42 I should, lol) but with that lipglass it looks very pretty! This is one of the prettiest looks I’ve seen from you in a while…and that’s saying A LOT, because you’re always awesome!

I love the look 🙂
I wore Aquavert today too! I put it on the lid and then put Fyrinnae’s Darling Misfit in the crease (which is a magenta pink with aqua shimmer).

Very very nice and breezy/springy!
After buying Sugarsweet stuff yesterday, I too HAD TO do a spring look!
I used Red Velvet as a base. Then, put Stars & Rockets and Parfait Amour in outer corner, and Dear Cupcake in inner corner. Used Shore Leave as a highlighter. Used green eyeliner on upper lid/lash line covered with the HK pink glitter. For lower line used a pale blue and covered with Aquavert e/s & Newly Minted e/s. Used UD Electric Blue mascara. HK pink blush and Bubbles (which I LOVE!!!) on lips covered with Snowscene from Chill collection. Got tons of compliments on look.

I was totally on the fence with the Saint Germain, but I think I’m definitely gonna pick it up! It’s so fresh and pretty. I’m also definitely picking up the Aquavert, it’s so spring-y!

Beautiful work Christine. I love the spring/easter vibe it gives. I wasn’t loving Aquavert at first but when i see it like this, my mind totally changes. Same w/ perfect topping MSF. You got great color out of it.

Well, what can I say?
Really sweet, Christine!

But now let me ask you something: are you a makeup artist? Your looks are always so gorgeous! 🙂

Great look, I’m definitely going to try it out.

I was wondering if you think an NW30 could get away with using Perfect Topping as a blush? I hadn’t even considered buying it until I saw you wear it–it’s very pretty! I went with a similar look myself today, and can’t help but think that would really ‘top’ it off. I had Cakeshop on the lid, Red Velvet in the crease, Aquavert over Cakeshop on the lid and lining the bottom lashes, Stars n’ Rockets over Red Velvet blended with Dear Cupcake up into the brow where I highlighted with Sugarshot (which I wore in the inner corners as well). I wore St Germain and Just Dessert on my lips (your original swatch made me fall in love with that lipstick). Definitely a nice look for spring.

Also want to thank you for all the information you have provided about the collection, it’s helped me a lot!

This is really pretty. Was going to get Stars n Rockets anyway, but now I’m thinking might get Aquavert too, it’s very pretty. Still not sold on St Germain though. 🙂

Those shadows really make your eyes pop! And that MSF looks gorgeous! How would it look on someone with really fair skin? Great look!

This looks really good on you! IMHO I think it suits your eye shape better when you do your makeup like this, without blending the colour up so high! Great look =)

I love the green on you, but the whole look is much too cool-toned for your skin. But you still look pretty, bc you always do. I particularly like the lips.

i love the eyes in this look! however, i do feel the lips wash you out a little bit. the color has quite a blue undertone, which i don’t think complement your gorgeous olive skin.

I love, love, love this look. I usually do a much simpler eye (I don’t really feel like I know what I’m doing), but I think I’m going to try this one. Thanks!

Pretty look! Christine i’d like to give you one advice. If you will put the eye liner on outer eyelid not in inner, your eyes would be much bigger & expressive!

I loved this look so much! I recreated it today with only one nyx trio pallette called hippie chic. It’s sooo pretty. too bad green looks a little weird with my lieght blue eyes but i love love it.

This is a really pretty, spring-time look! I don’t have Aquavert at the moment (not come out here yet) but have Juxt, whichyou suggested as a dupe, so I might try it out with Stars N’Rockets sometime soon. I’ve been meaning to try this combination out for a while but haven’t got round to it, so you’ve inspired me to try it out!

I know it’s a little bit late but I managed to recreate this look with my urban decay book of shadows and it looks amazing! Thanks so much Christine!
