Summer Fun Look: Green, Coral, & Purple

Summer Fun Look: Green, Coral, & Purple

How’s your Sunday treating you? I did this look late last night, as I was determined to be somewhat productive.  (Although, I did get my cheat sheet ready for my final on Monday!)  Just a fun, summery look that came out better than I thought it would!  I hope you’re enjoying your weekend 🙂

P.S. — For a more affordable lip look, try MAC Ravishing and Lychee Luxe.

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 Sweet & Punchy eyeshadow on the inner two-thirds of the lid and pull upwards along the inner crease. Apply Firecracker eyeshadow on the outer third of the lid with the 239. Next, apply Psychedelic Sister eyeshadow into the crease with the 226, lightly blending onto the outer lid. Blend Grain eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Float On By eye kohl on the lower lash line, then lightly pat Sweet & Punchy eyeshadow to soften. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.

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

For lips, apply #101 lipstick first, and then layer #3 lipgloss for a complementing lip.

Also, this is weird I know, but your eyelid shape is very pretty. I mean, in the last picture with the eye closed I was *sure* you had thin black liner on the upper lashline, but clearly you don’t. Just something about your eyes.

Yeah, your eyes have an Asian shape but without the monolids. Most of my half Asian friends have similar eyes – it’s a very pretty 🙂

You know that expression “fire in your eyes”? Well, it seriously looks like there are flames on the outer edges of your irises! So cool!

I think that could work…I do have both! Trying to figure out when I should try a similar look. Maybe I’ll use a bluer liner and make this my rainbow eye for Pride!

Wow! I love this look, Christine. The colors really complement each other 🙂 And that blush looks amazing on you!

Love love love this colorful look! The purple looks great and isn’t an obvious choice, not sure I would have thought to use it with the other colors.

Oh pretty pretty! I feel like you sort of combined the colors most people said they would pair with firecracker (green & purple) and I love how all 3 look together!! Nice job Christine!
