Two Colourful Makeup Looks

Sofia Temmuz 06, 2021

I'm slowly getting back into the makeup game. This week I created two colourful looks, which haven't been on my makeup menu a lot recently. But I feel like this week something in my motivation or inspiration opened and I have so many ideas for looks, for which I hope I'll be able to realize them as much as possible.

Green Spring Makeup

Spring is just around the corner, and recently the weather was so sunny and warm that I felt inspired for wearing green and yellow on my lids. I started with brighter yellow in the inner corner and outer corner and then blended it in the crease, leaving the middle part of the lid empty. Then I applied yellow eyeshadow in the middle of the lid. I also thought about applying some orange in the outer part of the lid, but ended up not liking it there, so I tried to cover it with green and yellow, which I didn't do the most successfully because a tiny bit of orange is still visible in the first photo. On lower lash line I applied blue shade and then I finished the look with eyeliner, black pencil on the waterline, mascara and false lashes.

Unfortunately, I only have one full face photo that succeeded. It was a bit windy when I was taking photos of this look and my eyes started to water like crazy, so my makeup smudged before I managed to take enough photos for a blog post (I knew I should use waterproof eyeliner and mascara). But I do like this photo. Some time ago I bought this flowery band in Tedi and I really like how it variegate smy makeup photos, so expect to see it more in the future on my blog.

On my face, I didn't complicate much. I contoured my face, applied a nice nude blush and nude lipstick on my lips. After all, all the focus of this look was meant for eyes.

Red Eyeliner

The other day I was browsing through my old looks and came across my Queen of Hearts look, by which I used red eyeliner. I knew I want to use red eyeliner again, but I didn't want to do a completely red look again. So in my head, I made a look in a yellow, orange and red combination, but when I actually started to do the look, I was adding other colours as well (pink and purple), so in the end eye makeup looked completely different as in my head. Now I'm thinking that maybe it would be better if I would just add a black eyeliner instead of a red one and I'd do another look with red eyeliner.

Again, I didn't complicate much with makeup on my face. I contoured it, applied matte peachy blush and golden highlighter while I used a red matte lipstick on my lips.
