The Summer Look I'm Rockin


Super Easy to do and you can do any other color on the lower lash line. I've done Blue, Purple, Green. I like purple for brown eyes. The bronze liquid liner really sparkles in the sun. A fun summery look that's perfect for the beach or even a hot summer night.

Products used:
  1. Urban Decay Primer Potion 'Sin'
  2. Lorac Eyeshadow 'Bronze'
  3. Urban Decay Eyeshadow 'Half Baked'
  4. Korres Eyeshadow '24s Gold'
  5. Urban Decay Eyeshadow 'Flash'
  6. Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner 'Zero'
  7. Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner 'Lust'
  8. Too Faced Liquid Eyeliner 'Metal Eyed Brown Sugar'
  9. Makeup Forever Mascara 'Aqua Smokey Eye'

Tools Used:

  1. Tarte Brush with Greatness double ended brush http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-brush-with-greatness
  2. Laura Mercier Eye Colour Brush http://www.lauramercier.com/store/shop/Brushes-for-Eyes-_Eye-Colour-Brush_prod220090
  3. Tarina Tarantino Crease Brush http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P254913&categoryId=C22000
  4. Sephora Platinum Smudge Brush #11 http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P102922&categoryId=C17412&shouldPaginate=true

How to:

  1. Apply U.D. Primer Potion all over eyelid up to brows. 'Sin' has a slight shimmer to it. This will help your eyeshadow color shimmer even more.
  2. Apply Lorac Bronze eyeshadow with the flat end of the Tarte brush, all over eye lid.
  3. Apply Lorac Bronze eyeshadow with rounded edge into the crease.
  4. Lightly blend color in crease with T.T. crease brush to soften color.
  5. Apply Korres Gold eyeshadow with crease brush under brows for a soft highlight.
  6. If needed, go back and apply more Bronze into crease and blend with crease brush to get rid of any harsh edges. (Sometimes steps 3,4,5 need to be repeated for desired outcome of "look")
  7. Apply U.D. Half Baked to inner 1/3 corner of eye w/Laura Mercier brush. This gives the shadow some dimension on the lid and brightens it up.
  8. Line upper lash line with U.D. 24/7 Zero
  9. Using Too Faced liquid liner Brown Sugar, line on top of Zero. This technique makes the liquid liner more opaque. It also helps if you aren't very good at using a liquid, you can use the pencil line as a guide.
  10. Apply U.D. 24/7 eyeliner Lust on lower lash line, smudge with smudge brush.
  11. Using Sephora Smudge brush, apply U.D. eyeshadow Flash on lower lash line, setting the pencil for more longer wear.
  12. Finish with Makeup Forever Aqua Smokey Eye for waterproof protection on top and bottom lashes.

  2. For Blue eyes: I like anything blue/green or anything brown that has some gold tones to it - Urban Decay (for ex.) 24/7 pencil in Flipside, Binge, Deviant or UD 24/7 pencil in Bourbon.
    For Green eyes: I like anything that is copperish or plums that have a red undertone to it. The red actually counteracts with the green to make your eyes pop. UD 24/7 pencil in Bourbon, 1999, Crash
    For Hazel eyes: To bring out the green use any of the above, to bring out the gold in your eye color, try a greenish color like UD 24/7 Mildew, Stash or even Peacock. :)
