Maybelline EyeStudio Look #1: Spring Reflections

**click to enlarge pictures and see colour placement**

Spring is here so bring out the pastels! I love pairing colours together that are on opposite sides of the colour wheel so that they really compliment each other and stand out. Today I opted for very spring colours: pale lavendar and mint green. I used quite a sheer application to make it wearable for the office, but you can certainly play up the colours by applying the shadows wet. Do be advised that these products have a lot of fall-out so applying foundation after eye makeup is advised (what I should have done). 

See instructions and product list below:

Instructions

Eyes:

1) Using the #10 Lavendar Mineral Eyeshadow duo, apply the marbelized side over your lid up to the crease using a shader brush.

2) Using the solid lavendar side of the #10 Lavendar Mineral Eyeshadow Duo, apply the colour into your crease starting on the outer corner of the eye and working half-way in along your crease.

3) Using the #30 Purple Icon Palette, apply the darkest purple on the very outer edge of your crease and blend it into the lavendar with back and forth motions. Try and keep this colour just to the outer 1/3 of your crease to keep this a light, daytime look.

4) Still using the #30 Purplie Icon Palette, apply the white shimmer colour to your browbone as a highlight, and in the inner corner of the eye.

5) Using the green colour from the #40 Green with Envy palette, apply it with a pencil brush to your lower lashline giving the colour a drop-down effect.

6) Use the Eyestudion Liner in Eggplant and the accompanying brush to draw a very thin line along your lashline line, barely flicking it out into a wing.

7) Apply both the primer and mascara from the XXL Pro Curl tube.

Cheeks:

1) Using the #30 Purple Icon Palette, take the white shimmer colour with a fluffy brush and apply it lightly to your cheekbones as a highlight.

2) Using the marbelized side of the #40 Mocha Mineral Eye Duo, apply it to the apples of your cheek as a sheer pink blush
