Loads of Makeup Geek (no surprise there), MAC and some Colour Pop thrown into the mix this week!

My absolute favourite YouTuber – Sharon Farrell – does some ridiculously stunning makeup tutorials. She often has neutral makeup, but she knows how to bust out a bright look too. I fell in love with her Desert Sunrise tutorial when she posted it in January, but never got around to trying it out. I finally did, and I loved the results!

Eyes

1. Makeup Geek Mesmerized through the crease.
2. Makeup Geek Sin City on the inner third of the lid.
3. Makeup Geek Roulette on the middle of the lid and on the middle of the lower lash line.
4. Makeup Geek Caitlin Rose on the outer corner and on the outer half of the lower lash line. The outer corner is also darkened up a bit with Makeup Geek Corrupt.
5. Makeup Geek Vanilla Bean on the brow bone.
6. Inglot Matte 370 on the inner corner with L’Oreal Infallible in Goldmine on top.

I tightlined my inner lash lines with Urban Decay‘s Black Velvet liner and used the same product to line my upper lash line. I applied Make Up For Ever Smoky Stretch mascara to my lashes and then added in some individual Ardell lashes.

I pulled out this “traditional” look because I was headed to my cousin’s baby shower and wanted to wear something flattering (the eyeshadows) while still wearing a really bold colour on the lips.

Eyes

1. Makeup Geek Grandstand all over the lid.
2. Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear on the outer corner and through the crease.
3. Makeup Geek Vanilla Bean on the browbone.

I created the wing with Catrice‘s Dating Joe Black liner and applied Make Up For EverSmoky Stretch mascara to my lashes. I then added in some Bombshell lashes by House of Lashes (my first time wearing House of Lashes… and holy crap I’m in love!).

Rest of the Face

• Bronzer: Hard Candy Hula Hula
• Blush: I think it was Hourglass Diffused Heat, but I’m not positive.
• Highlighter: MAC Soft & Gentle
• Lips: MAC Relentlessly Red

A quick re-post for posterity… I did this pastel rainbow look for Workaday Ramblings for April’s guest post.

Eyes

1. Too Faced Milk Chocolate through the crease.
2. MAC Sushi Flower on the inner corner of the lid.
3. Inglot Matte 334.
4. MAC Fade.
5. Sleek Cricket on the outer corner.
6. MAC Dazzlelight to highlight the brow.

I used MAC‘s Blacktrack fluidline to create the wing and then tightlined my upper waterline with Urban Decay‘s Black Velvet liner. I coated my lashes with Make Up For Ever‘s Smoky Stretch mascara.

Jill of Beauty Vixen was headed off to Mexico, so I helped her out with this look that was inspired by the flag of Mexico.

Eyes

• Makeup Geek Creme Brule through the crease.
• Makeup Geek Whites Lies on the inner half of the lid.
• MAC Landscape Green pigment on the outer half of the lid.
• Makeup Geek Bling on the brow bone.

I created the wing with MAC‘s Blacktrack fluidline and then tightlined my upper and lower lash lines with Urban Decay‘s Black Velvet liner. On my lower lash line I applied MAC‘sStrike While Haute eyeshadow and blended it out the edges with Makeup Geek‘s Creme Brule. On my lashes is Make Up For Ever‘s Smoky Stretch mascara.

Rest of the Face

• Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in shade 52 Vanilla
• Bronzer: Hard Candy Hula Hula
• Blush: essence Life’s a Cherry
• Highlighter: MAC Whisper of Gilt
• Lips: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella

Stop the presses! I have been after a neon red eyeshadow for a very long time. A lot of shadows have come close, but have never really quite hit the mark. Then came alongColour Pop‘s Erotic, and suddenly my search is over! Technically it’s a pressed pigment, but that’s never scared me away from using a product on my eyes. Erotic is incredible – it’s a neon red that has tiny specs of orange and pink glitter.

Eyes

So the eye look is easy on this one – the only shadow I’m wearing is Colour Pop‘s Erotic! I then created the wing with Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and lined my inner rim withUrban Decay‘s Black Velvet liner. On my lashes is Make Up For Ever‘s Smoky Stretch.
