3 Eye Makeup Looks for Spring

April 7th, 2010

ABC

Rock these looks for the eyes this season. Lively, stylish bright colors to celebrate spring. We’ve heard it a thousand times, “The eyes are the windows to the soul”. Now wouldn’t you want yours to mesmerize and captivate? With these palettes, get ready for loads of compliments coming your way.
A: Vivid is the word. This eye palette features bold, daring colors that are not for the faint-hearted or timid. BUT definitely perfect for someone who craves attention or the spotlight. Wear it during lunchdates or when hitting the mall with your girlfriends. Lancome Color Design Eyeshadow - 406 Indian Rose
First apply a primer or an eyeshadow base as it will create the perfect base for the eye makeup. Take Lancome Color Design Eyeshadow in Indian Rose and using a flat brush, apply to the eyelid at the crease, extending to the outer corner. Dab lightly as you go farther out to create the illusion of fading. Add shimmer under the brows and tearduct area. Use a blending brush to blend these two colors seamlessly. Now to tackle the undereye portion, use an angle brush to apply Versace Eyeshadow Duo No. 28, carefully tracing the line, the outside having the stronger color and adding shimmer where the inner corners of the eye meet. Apply a dark mascara to finish this eye makeup look.

B: This look is more mellow than the first one. You might argue that this palette is for winter season, but these colors also remind us of clear, blue skies and cornflowers. The combination of silver and blue eyeshadows are perfectly fresh, cool and youthful. Wear it to the office, Sunday brunch or garden party. This palette will make you look so unforgettably pretty that you will never again underestimate the power of subtlety. Yves Saint Laurent Ombre Vibration Duo - Steel Blue/Silver Mist
The steps in achieving this eye makeup look are very easy. Just repeat the steps mentioned above up until applying the eyeshadow. Then, using a flat brush or an eyeliner brush like Stila’s One Step Eyeliner Brush in size 13S, dab Yves Saint Laurent Ombre Vibration Duo – #27 Steel Blue/Silver Mist on the lashline, using the Steel Blue pigment and with a definer brush, spread color the color out until you have achieved the look that you want. Apply the Silver Mist shade right below the brow and inner corner of the eye to add interest. To finish up, apply an eyeliner (we suggest a long wearing eyeliner to last the whole day like Sisley Phyto Khol Perfect Eyeliner with Blender and Sharpener in Black)  and a dark mascara.

C: If you want just the right amount of mystery and charm, this is the look you should go for. The effect is Audrey Hepburn meets Gwen Stefani. Perfect for a hot night out with the girls or dining out with a special someone. Sisley Phyto Ombre Eclat Eyeshadow - Anis
This eye makeup look is the spring variation of the smokey eyes. The first step is to apply a primer or an eyeshadow base to help your makeup last all day and stay in place. Beginning at the outer corners of the eye, dab Sisley’s Phyto Ombre Eclat Eyeshadow in Graphite, make the color on the outside portion stronger to make the eyes appear bigger and wider, cat-like. After darkening the crease, take Sisley Phyto Ombre Eclat Eyeshadow in Anis and apply on the inner portion of the eye. Use a brush to blend where the two eyeshadow colors meet. After blending, press Sisley’s Phyto Ombre Eclat Eyeshadow in Graphite to the lashline with an angle brush to accentuate the smokey effect. Line the eyes with Helena Rubinstein’s Silky Eye Crayon Eye Liner in Silky Black. Make eyelashes look fuller and longer by applying mascara on top and bottom lashes. You might also want to put on false eyelashes for a more dramatic look. Sisley Phyto Ombre Eclat Eyeshadow - # 08 Graphite
