Makeup Tutorial: Bright, Bold, Pink Eyes

This tutorial is over one of my favorite looks, pink eyeshadow! I hate saying "pink eyes" because your brain automatically goes to conjunctivitis. Ew.

Fortunately, this blog is over pretty pink eyeshadow. :)

"Woodstock"


You will need:

 - A bold, bright, pigment-rich pink shadow. Urban Decay's "Woodstock" is perfect.
 - A darker shade for the crease
 - A highlighting shade, with a pink tint
 - Primer
 - Set Powder
 - Eyeliner
 - Mascara
 - (Optional) Glitter eyeliner

I will use UD Naked palette for all of the colors except "Woodstock". Here is my map:

That's right, all both of them.


First, start (as always) with set powder and potion primer.




Apply "Sin" to the inner corner of your eyes, underneath, and across your brow bone.




With the pink shadow, you need to really pack the pigment in. Luckily, Urban Decay shadows are very pigment-rich. Apply a thick layer of "Woodstock" to your lid. Also sweep a thin line underneath your eye in the remaining two thirds not covered by "Sin".





"Hustle" is great for the crease because it's a darker hue, but still has pinkish hints. Apply and blend.




Now go back over the lid and crease with "Woodstock" and blend.


Demonstrating the importance of set powder in this one...

Reapply "Sin" to make sure your highlighted areas stand out.






Finish with eyeliner and mascara. A fun addition to this look is glitter liner, just apply on the bottom lash line and blend so as not to look like a stripper...unless you're going for that.





Add your favorite gloss (nude or pink works well) and you're ready to go!

Oh, aren't I darling.
For a night look, add black to the outer corners, and thicken the liner.

Please excuse my gratuitous use of eyebrow in this one!
