TUTORIAL: Bright Tropical



Here is a tropical, bright look inspired by the lovely Lauren (AKA the Queen of Blending)

Products:
(MAC unless otherwise stated)
Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion (UDPP)
Otherworldly Paint Pot (p/p)
Purple Haze eyeshadow (e/s)
Pagan e/s
Chrome Yellow e/s
Fresh Green Mix e/s
Humid e/s
Sea & Sky e/s
Blacktrack fluidline (eyeliner)
Fascinating (eyeliner)
Chill e/s

Process:
Start by priming the lid with UDPP from lid to brow bone. Next, take a white eyeliner pencil (Fascinating) and draw a line directly under your eyebrow, blend it out with a your finger. With a highlight brush, take a white eyeshadow (Chill) and lightly go over it. Use a bright blue cream eyeshadow (Otherworldly) to cover your entire eyelid to just above the crease. Take a bright yellow eyeshadow (Chrome Yellow) and put that directly over the white on your brow bone. Blend down into the blue cream eyeshadow with a lime green (Pagan), blending it out toward the edge of your eyebrow. Take a bright purple and blend into the inner corner, until it blends well with the cream eyeshadow. Note that if you have a bright blue eyeshadow, you can use that in place of the cream. Using a darker green (Humid) work it into just above your crease, blending into the lime green but leaving enough blue to be visable. Using a shiny lime green (Fresh Green Mix) line the bottom lash line and blend it outward. Line the inner corners of the lash line with a shimmery blue (Sea & Sky). Line your top lashline with a liquid liner (Blacktrack). Add fake eyelashes if you so choose or line your waterline (I didn't, mine is too sensitive) And you're done!
