There are many times that I'm applying make up and I don't have the exact color I need. With lipsticks it's quite easy to blend a few together to make the color I'm missing, but did you know it's just as easy to do that with eye shadow? All it takes is a little layering. For this particular look I wanted an eyeshadow color that mimicked the reflection of the sequins on my shirt.
Follow these steps as I show you how I make the exact color I was needing.
Lid color #1, Silver, was applied to the eye lid and the Brow Highlight was added to the brow bone using the 242 brush.
Lid color #2, Pink, was brushed on top of the silver using the 242 brush.
A warm, red based brown was blended into the crease with the 217 brush.
I lined the top and bottom lid with a gel eyeliner using a 263 brush.
Using a black eyeshadow and the 266 brush, I gently smudged the eyeshadow into the gel liner.
Add mascara.
Using the 263 brush and the gel eyeliner, paint the inner water line of the eye for this finished look.
I'd love to help you create a color that you're missing. Let me know if you have any questions!
