Now all I have to do is practise!

i’m a big fan of jewel-toned blues and greens – favs include urban decay graffiti, which is a beautiful grass-green, and makeup forever majorelle blue, the prettiest royal blue ever.

some of my (asian) friends who don’t have double eyelids like to use their normal black eyeliner on the top lid to open up their eyes, then a swipe of bright color on the lower lid. it’s a really neat, unexpected technique and a lot of fun.

I’m getting excited just reading this post. I love bright eyeliners! I have like five shades of bright sparkly teal ranging from sky blue to dark peacock. I have other brights that I enjoy wearing but for some reason I just love the blue-greens. I also love those Urban Decay 24/7 pencils – they are awesome! In winter I wear a lot of smoky eyes and darker colors – what I like to think of as grown up makeup – but in spring/summer, I break out with all the fun bright colors and just go wild.

This is how I do it: I usually just use a sheer wash of neutral (yet slightly shimmery) shadow on the entire lid. Then I line both the top and bottom lid with the bright color. If I’m going for an extra special look, I’ll line the inner corner of my eyes with a frosty white, silver, or a pale frosty variation of the same shade as the bright liner.

Ooh, I can’t wait for spring!
