I looove the rainbow-y iridescence of this look! I felt like I had butterfly wings painted on my eyes. :) There are 3 important steps to this look:

  • Eyeshadows that blend well together.
  • Colors that complement each other.
  • Blending itself.

Read on to find out how to make this rainbowy goodness!


INGREDIENTS

All colors available on limecrimemakeup.com

  • Eyes: Circus Girl yellow, Elf green, Mermaid turquoise, Shoe Addict blue, Empress purple, Snow Queen white/turquoise eyeshadow
  • Black mascara, liquid eyeliner in black or brown, false lashes
  • Face: Sheer Magik Finish Pixie Dust, Marie Antoinette blush
  • Lips: coral gloss

Eyes

Prep your lids with a primer and apply Circus Girl on inner corners of the eye with a small brush (like #6 from this set). Apply Elf to the center of the lid with a larger brush. Don’t worry about blending yet. Shoe Addict and Empress go on the outer corners. With a crease brush (I love #5 from the same set), apply Mermaid into the crease and over the yellow.

Once all the colors are in place, you can begin blending. With a medium-sized rounded brush, blend until the transition is smooth. Apply Snow Queen on the brow bone and blend into the other colors. By the way, I am slowly beginning to realize that I can’t live without that color – it goes with everything!!

Anyway, back to the tut. :) Lined the inside of your lid with dark brown or black  liquid eyeliner. Be careful not to get that stuff in your eye – it won’t destroy it, but will be unpleasant. ;) Draw a thin line against the lashes, extending outwards. Once the eyeliner dries, apply fake eyelashes. Fill in eyebrows as usual.

Face

Moisturize your face and apply foundation & concealer as usual. I used Marie Antoinette, a gorgeous pale-pink blush, to give my cheeks a subtle wash of color, then set my face with Sheer Magik Finishing Pixie Dust for that velvety-smooth, flawless finish!

Lips

Line lips with a nude pencil. Fill in with coral semi-sheer lipstick or gloss. Voila!
