Spring/Summer Eyes

We’re going to start with the feature people most often notice: your eyes!
This spring and summer, eye color is all about being playful with exciting floral-inspired colors.

Eye color isn’t as difficult as you might think, as long as you apply some basic rules:

Decide what eye look you want: natural, professional or glamorous.
Decide if you want to apply your eye color in twos or threes.
Always start with a base shade that covers your entire eyelid.
Always use a lighter shade to highlight the area right underneath your brow.
If you look in the mirror and are not comfortable with your eye look, just start over.
(This defeats the purpose of feeling good about yourself!)

I’m going to show you how to do a spring eye look, with some of those on-trend floral colors. (If you want to copy my choices, I’ll be using Mary Kay products. Feel free to substitute colors/brands to your liking.)

Next, apply your base shade across your entire eyelid. Here I used mineral eye color in Precious Pink because of its somewhat neutral, yet spring pastel color.

Lastly, finish your eyes with a light, shimmery color highlighting the area between your eyelid and eyebrow and with volumizing mascara. I chose mineral eye color in Moonstone for its simple glittery effect J and Lash Love mascara.

First, you want to start with eyeliner. Here I applied Deep Brown directly underneath the eyes. You could also use black eyeliner instead if you want.

Then, apply a different, bolder shade along the outside of your eye to form a “V” shape. You want to apply both in your outer eye crease and along the outside of your lower lash line. Here I chose mineral eye color in Iris.

Complete the Look

With a berry-colored blush and pink lip gloss.
Here I used mineral blush in Cherry Blossom and Nourishine Lip Gloss in Fancy Nancy.

This look is great for any occasion!

Well, that’s our first make-up tutorial. Love it? Hate it? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
