Pastel Rainbow

Hi all! I apologize for missing 2 days of tutorials. To be honest, I had 1 tutorial but I wasn’t too happy with how it turned out. So, I rather postponed the post than posting a not-so-great tutorial.

Anyhow, I decided to use my Coastal Scents 88 Prism palette  (only $19.95!) for the look, so it’s easier for whoever wants to re-create this look. If you do decide to re-create the look, please link me up!

The reason why I wanted to use the Coastal Scents 88 Prism palette is to create a pastel finish to the look. I quite like how this turned out. I was quite skeptical cause I like a shimmery finish, but as I said I love how this turns out! I’ve labelled the colors that I used in the picture below, so please refer to the colors on the tutorial.

The steps are quite long, so please be patient reading it…the key to this tutorial is to have clean flat eyeshadow brushes (or you can clean in between steps). Make sure it’s clean so the colors don’t get muddy and mixed up.

6. I applied eyeshadow F on the outer V using a small fluffy brush.

Tropics

I was just thinking about doing a bright makeup look and I remembered about my MAC Shimmermoss eyeshadow, which was shattered due to the long flight from Canada to Jakarta. I managed to salvage it and pressed it back together by pouring alcohol to the shattered eyeshadow, mixed it around to make it into a paste and pressed it down, then letting it dry. The eyeshadow is as good as brand new and no change in texture nor color. I was one happy gal! 😀

Anyways, I thought I’d throw in an orange and brown to make the look wearable, but not boring. I think this look is very summery and have a tropic vibe to it. Kinda remind you of the beaches, no?

How-t0:

1. I primed my eyes by applying MAC Bare Study paint pot all over my eyelid using my finger.

2. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied MAC Shimmermoss eyeshadow on the eyelid.

3. Using a small shader brush, I applied the darkest brown on the 88 coastal scents prism palette on the outer V and on the crease.

4. I blended an orange eyeshadow (the lightest orange from the 88 coastal scents prism palette) on the crease using a clean blending brush.

5. On the waterline, I applied MAC Chromagraphic eyeliner in NC30.

6. Using an angled eyeliner brush, I applied the same orange eyeshadow as step 4 on top of the beige (nude) eyeliner on the waterline. You can skip this step by leaving the eyeliner beige/nude or apply a black liner to intensify the look.

7. Using a pencil brush, I applied the darkest brown from the 88 prism palette on the outer lower lash line and MAC shimmermoss on the inner lower lash line.

8. I created a winged liner using Kat Von D Trooper eyeliner.

9. I filled in my brows using Anastasia Brow Express Kit powder in Brunette.

10. I curled my lashes and applied Dior Overcurl mascara on both top and bottom lashes.

11. For the face, I applied Urban Decay Naked Foundation using a foundation brush.

12. I contoured the sides of my nose and under my cheeks using MAC Shadowy and a face fan brush.

13. For the cheeks, I applied MAC Peaches.

14. Top it all off with Revlon Mauve It Over on the lips.
