The Look: Color in the Comfort Zone

It’s Spring, and that means color, but if you have read my past blogs you know I am a bit shy when it comes to incorporate color in my makeup, specially in my eye makeup. This time I didn’t went to far from my comfort zone, but I incorporated some color in there, I’m proud.

Since I received Morphe’s The Jaclyn Hill Palette I’ve been in love. And of course that is the palette I used to create this look.

Since I have gotten accustomed to only doing my face makeup, and a little bit of mascara for work I started this time with my face makeup, but when working with colorful or dramatic eyes I always recommend doing the eyes first. So that being said, I will star with explaining what I did with the eyes.

I first applied a little bit of concealer and powder as a base. I then went with “Creamsicle” a matte toasted orange eyeshadow in the crease. For the upper lid I used “Silk Creme” a matte cream, nude shade. Then I smudge a little bit of “Mocha” as eyeliner in the upper lid. Now the fun part begins. In the inner conner I used “Pool Party” a shimmery light blue, aqua shade. To finish this simple, but colorful look I first applied “Enchanted” in the lower lid, a matte dark green eyeshadow and then I blend it with “Jada” a matte emerald shade. Add a couple coats of mascara and done.

For the face I applied my foundation, concealer, I contoured and apply powder. I used a shimmery peachy blush and finished with some never missing highlighter. As for lipstick I used pinkish-nude lipgloss.

This was so much fun, I loved how it turned out. I liked incorporating color in the inner color, when usually what we tend to use there are light shimmering shades. I will definitely be using color in the inner conner more often.

Please tell me, how do you incorporate color in your makeup?
