Makeup : Summer Sunset makeup

Aloha dear friends :)

I'm glad you are back , today i will show you step-by-step how i got my "Summer Sunset Makeup"  which i tried for fun and i liked a lot how it turned out :) Inspired by the beautiful colours of summer sky during sunset <3 
To begin with , the final result is a combination of many different eyeshadows which give this sunset sense through blending them together gently . Here's my tutorial to get this look, you can also get inspired and try your own ideas :) Let's get started !! 

STEP ONE :

Follow your typical preparation routine for your skin and create an ideal base for your make up . You can find out how to get a flawless look HERE 

STEP TWO :

Since you are done with your preparation and foundation you are now ready to proceed to eye makeup part .

First of all let's see what you will need to get this look . Here is a pallet of non-glitter eyeshadows that i used for this look and i put numbers to show you which of them i used so that you'll be able to understand which one comes next . 



















  • Eyeshadow work

1) Use a small brush , take some pure white eyeshadow and apply it on the inner corners of your eyes

2) Take some of the eyeshadow #2 and apply it across the whole eyelid except the inner corners that must remain white . If in any step you accidentally cover them with another colour ( ex. through blending ) don't forget to apply #1 to the inner corners again. 





3) Using a proper brush , apply the eyeshadow #3 on the outter corners of your eyes starting from the center of your eyelid. Also use this colour across the bow right above your eyelid (under the bone) to create a deep look. It will look a little messy at first but you can smooth it using a thick brush.




4) Repeat the process using the 4th eyeshadow and apply is ALSO across the line of your upper eyelashes. Use a thick brush and blend gently the eyeshadows with direction TO inner corners.




5) After you ensure inner corners are still white , apply the light lilac colour on a thick vertical line just next to white colour of your inner corners

6) Continue with pink colour , forming a vertical line next to the lilac one , almost in the middle of your eyelid.






7) Use your fingertip to take some deep orange eyeshadow and tap it gently two-three times on the center of your eyelids.




8) Use again a thick brush to blend them smoothly BUT the direction will be from inner to outter corners this time . 




9) Take some dark purple eyeshadow and reshape the outter corners . Don't forget to smooth the line creating a nice purple shadow effect. 






  • Eyepencils' duty
  1. Draw carefully the line of your upper eyelashes using a dark brown eyepencil . Try to make the line as thin as possible.
  2. Do the same for your lower eyelashes' line using a dark purple eyepencil ( i used Maybelline New York ones since it's too soft and long lasting )   




***** 
(Optional) 

Use your fingertip to take ONLY a touch of some light gold glitter eyeshadow and tap once the center of your eyelids gently . 
This will brighten the whole look :) 

*****







  • Mascara BOOM !
Finish your look using a killer black mascara ( i used Estee Lauder classic black) both on upper and lower eyelashes ! Congratulations ! Now your eyes look super killer sexy :D






STEP THREE : 

Time to make your cheeks super healthy looking ! Apply (only a little) pink blush under your cheek bones or light peach one if you have tanned or dark coloured skin ^_^ 






STEP FOUR :


Super lips is the last but not least touch ! You can either add a pink/coral lipgloss or a darker pink lipstick. I prefer bold colours on my lips and i used a crimson lip-pencil , great colour and super long lasting ! If you apply lip-pencil instead of lipstick BE SURE you have hydrated lips otherwise they may crack spoiling the whole lip makeup .               






And here's the final look
