"Sunny Side Up" - Eye makeup


Hey babes! I'm so excited to share this makeup look with you guys today! This has been one of my favorite looks I've created recently! I used orange and yellow shadows + the "sandwich" technique I talked about in my last post. I started off by taking around 4-5 different shades of orange (going lightest to darkest) and one by one I blend them into the crease and down into the inner and outer corner to create that "sandwich". Next I took a matte yellow and applied it into the center of my lid. Over top of the yellow, I applied a transparent glitter over top the yellow shadow. To get a similar look to this though, you don't have to use as many shadows as I did, I just like my looks to have a lot of dimension to them. To finish off the look I rimmed my eyes with a black kohl liner and added a pair of whispy false lashes. On the lower lash line, I smoked it out using a couple of the darker orange shades, then blended it all out with the yellow eyeshadows.
*I used all matte shadows on this look*

"Urban Savage" Purple & Teal "Sandwich" Eyes


Hey babes!! I'm so happy to be back blogging again! I needed to take a break for a while, just so I could get my ish together, but now I'm back and so freaking excited to share my looks with you again!
For this look I used the "sandwich" technique, which means you "sandwich" a lighter color in between a darker color. This not only gives great dimension to a look, but also create a rounder/more wide eyed look. I also added a large graphic liner to make the look more dramatic. I paired matching purple lips to complete the look!!
