Spring Time

Spring is FINALLY here! 

Spring is my favorite time of year. Besides the awesome transformation of bulky jackets and boots to flowing dresses and sandals, there are so many things to inspire creativity.  I am always inspired when I wear cute outfits or see the gorgeous flowers blooming to experiment with bright colors of eyeshadows, blushes and especially lipsticks. Fun shades of yellow, blues and purples are my favorite, especially with a great tan. 

This is a quick and simple yellow/orange combo I did this weekend. I used the ELF palette and a few simple colors. 

I used color #1 (tan) as a neutral base color and put it all over my lid and a highlight under the brow

I then took color #2 (peachy orange) and put it in my crease as a transition color and also on the lid

I used color #3 (red) very lightly packed it onto the outer corner and crease.

color #4 (orange) I packed it on the lid and blended it out to the outer corner with the red

I then took color #5 (yellow) and put it in the inner corner and tear duct also I blended it into the orange for a highlight to brighten up the eye

Now it's time for lipstick! 

Mac Flamingo is one of my favorite lipsticks because it is a gorgeous peachy nude. It is also a Lustre finish which I really like because it leaves your lips soft and supple with a great color. This is a limited edition lipstick from the All About Orange collection but it has come back for a short time. 

Time to STOCK UP !
