We are all guilty of falling into makeup ruts,
sometimes I just look at my colorful Urban Decay palettes and I wish I could smother
my face in them. But how can you incorporate color into your neutral looks
without looking like a total clown? I want to show you how to achieve a hot
makeup trend that is going around social media right now, which helps you
incorporate color without looking like a unicorn dumped a rainbow on your face.
Yes it’s true it can be very easy to fall into a makeup routine with
neutral eyes, a little black liner, and nude lip. It’s classic, in style,
pretty and simple, but half the fun of makeup is experimentation, is it not? I
know getting creative can be difficult sometimes, which is why I often use
outlets like Pinterest and Instagram to help inspire me, and encourage all of
you to do the same! In this post I will be highlighting some ways to
incorporate color in ways that wont deviate too much from your day-to-day
looks, but will help you learn how to use color in fun and playful ways.
The Colorful Smoky Eye:
This is probably one of the simplest ways to incorporate color into your look.
If you are a smoky eyed girl all you need to do is substitute your neutral
skin-tone lid color for a vibrant color that will make your eyes pop. For
instance greens are perfect for ladies with brown eyes, purples go nicely with
ladies with green and blue eyes, so give this one a try. For my look I used a
one-color shadow to create a simple smoky eye that incorporates lots of color.
Don’t have a colorful palette to help you achieve this look? Look into Urban
Decay palettes! Don’t want to splurge on colorful shadows you may not use too
often, a more affordable alternative is the Morphe 35S palette.
The Inner Corner POP of Color:
This is the trend I am most enthusiastic about, since I feel it is the boldest
of all the looks. It turns out nothing opens up your eyes quite like adding a
light, shimmery shade to the inner corner of your eye. Normally this area is
reserved for neutral and Champaign color shimmy shades, almost as a highlight
to the inner part of the eye. Use pastel colors and bright shades to achieve a
pop of color in this eye area. Pinks and yellows could make for a beautiful and
surprising look. For my look I turned to my Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist
Shadow Palette for a pop of yellow in the inner corner and gel liner in yellow
to balance the eye look. As I stated
earlier I tend to get inspired a lot by beauty gurus on Instagram and this look
is no exception. I tried to recreate this lovely, very Coachella inspired look
from the gorgeous and talented Melissa Alatorre (@alatoreee). Comment below if you think I succeeded and
producing a good look. The products I used vary significantly from hers but I
will list all products I used below.
The Cat Eye: Back liner
is old news! This Spring incorporate some fun color into your look by
substituting out that boring black and brown eyeliner for a vibrant pop of
color liner. Blue, green, and purple are three very flattering shades that are easy
to pull off and instantly demand attention! If you want to try extra bold go
with yellow or pink like I did in my look.
The best gel crème liners I have used for this purpose are the Anastasia
Beverly hills Waterproof Crème Color bases, but you could also use wet eye
shadows or color eyeliner. Can’t find a shade you like? Look into Colourpop’s
extensive Crème Gel Liners in every color you could dream of.
The Bold Waterline: If I
haven’t gotten your creative juices flowing by now I have one last color trend
you could easily incorporate this Spring. The colorful waterline is one of the
simplest and coolest ways to add a pop of bright shades into your makeup looks.
With this look the options are endless! Use a white eyeliner to open the eye up
on the waterline itself, then smoke it out underneath with a shimmery blue or
mint or even purple eyeshadow. If you don’t like using white liner and then a
color shadow, simply use a color liner and smoke it out on the waterline.
I hope you have enjoyed these makeup trends on how to use pops of
color here and there to make your eye looks fun and festive for the Spring! If
