Hello everyone and welcome back to another “Wednesday
Wishlist” edition! If you are new to my blog, this series highlights makeup or
fashion pieces that have just hit the market and have you wondering if they are
worth adding to your season’s wishlist. This week I have been seeing a lot of
trendy makeup looks popping up using fun colorful eyeliners in new and creative
ways, and so I decided to give this trend a breakdown and whether you should or
shouldn’t invest in colorful liners for the summer season.
The hottest trend in makeup since the liquid lipstick and
brow wiz, comes the new age of fun colorful makeup looks with eyeliners. Who
knew you could use eyeliners in so many different and creative ways. I have to
admit what really got me looking into this trend was the launch of the
colourpop cosmetics colorful eyeliners in pencil and gel form. These are for
certain on my wishlist!
I wanted to take you through different and creative ways to
use colorful liners as well as a list of liners I think are worth the splurge,
or at the very least adding them to your summer wishlist. I will also be
discussing what liners I am lusting over and why. Now lets get on with the look.
1.)
The
Cut Crease Color Eyeliner Look:
I will admit this colorful makeup looks a lot more
complicated than it really is. The trick is to blend and build your crease
shadow colors until you have a very graphic and defined looking crease. Start
with a clean base and make sure to use an eyeshadow primer. One of my favorites
is the original UD primer potion. Then I took the UD naked smoky palette and
using the colors combust and whiskey I mixed the two blending them into the
crease of my eyes until I had a very defined line. You can use any mid tone nude
matte shadow and dark brown matte eyeshadow you want, just make sure they are
matte and one is slightly darker than your skin tone while the other is
slightly darker than that. This will help create that gradient effect. Next
comes the fun part. Using a detail brush use concealer to clean on the lid
below the crease to make it appear even more graphic like. Then use any nude
tone made shadow to set the concealer on the lid. Finally, adding on the
colorful eyeliner. Using a precision angled brush or eyeliner pencil if you are
not using gel. Draw the color lines right where the concealer touches the
gradient of the cut crease. This will add a flare of color to your look and
help you use color eyeliner in a way you never thought possible.
2.)
The
Waterline Color Eyeliner Look:
This is probably one of the simplest color eyeliner looks to
achieve. Begin with a simple everyday neutral look, or even a smoky eye look
like the one I show here. Any eyeshadow look will do just fine. The intent is
to give the look a slight edge and pop of color underneath on the waterline.
For my look I simply used a yellow color eyeliner gel and a yellow eyeshadow to
blend out the liner on the waterline. Easy peasy!
3.)
The
Ombre Cat Eye Color Eyeliner Look:
This eyeliner look also looks more complicated than it
really is, but I promise with a steady hand a little practice you’ll be rocking
this look just about anywhere. For this look I used two different pastel color
eyeliners, keep in mind you can use any colors you like, purple with pink,
green with yellow, dark blue with light blue. I love the color contrast between
yellow and pastel aqua. The best way to achieve this look is to use colors that
blend well together and create a seamless appearance when blended on the
eyelid. So for my look I took the yellow, light color from the inner part of my
tear duck to about half the way down my lid. Then using the aqua color I
blended it in the middle with the yellow and drew it out all the way into a cat
eye. That’s it! Try to keep the rest of the look as neutral as possible so that
the eyeliner simply just adds a pop of color to the lid.
Color Eyeliner
Wishlist:
I am extremely intrigued by glitter eyeliners. I have used
some by MAC cosmetics and have enjoyed playing with those a lot. I wonder how
well these glide on and what the pigmentation is like? I have to say though UD
has never let me down so I would imagine these would be worth looking into if
you are a color eyeliner fiend like me.
They claim to be extremely creamy enough to apply and make
blending super easy. The formula dries down for long-lasting wear. Because the
liner is so creamy, they do not break down or crumble or flake off on your
eyes. You can smoke it out, smooth it on, or glide it on. I am dying to give
these babies a try. Comment below if you have tried these out and your
thoughts?
I will vouch for these till I am blue in the face. I
absolutely love these gel liners. They glide on smoothly. Dry down matte and
they never move, once they set. If you have not given these gel liners a shot
you need to right now! I promise they will not disappoint. I need to honestly
get more!
I hope you all enjoyed learning how to recreate these
colorful eyeliner makeup looks. For more “Wednesday Wishlist” posts be sure to
