Different Eye Makeup Looks

I had lots of fun doing these looks, I'm sure you will too...

One of my favorite passtimes (probably my favorite actually!) is to try different eye makeup looks. Either by myself or getting together with girlfriends and having fun. It's only when you try colors on that you actually see if they work on you. Colors you never thought would go together or are too bold turn out fabulous on you.

COOL GREEN EYES LOOK

I was a little skeptical about using canary yellow in my inner eye corners but it blended perfectly with the different shades of summer greens we applied. I have brown eyes with slight green infusions and this look really brought out the green. I loved it and will definitely wear it during summer time.

As usual I used the oldest trick in the book to brighten my eyes (more tricks here). I lined my lower lash line with a white pencil. I use this trick practically every day. When you reach your thirties, your eyes need a little help :-)

GLITTER SUMMER EYE LOOK

This is obviously a summer look with plenty of glitter. I was very careful not to apply glitter anywhere near the lower lash line as it would have highlighted my wrinkles. The colors are a grey/black/brown and they blended very well together. Definitely a yes for a hot summer evening to show off my tan.

NEUTRAL EYE LOOK WITH A TWIST

I needed a look for a work dinner so I came up with this eye makeup look. I used the technique of the neutral look but added a twist to spice it up. I mixed the nude brown colors with a rich plum (on the outer crease) and the result was an aubergine brown. The final touch was a dab of white highlighter on the brow bone. I loved it and so did my work colleagues. Simple but elegant eye makeup look.

SUMMER FROST EYES

This eye look is very dramatic, I know, but it looked great against my tanned skin. I used three shades of icy blues and two shades of icy greys. I then outlined my eyes with an electric blue eyeliner, making sure the bottom line was thicker than usual. Black mascara was the final touch. Perfect for tanned skin!

So, I invite you to do the same. Have a makeup party with your friends. Put on some great music, prepare a few snacks and unleash your creative side. Not only it's a wonderfully bonding exercise to try makeup combinations on with your friends but it's a sure way to discover what looks good on you.

Don't be afraid to experiment with colors, you'll be amazed at the different combinations you can mix and match. And you'll have tons of fun trying :-)
