Colorful Spring/Summer Makeup

 
Comments Off on Colorful Spring/Summer Makeup

Hello Makeup Geeks! Today I have a beautiful summer look for you using some blues, greens and even some pinks. I will also give you some alternatives to make this look more wearable if you don’t want to wear this much color. I really wanted to do something with a fun glitter on the middle of eye, something fresh and spring inspired. I will also be using one of my new pigments on the center of the eye so you will get the first look at these amazing pigments!

So let’s begin on this cool spring look. :-)

Taylor Swift has worn some beautiful makeup looks, but this gold looks is one of my favorites!  I love how simple yet stunning this makeup is against her blue eyes.  I wanted to recreate this look using inexpensive products, so I pulled out my ELF 144 neutral palette. This glamorous look is easy to do and perfect for a day out or a evening with that special someone.  Have fun with your makeup!

Marlena

Hair

Bohemian Look_Hair_New

For the hair you just want to create beachy waves. Use an 1 1/2 inch curling iron and take sections of your hair and with the curling iron open wrap the hair around the iron, away from the face, and hold for about 30 seconds. You could also use a curling wand for this and it would be easier. Once you have your hair curled, use your fingers to break up the curls to achieve those bouncy, beach waves. To finish the hair part, use a elastic head band and wrap around the forehead making sure to pull the hair up slightly at the roots and style it as you like.

Make sure you see this post on Simply Marlena for a breakdown on the outfit and nails.
