Tutorial: New Year at Poolside



As always, start with priming your eye with your favorite primer:

Apply turquoise eyeshadow to whole lid ( mine is MakeupGeek Poolside, but MAC Cool Heat is quite close dupe, or MUFE #83):

Then apply dark brown to crease (mine is MakeupGeek Bada Bing, but ie. MAC Showstopper might work):

Blend lighter, preferably red-based brown upwards from the crease (Mine is Makeupgeek Goddess & Mocha):

Then add a hint of black shadow to outer corner and crease to bring a bit more depth (I used MUG Corrupt):

Then the glitter.
I used Fyrinnea's Pixie Epoxy, I carefully patted it over the shadow. I also added a hint of MUG White Lies to highlight:

And still being careful, I patted MUFE Diamond powder #008 to middle of the lid:

I did the same thing for the brown area with MUFE Diamond Powder #015:

I also applied the tiniest amount of black glitter (MUFE #110) over the black shadow, and then I lined my upper lashline with liquid black liner:

Then I lined my lower lashline with MUFE Aqua Eyes pencil #12L:

I blended the pencil with MUG Poolside, and liner my waterline with black pencil:

Then I just added mascara:

And finished the look with false lashes:

Done!

  17. I like how you added a full face shot. It helps to see the whole balance of the look and not just one eye. It look wearable and not just art. :)

  22. I normally love your tutorials and i really like this look, but i feel like your posts are becoming more and more MUG centered. And then I go on MUG and there's only posts about actual makeup looks like once or twice a season. It's disappointing because I used to really look forward to your more creative looks and now I feel like this blog isn't what it was before, it's more like MUG part 2. :(

  23. Wow... I wish I could be able do anything close to this or any of your makeups :)
    I try though...
    I first intended on buying SMH eyeshadows but I completly fell in love with your Cranberry Smoke look so I went for Make up Geek's products which I REALLY love, so thanks for that!
    What I'd like to know is how you would compare SMH and MUG overall ? Which brand is best according to you ?
    Thanks :)
