FOTD (Feat. Urban Decay Electric Palette, MAC + Lime Crime!)

Candy shades are an iconic part of the warmer seasons for me.

Today's #FOTD embraces those shades.

I started with an eye primer (make up revolution) and adhesive base (nyx jumbo pencil in milk). Both are important for creating brighter looks. A primer will lock your shadow in place to prevent creasing and smudging whilst the pigment clings to the adhesive base, making it more vibrant. Find out more here: Eye Primer

I shaded the lid with Freak from the Urban Decay Electric Palette.

I created a soft base contour colour with Inglot's Freedom System Matte shadow in #346

Then further defined the eyes with Jilted from the Urban Decay Electric Palette

I lined the upper lids with Collection's Fast Stroke eyeliner in Black.

I used the Make Up Academy's Eyeliner Pencil in Royal Blue along the lower lash line combined with Gonzo from the Urban Decay Electric Palette to set the liner in place and create a duo toned effect.

Once the eye make up was in place I defined my lashes using Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara. This gives fluttery, volumised lashes in an instant with a wand that catches the outer lashes perfectly to create a wide eyed effect.

Brows frame the face and sometimes wearing lots of colour on the eyes can make the brows less visible. So to define my brows I used Elf's Eyebrow Kit in Dark

Warmer weather sometimes causes the skin to become overly shiny. Not fun! So I mattified my complexion using Rimmel's Stay Matte Foundation and set that with Seventeen's Stay Time Pressed Powder to keep shine at bay.

Brighter weather can sometimes wash out the definition in your face so add it back by contouring your cheeks with either blush or bronzer. I chose Topshop's Bronzer in Sandcastle which suits my fair complexion well.
