a look: pool side inspired.

Okay so while you might think for the title, "Girrrlll I know you're not wearin all that to the pool. Well my friend, you are right. I was just inspired by the summery colors and breezy atmosphere that the pool implies. This look features a pale sea blue wash on the lid, a nude cheek and a peach lip. I love how bright and airy this looks, perfect for spring and summer. Plus, it is soooo easy. Enjoy!

the eyes:

-Start as always by priming the lid with an eye primer or base of choice. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Primer)

-Begin with blending a pale blue cream shadow all over the lid and through the crease. The one I used was actually duo chromed so in person it has a beautiful gold sheen in the light. (Maybelline Color Tattoo #Seashore Frosts)

-Pop a shimmery liner or shadow into the inner corner of the eye for a highlight. (L'oreal Silkissime Liner #Highlighter)

-Line the waterline with a nude waterproof kohl pencil to keep the eyes looking bright and open. (NARS Larger Than Life Eyeliner #Rue Bonaparte)

-Pack a matte shadow a few shades lighter than your skin tone under the brown for a subtle highlight. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Sand Out From the Crowd)

-With a pencil brush, blend a peachy matte shade under the lower lashes for a slight shadow. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Peach for the Stars)

-Instead of harsh dark liner, take a flat definer brush and pack on a dark matte chocolate shade along the upper lash line. (Tarte Mattenificient Palette #Dream in Chocolate 

-Throw on a couple coats of mascara to the lashes to prep for falsies. (L'oreal Shocking Extensions Carbon Black Telescopic Mascara)

-Apply a natural lite false lash. (Kiss Lashes #03)

the lips:

Go Peachy!

-Throw on a satin finish lipstick or crayon in a beautiful peach shade to the lips for a summery pout. (Flower Beauty Lip Suede Velvet Lip Chubby #Life's A Peach)
