Springy Makeup Demonstration

As we ladies know... with great spring weather comes great responsibility.
We must gather up all of our spring clothes and spring eyeshadow shades and get to work perfecting that warm weather look! Here is a link to me demonstrating a nice, natural, springy look that you can try.



This demonstration was done on "In the Middle", MT10's morning show.

I do my eyeshadow like this every morning, but I just do the brown on the outside a little darker so that it's more dramatic.

1.) The first step to a natural, springy eye is the base coat. You should pick a neutral color, like tan or light brown, depending on how dark you want the finished product to be. If you want to steer away from the "natural" look, you can use a brighter color for your base, like green or purple (these colors go great with brown, which we'll be putting on the outer edge).

2.) The second step (and possibly the most important) is the shimmer. You're going to pick a white or light beige shimmer eyeshadow to apply on the inside corner and right underneath your eyebrow, all the way across. This really brings out the base color and makes your eye color stand out.

3.) The third step is eyeliner. In order to avoid overdoing the eyeliner, just start from the halfway mark of your eyelid and work your way outwards in one solid stroke. The thicker the eyeliner, the more dramatic look you will end up with. If you go with a thinner line, the result will be more natural.

4.) Put some mascara on those lashes to really top it all off. Make sure you start with the bottom lashes in order to avoid getting mascara on your eyelid when you look up to apply.

VIOLA! You have the perfect springtime eye!
