Simple Everyday Look- Pink

When i think of the color pink, I think of roses, candy floss and strawberry ice cream lol. I love lighter shades of pink as it is such a soft, subtle and relaxing color. Its a very wearable color that will suit any eye or skin color.

I had a request last week from a very dear friend of mine, Lorraine who wanted a breakdown list of everyday makeup for women over 35/40 and all I could think of was a look using a coral pink eyeshade. So here is what I came up with and I hope it's a look that you would want to try out.

Products Used

1. NYX jumbo pencil in Milk
2. Mac loose pigment in Rose
3. Mac loose pigment in Old Gold
4. Mac Parfait Amour
5. Mac Crystal Avalanche
6. Mac Black Track Gel Liner
7.Mac Pro Longlash Mascara
8. Mac pencil liner for waterline in Smoulder

Step by Step Instructions...

1. Apply NYX jumbo pencil in Milk over the entire lid area and then blend out.
2. Taking a light/coral pink color, apply it onto the middle 1/3rd of your eyelid.

3. Take the Old Gold pigment and apply to the inner and outer 1/3rds of the eyelid. Blend out the areas where the 2 colors meet so that there are no harsh lines.

4. Using a pencil blending brush, pick up some of the purple Parfait Amour and use it to smoke out the outer 1/3rd of the eyelids. Blend, blend, blend so that there is a good transition between the colors. You can intensify the smokey look depending on how dark you would want it. Keep picking up more color and blending it to darken the smokey effect.

Add Mac Parfait Amour to outer 1/3rd

5. All that's really left to do now, is to highlight the brow bone(I used Mac's Crystal Avalanche)
6. Line your upper lash line, apply your mascara and line the waterline with black kohl pencil.

I applied the concealer and foundation after doing the eyes as there was a lot of fall out with the loose pigment. I then used an angled brush with a mix of black and dark brown eyeshadows to fill in the eyebrows. Blusher and lipstick can be of your choice.
