Hello, everybody! It’s Samantha from My Beauty Cloud bringing you a makeup tutorial! New Year’s is just around the corner, which means that everyone is going to start getting their look together for allll them parties. I went for a more colorful look this New Year’s, using purple and green (I know, I know, an interesting choice of colors, you may be thinking). But you can use any color for this look!
1 | PRIME THOSE EYES
Instead of using glitter, I used a bright, sparkly white eyeshadow to prime my lids, extending from the innermost corner to about the middle of my eyelid. Then, using a flat brush, patted a matte black (although a sparkly black does well too) from the middle to the end, covering only the lid.
2 | TRANSITION
Once that’s done, I blended a pinkish color above it (you can go as high as you want). Using a blending brush, I used a purple right in between the black and the pink. So from the lid up it’s black, purple, then pink. I also used the purple eyeshadow color and purple eyeliner from Stila to line underneath my eye.
3 | MORE COLOR
Here’s where the green comes in (which is totally optional). With a green, sparkly eyeliner, I thickly lined the inner corner of my eye to the purple eyeshadow, making sure to match the purple shadow’s thickness. This adds a pop of color and brightness. If you're planning on going all out and adding some color to your hair, you can substitute the green to match your hair!
4 | EYELINER
With a normal, black liquid liner (I used the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Super Slim you’ve heard me talk about endlessly lately) I created a long, winged eye look. Because of the heavy black eyeshadow, you don’t need a thick line. I mainly used this to create a little extra drama and definition at the end of my eye.
5 | LASH TIME
Now you can opt for falsies (I like the Ardell Demi Wispies in 120), but since I’m kind of lazy, I simply curled my lashes and slapped some mascara primer from Sephora and my normal Maybelline mascara on.
6 | LINE THOSE LIPS
Since this look is all about color, I used Nyx’s Butter Lipstick in Little Susie, which is a bright pink. It seems really bright and pigmented at first, but as it sets, I think it's just the right amount of color.
7 | FINISHING TOUCHES
Using my Hoola Benefit Bronzer, I lightly contoured my face. Obviously you can make it more dramatic, but I wanted the focus more on the eyes rather than the entire face. Instead of using blush for this look, I used a light, pinkish pearl eyeshadow to sweep over my cheekbones. It adds a little bit of shine without being too overpowering. In the light, it creates a more dewy look.
If it’s much easier for you to follow along with a video, no worries! I’ve got you covered with a brand spankin’ new video on my YouTube channel on how to achieve this look. Thanks for reading, everyone! If you want to try this look (or a variation of it) I’d love to see! Tag me on Instagram or Twitter and I’ll check it out! :)
