Spring Inspired Eye Tutorial

In the spirit of Springtime, I thought it would only be appropriate to create a spring look. I wanted a look that was vibrant in color but also very natural looking and wearable. If you want to see how I accomplished the look below, read on.




Start with a white primer on your eye and on your lower lash line, I used NYX jumbo pencil in milk. A primer is needed as it will ensure your eye shadow last  will and it will intensify the eye color.




Apply a yellow eyeshadow on your inner lid, on the middle of the lid apply a neon green eyeshadow and on the outer corner of the lid apply a purple eyeshadow. I know it looks crazy now but its' going to come together.




With a blending brush you want to blend all 3 of the colors together. Blend very lightly and use short swift strokes.

 Blend the purple from the outer lid into your crease. If you need to pick up some more purple do so but apply it very lightly.



Using a hot pink/red eyeshadow you will apply that color to your upper crease and blend it into the purple. Remember to blend, blend, blend. We don't want any harsh lines, we want a soft gradation of colors.

Use an eyeshadow that is close to your skin tone and apply that to your brow bone.


Using an eye liner brush, apply the purple eyeshadow on the outer half of your bottom lash line and the green eyeshadow on the inner half of your bottom lash line.



Apply for favorite eyeliner and mascara and Waa laa!! you have a beautiful Springtime look that will be perfect for any picnic or outing with the girls.
