Spring/Summer Look #1 Quick everyday look with colored liners
Hi everyone!
I am compiling a Spring/Summer Look Book featuring a series of looks and tutorials for this season. These will be my interpretations of the Spring/Summer 2011 makeup trends and will be covering looks suited for different occasions – from light daytime looks to evening party looks.
Inspired by the colorful trends this season, I have already done looks with
These will be added to my Spring/Summer 2011 Look Book along with other looks that I will be doing in the coming days.
Hope you enjoy reading 🙂
The #1 look is a super quick everyday look which is pretty much everyone’s on-the-go makeup but with the added pop of a brightly colored liner. This season is all about bright colors- orange, fuchsia, turquoise, lime green and the list goes on. While black and brown are great colors for everyday lining of the eyes, they look very ‘regular‘. Adding a brightly colored liner instantly glams up your whole look without much of an effort.
Colors to look out for are brighter shades of blue ,green & purple.
On a well moisturized face, apply tinted moisturizer or light foundation, line upper lash line with black/brown pencil liner and apply a bright colored liner(turquoise, ice blue, parrot green, teal, purple, silver/gold) on the lower lash line ( or alternatively, bright liner on upper lash and kajal on lower lash line) and finish off the look with a little bronzer/blush and tinted lip balm/gloss.
Products used to create this look :
FACE: MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation NC 40 , Chambor Silver shadow compact ‘RR2 Rose Pale’ , Revlon Colorstay ‘Mineral finishing Powder #30 Sunkiss Radieux’ (bronzer)
LIPS : Nivea fruity shine lip balm ‘Pomegranate’

- Maybelline Vivid and smooth ‘Olive green’ (lower lash line)

Thank you Rashmi 🙂
ohh wow u online ??? … okay then tell me how do u find this revlon bronzer …
i mean loving it …
would u care to review it dear … pls if u can
I bought from the Revlon counter at NBC Khar Rashmi. Its really great! I use it mostly alone and it gives a nice glow to my face. It retails at around 900-1000 Rs. Its from the Colorstay range of Revlon.
I’ll review it sometime soon Rashmi. Glad you liked it 🙂
yeahh i have the pink one and its so oily yaar … let me see how is this ..
it retails for 1400/- INR in lifestyle 😦 😦 …
let me see ur complete post and see i will pick this from mumbai 🙂
Oily? A powder based formulation! They must have gone really bad with the formulation. This one is mineral based I think- so its not powdery also. It has a baked finish and it blends like a dream. I use only this in a lot of my posts. Do try it- I think you’ll like it
ohh okay then i think i will give it a shot 😀 😀

Thanks Anita 🙂 Love blues and greens in summers. Will check out the liners you’ve mentioned 😀
