Poppy, Cobalt, Teal, Magenta, and Violet are the vibrant colors on trend for jeans, shoes, handbags, and even your makeup. This season we all need a pop of vivid color somewhere. Colorful makeup is not just for effect, but an important and vibrant accessory for Spring 2012. The runways of Prada, Derek Lam, Dior, and Marc Jacob used bold beautiful color palettes to created gorgeous fresh new looks!
To translate this makeup from runway to everyday you need to focus the pop of color on just one feature. For instances, play up the eyes and use softer neutral tones on the lips and cheeks. Play up the lips, and use very sparse makeup on the eyes. Another great way to get a colorful look without going overboard is to use pastel colors. You will still get the pretty effect of color without the bold commitment.
The Violet Look
Begin by applying Eclipse Eye Colour all over the lid and into the crease. Use the Artistry Eye Shadow Brush to press in the color on the lid. Make a smoky look by using the Eyeliner Brush under the eye along the lash line with Eclipse creating definition and drama. Make sure to connect the shadow in the outer corner of the eye with the lid for unification.
Use Charm Eye Colour in and slightly above the crease. Use a back and forth motion with the Eye Shadow Brush along the crease and above, this will blend Eclipse and Charm creating a smooth polished look.
Take the Eye Contour Brush and place Starry Night under the brow for a brightening and lifting appearance.
Finish the violet look on your eyes with Black Automatic Eyeliner along the top and bottom lash line, and coat your lashes with lots of Total Mascara in black!
Apply a touch of Pink Passion Cheek Colour on the apples of your cheeks. Then sweep 3D Face Powder in Shimmer Pink over the cheek bones, forehead, and chin for a glowing radiant look to your skin.
For your pretty pout, use Artistry Sheer Coverage Gloss in Precious Pink for a touch of cool shimmer and shine.
Emerald Eyes
First, take Eden Eye Colour and apply it all over the lid.
Then, apply Rainforest Eye Colour to the outer half of the lid as well as into the crease. Use the back and forth motion going up and over the crease with the Eye Shadow Brush, repeat this a few times for a more intense look. Take the Eye Liner Brush to sweep Rainforest under the bottom lashes to create even more definition.
Use Silk Eye Colour under the brow to illuminate the look. Utilizing a lighter color under the brow creates a lifting effect to the eyes; it also makes the eyes appear more complete and defined.
Complete the eye by applying Black Shimmer Automatic Eye Liner around the entire eye. Place several coats of Total Mascara on the top and bottom lashes for a fullness and drama.
Place on Rosewood Cheek Colour across the cheeks for slight definition. Use 3D Face Powder in Shimmer Coral all over your face for a radiant glow.
For your lips use Artistry Sheer Coverage Gloss in Dazzling Coral for sparkle, definition and shine.
Vogue Lips
The focus is on the lips so be bold and bright with Artistry Lip Colour in Beaute. Place directly on the lips and press lips together. Take Spiced Wine Automatic Lip Liner and trace the outer edge of your lips for definition. To create more fullness in your lips draw slightly on the outer edge of your lip line.
Pop a touch of Artistry Full Coverage Lip Gloss in Ruby Red on the bottom center of your lips for a luminous sheen.
Sweep Bone or Silk Eye Colour with the Eye Contour Brush from lash to brow over your eyes. Put Black Automatic Eye Liner across the top of your lash line and finish lashes with a few coats of Total Mascara.
Place a slight glow to the cheeks with a light dusting of Cache Cheek Colour on the along your cheek bones, and complete your vogue look with Shimmer Pink 3D Powder over cheeks, forehead and chin.
Fresh faced and looking pretty with color! These looks create the vibrant touches of color that are fun, youthful and have you looking like you’ve just stepped off the runway!
