Hello, everyone! I’ve gotten a couple of requests for a summer makeup tutorial, so I thought now would be the perfect time to share one of my favorite and most unique eye makeup looks with all of you before the summer ends. I’ve worn this look many times throughout the summer including to a wedding, a fancy dinner overlooking a beautiful sunset, and several other special occasions. I’ve never seen any other makeup looks on YouTube quite like this one, so I hope you appreciate and enjoy it!
First, I am going to apply an eyeshadow primer all over my lid to help everything last all night and to prevent any creasing. For this, I used the Urban Decay Primer Potion, but any primer will work just fine.
Next I am going to use the “Cashmere Bunny” eyeshadow from the Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette. This is just a neutral matte beige transition color to help everything else blend better, so it works best when applied with a big fluffy brush in the crease and outer corner. It does not have to be neat because you won’t really be able to see it the end, although it will make a big difference.

Then I am going to take a more dense brush and press the Wet n’ Wild eyelid color from the Walking on Eggshells trio all over my lid. Any light shimmery nude pink shade such as Urban Decay “Sin”or Mac “Naked Lunch” will work, too. This is going to open up your eyes and make them look bigger.

After finishing this post, I actually found a photo of a look from Linda Hallberg on Pinterest that looks almost exactly like the look I did. I’m still figuring out how to take photos of my eyes so the makeup actually shows up, so I thought showing you this would be helpful as a more acurate representation of my own look. I did not copy this look, I found it after publishing this post and all other photos are my own.
