Hey guys! Did you all have a good weekend? I did for sure! My husband and I went out of town all weekend and spent some time with family. It was wonderful!
Today's post is all about the most beautiful eye shadow of all time - Urban Decay "Solstice." No explanation needed. It's just gorgeous. So, if you want to know how I created this look, then please keep on reading!
 |
| Starting off with a blank, red canvas, haha. |
 |
| I'm going to start off with the eyes today by using the Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer all over the lids. |
 |
| Then I applied a bit of MAC's Painterly Paint Pot - just to even out my skin tone. |
 |
| Since that paint pot is a cream product, I wanted to put down a light, powder base so the shadows we're about to use would blend more easily. So, for that, I used Makeup Geek's "Vanilla Bean" eye shadow. |
 |
| Like so. |
 |
| And now we have a nice, even canvas to work with! |
 |
| So, first - for the transition color -I chose "Peach Smoothie" by Makeup Geek. |
 |
| I just put it right in the crease, like so. |
 |
| Next, I went in with "Cupcake" by Makeup Geek. This is a beautiful pinky-mauve color. |
 |
| And I just applied that right on top of that "Peach Smoothie." |
 |
| This is what I have so far. |
 |
| To add some depth to the look, I used Makeup Geek "Bitten." |
 |
| I applied that to the outer-V of the eyes. |
 |
| And this is what it looks like at this point. |
 |
| Now for the star of the show - Urban Decay Moondust shadow in the color "Soltice." Isn't it beautiful?! |
 |
| To get the ultimate color payoff, I wanted to use this shadow wet. So, I took some MAC Fix + and sprayed that on a shader brush before dipping it into that shadow. |
 |
| I applied that shadow to the mobile part of the lid. |
 |
| Look at that color!!! |
 |
| I went back and applied more of that "Bitten" color to the outer corners. |
 |
| Then I took a big fluffy brush and blended everything out so there were no harsh lines. |
 |
| And for mascara, I used Too Faced Better Than Sex. |
 |
| I applied that mascara to the top lashes only, for now. |
 |
| Then I applied some lashes - KISS "Shy." |
 |
| Here's a better look at them. |
 |
| And lashes are on! |
 |
| Finally... moving on to the face. For primer I used Benefit POREfessional. |
 |
| And for foundation, Estee Lauder Double Wear in the color "2C1." |
 |
| Foundation is done! |
 |
| For concealer, I used NARS Radiant Creamy concealer in the shade "Honey." |
 |
| Concealer = Applied. |
 |
| To warm up the face, I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour kit - the bottom right shade. |
 |
| Yay for bronzer! |
 |
| For blush, I used Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in the color "Fearless." |
 |
| For brows I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in "Medium Brown." |
 |
| Brows are done! |
 |
| For the lower lash line, I went back into Makeup Geek "Cupcake," and applied that to the outer two-thirds of the bottom lid. |
 |
| I also applied some of that "Solstice" to the inner third of the lower lash line as well. |
 |
| I know this is a bit ridiculous, but I used a different mascara on my lower lashed - MAC Extended Play Lash. The wand is super skinny and just perfect for your lower lashes. |
 |
| Now the eyes are done! |
 |
| For my highlight, I used Becca's collab shade with Jaclyn Hill - "Champagne Pop." Can you tell I'm excited to use it? Hahaha |
 |
| LOOK at that highlight!!!! You could see me from space!! |
 |
| For the lips I used MAC "Please Me." |
 |
| And here's the final look! Please excuse my hair... I couldn't be bothered. |
 |
| Yes... my lash is not sticking, hahaha |
So there you have it!! I tried to include as many different perspectives of that eye look as I could. I am just obsessed with that eye shadow! I've worn it by itself quite a few times to work. It's so beautiful!
Anyway, I hope you like the look as much as I do, haha. If you'd like to know where I got the products used, they will be linked below.
As always, thank you SO much for reading! I'll see you on the next one!!
