Aqua Summer look!

Yay! Summer is currently in the works, and so to celebrate, I figured I would give you guys something fun, playful, and of course, summery to wear! I absolutely ADORE this look! Now I actually filmed a video, and I stayed in the shot the whole time, but, alas, my camera is stinky and the quality turned out horrible. Therefore, you get another text tutorial. But, as long as you look at the finished picture you should be able to figure it out... I hope...

Oh well, moving on!

1. Apply your eyeshadow base, if you have one. If not, that's fine, the eyeshadow is pretty bright anyway. Now that that's done, let's move on.

2. Take a standard eyeshadow brush and dip it in a little cup of water that you have sitting next to you. If you don't have one, go get one. And no, you can't dip it in Dr. Pepper. ;] Dry off the excess water. We don't the brush to be sopping wet. Then dip your brush in this color (see below), and apply all over your lid, stopping at the crease. It's almost as if you're painting your lid. Do this until you've achieved the color you want.

3. Now with a dry brush, take this brown (see below) and apply that just above and in your crease (make sure the aqua is dry first). Get a little bit more on your brush and apply it a tiny bit on the top of the aqua color, to give it a kind of gradient effect.

4. Using the same dry brush, apply this dark blue (see below) in the outer corner and crease, just to darken it up a bit. We don't want it to be dark blue, we want it to be a darker aqua.

5. Next dip an angled eyeliner brush into your water, dry any excess, and dip it in this blue (see below). Apply that to the outer half of your lower lash line.

6. Clean of that brush, dip it in water again, dry the excess, and this time dip it in this light aqua (see below), and apply it to the inner half of your lower lash line. Then blend the two color together in the middle so they fade into each other. Then using the same technique that we've been using (the water one), apply the blue that we used on the outer half of the lower lash line to the upper lash line. You can also add a wing if you want (I did).

8. Using your dry eyeshadow brush, pack this very light aqua (see below) onto the middle of the lid, just to brighten it up.

9. Apply a white highlight to your brow bone and inner corner, slap on some mascara, and you're good to go!

Again, I know the pictures aren't too good, but you can kind of tell what it's supposed to look like. :P

Stay beautiful (in Him),
