Green is one of my favourite colours and so I wanted to create a look based around this shade. I combined together the NYX Slide-on Eye Pencil in Tropical Green with gold and lime green eyeshadows. I completed the look with golden peach blusher on the cheeks and a satiny peachy-coral on the lips.

MAC Melon pigment is a very versatile shade, as it can be paired with other neutrals or used alongside brighter colours. I used a teal eyeliner along the upper and lower lashlines to give a pop of colour to this neutral, golden-peach look.
Tip: You can easily change up this look by using a different colour of eyeliner. Purple, blue and green would all work well and give a different twist to the look.

For this look, I wanted to try a different colour combination using MAC’s Old Gold pigment. I combined Old Gold with purple liner and orangey-red eyeshadow to create a fiery effect on the eyes. Here’s how to re-create this look:

For this look, I combined peach, orange and brown to create a warm, burnished effect on the eyes. I added in honey-gold liner along the lashlines to add some brightness to the eyes.

For this look, I paired a bright yellow-gold with a bluish-purple eyeshadow to create a pretty, vivid effect. Using an eyeliner which is lighter than the eyeshadows on the lid is a fun way to create some interesting contrast on the eyes.

The look is a variation on the ‘Quick Smokey Eye’ look, swapping the brown tones for purples. There are two extra steps in this look – deepening the crease (to add some extra depth to the eye) and an inner corner highlight (to brighen the eyes). However, you can easily skip these extra steps if you want to keep things the same as in the ‘Quick Smokey Eye’ look.
Tip: Using a clear, skin-toned or black eyeshadow base means you can use it with any eyeshadow colour and don’t have to invest in extra products. Keeps things nice and simple!

For this look, I applied a slick of pink glitter liner to add some sparkle to a neutral eyeshadow combination. Using glitter eyeliner along the upper lashline is an effective way of adding some intrigue to an existing look, without changing it too much. Here’s how to create the look:
This look shows how combining a coloured eyeliner with neutral eyeshadows can add a fun ‘pop’ of definition to the eyes. You could use any shade of eyeliner with this look (blue, plum and bronze would look lovely too) to create a different effect on the eyes.
Tip: For this look, I patted a bottlegreen eyeshadow over a teal-green eyeliner, changing the liner to a forest green shade. You can easily transform an eyeliner shade by patting any eyeshadow from your existing make-up kit over the lines you have drawn. This is a great way of creating new looks without having to purchase new products.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
The golden bronze, coral-red and brown tones in this look make me think of the shades in a flickering fire. Applying a deep bronze eyeliner along the upper and lower lashlines adds extra definition and smokiness to the eyes.
Tip: Bronze or brown eyeliner creates softer definition than a black eyeliner, making it a good option if you find black to be too harsh.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
For this look, I combined pink and taupe-charcoal eyeshadows with a blackish-purple liner to create a sophisticated berry eye. Applying eyeshadows after liner softens any harsh lines and helps everything to blend together nicely. I used the Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette and the Urban Decay eyeliner in Delinquent but you can use any other brands with similar shades.
