For today’s look, I took inspiration from a bright, beautiful cobalt blue bag (see below) and an aqua coloured dress I was wearing (see full face photos at the end of the post after the ‘Read More’ link). I combined aqua, cobalt blue and a ‘pop’ of magenta plum to create a punchy, colourful effect 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!

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.

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.

For today’s look, I took inspiration from a pair of earrings I have which are bright yellow, green and blue (see above). I combined pale lemon yellow, pale green and bright blue eyeshadows to create a colourful, tropical eye.

This look makes me think of strawberry and vanilla ice cream as the colours on the eye create a strawberry and cream halo. I used a darker shade in the inner and outer lids and a light shade in the middle of the lid to create a highlighted effect on the eyes. Here’s how to re-create this look:
I’ve been on holiday for the past couple of weeks and so I haven’t posted for a wee while. To kick things off again now I am back home, here is a bright, colourful look. For this look, I combined purples with a ‘pop’ of lime green in the inner corners to add a flash of contrasting colour.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
For this look, I combined shimmery aqua teal with coral-red and orangey-brown to create a sunset-style eye. Applying a hot coral-red eyeshadow into the outer v creates a bold flash of colour when the eyes blink. Here’s how to re-create this look:
Using eyeshadows from the same colour family keeps things simple, as you can shape the eye without having to work out how to combine different colours. This look can be varied by replacing the blue with light, medium and dark eyeshadows from other colour families, such as green (as viewed in the ‘Shades of Green’ look), purple or brown.

For this look, I used orange eyeshadow alongside greens to add a fun ‘pop’ of contrasting colour. Adding a different colour to the inner lid is an easy way to add a little something extra to an eyeshadow look. Here’s how to re-create this look:
