When I started creating this look, I wasn’t quite sure what combination I was going to come up with. All I knew was that I wanted to try out the new Kiko 84 light green eyeshadow that I purchased recently. I ended up using purple and peach shades alongside the green. I think the combination is really fresh and spring-like, perfect for whenever you want something fun but soft on the eyes.

MAC Patina is a really interesting eyeshadow, in that it can look more gold, taupe or green, depending on what other shades you use alongside it. I combined Patina with green, brown and taupe tones to bring out the different flecks in the shade.
For this look, I used shades from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette to create a soft, plummy effect on the eyes.
Note: I used the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and the brush that comes with it to create this look. You can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades to re-create this look (if you don’t have the Naked 3 palette), along with any similar brushes in your kit.

Pink and blue is one of my favourite colour combinations and works well with many eye colours. Adding a deep navy into the outer v helps define the eye, whilst magenta in the crease adds an interesting twist to the look.
Note: I used the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette and the brush that comes with it to create this look. You can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades to re-create this look (if you don’t have the Vice 3 palette), along with any similar brushes in your kit.

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.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
Sonic is a beautiful, metallic cranberry shade and one of my favourite colours from the Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette. I combined Sonic with brown, aubergine and black shades from the palette to create a soft, smoky burgundy effect on the eyes.

For this look, I combined violet-purple on the lid with a terracotta-brown in the crease. Using brown-toned shades in the crease is one of my favourite ways of making coloured eyeshadows more wearable.
Tip: This look can be easily changed up by using a different colour of eyeshadow on the lid. Try green, blue and silver for a fun twist on this look.

Here’s how to re-create this look:
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.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
MAC’s Blue Brown pigment is such an interesting shade; it looks a little blue, green, silver and brown depending on how the light hits. I used a shimmery white base underneath to intensify the sheen of the pigment. I also combined Blue Brown with green eyeshadows to bring out the green flecks in the pigment.
Here’s how to re-create this look:
This look shows how a neutral look can be pepped up with the addition of a little colour in the outer v area. I used a bright blue but you can swap in any other colour you like for this look. Purple, green and charcoal grey would all work well.
