Thursday my order arrived with the newest spring Coastal Colors collection and it is so pretty! I wore them all weekend! I learned from my roommate and new friend a great way to wear them to get a dramatic effect and I am going to share because it was pretty easy to pull off! You really need to use brushes to accomplish this and it is so worth it! Well, if you love experimenting with makeup like I do, you will agree.
I used Eyecicles® in Vanilla as a base. I used Moonstone as a highlighter in the brow line. The light green color is in the inner corner while the brown color is on the entire lid to the crease. The blue color is lining the lower lashes. The Tahitian Gold liner lines the top lid while the Bahama Blue is lining the bottom. It is enhanced with the blue shadow. Personally, I like the blue liner better than the gold. The gold doesn’t show up well, but I do like how this look turned out overall. Thoughts?

Oooh…pretty. Very dramatic! Where/how did you learn application technique? Or did you just play around with it?
My new friend that roomed with me taught me this look. I know a little bit about makeup application from my stage days, but this look I learned from a friend. Not sure where she learned it.
Looks good…. on me (with my darker hair, lighter skin) the blue is much more impressive
The green I wear on the really outer corner of my eye and under the lower outer lashes! I wear the blue liner (the gold does nothing on my skin) only on top. Sweet Cream as a base, the brown from lash to above the crease and the blue on the outer half of the lid/brow….. Got tons of compliments (including one from an NSD) on Saturday!
I agree the blue is better. The gold barely shows up on my skin as well. It worked for this particular look, however. I was surprised.
Very pretty! I can’t wait till I get my order this week so I can try them.
Wow, Shades, your eyes look awesome!
Thanks, mk4me!
Ohhh yes, those new colours are wonderful. I’ve been having great fun wearing them too! I loved how you used them. I’ll have to try that way too! Looks really wow!
I love this look. I am going to have to try it out. I am a bit darker than you so I am curious to see how the colors work for me.
Love your site!
Thanks for visiting, jreed1920! I think you will find you like it. I’ve sold this color set to ladies of all skin tones and they all love it!
