Get The Look: Urban Bazaar

I’ve decided to try the different eye looks featured in each issue of The Look. Today I’m featuring Urban Bazaar. I’ve been wearing these colors for a few days now and I really love how they look. I used to think Navy Blue was too dark for me, but when blended properly it’s not that dark at all.

So, here’s how to get this look on your eyes. At least, this is how I did it. I went by doing what I saw in the picture rather than going online to see the application tips. First of all, here are the colors you’ll need:

• Vanilla Eyecicles® (optional)
• Moonstone
• Lemongrass
• Vintage Gold
• Navy Blue
• Steely liner
• mascara

If you’re like me, eye primer is a little too drying. Eye primer make my crease flaky and dry. Instead of using that product, I use Eyecicles® instead. It makes a great base and keeps the other colors on all day. So, I start by applying Eyecicles® Vanilla on my entire lid. Then, using the eye defining bush, I apply Moonstone in the browline. Next, Lemongrass is applied from the inner corner to the middle of the lid and also beneath the lower lashes. Still using the eye definer, I apply Vintage Gold from the outer corner to the middle of the lid and blend it with the Lemongrass. The Vintage gold also goes just above the crease and blends with the Moonstone as well. Now I switch brushes and use the eye crease brush to apply the Navy Blue along the outer lash line and lightly tap it into the out corner and into the crease about midway, blending it with the Vintage Gold and Moonstone. I also lightly line the lower out lashline stopping just short of the center of the eye. Next, apply Steely liner to top and bottom lash lines. I never outline the entire eye. It just looks to harsh on me. I line to the middle. It give the eyes a more open appearnance. Lining the entire eye can close the eyes and make them appear smaller.

The look finishes with Tanned lipstick and Gold Rush gloss. Lately, I’ve been using Hawaiian Sunset gloss instead. It looks just as good as Gold Rush. I don’t use blush. Instead, I use bronzing powder. Right now I used the discontinued bronzing powder because I still have it. Once it is gone (which will be awhile) I will figure out which of the new ones is best for me. Anyway, I just really want to start showing application instructions to allow a guide for anyone wondering how to achieve some of the looks and because I’m really thinking I want to get some type of cosmetic license. It’s also nice to see the colors on real life people instead of models. I also think it’s important to wear what is in the catalogs because customers may ask about them and want to know how to do it. It’s good to have experimented with it to answer those questions and provide the service they require.
