Same Colors; Different Technique

After sharing my way of applying the Urban Bazaar eye look, I decided to go to my website and check out the recommended application of  this look. It’s a lot different! To be honest, I don’t like how it looks on me. Not that it’s wrong or bad; I just like to see more of a blending of the colors. The description online is more of a way of lining the eyes. There are a couple of looks done this way lately. It’s a new trend. I’m not sure it’s a trend I’m going to follow regularly, but who knows. I have to decide what look to try next!

And, don’t worry, I’ll show you how the recommended technique looks. Ready? Here you go! Tell me which you like better. I’d love to know!

If you’re curious, here are the instructions I followed (available on your personal website):

To create a dramatic look, line the top lashline with Steely eyeliner. Then, using the Eyeliner/Eyebrow Brush from the Mary Kay® Brush Collection, trace that line using mineral eye color in Navy Blue. To create a winged edge that’s softer than using a liquid eyeliner, use the Eyeliner/Eyebrow Brush just as you would liquid eyeliner.

Clean the Eyeliner/Eyebrow Brush and line the undereye with mineral eye color in Lemongrass, a contrasting eye color, to give a nod to the woven, striped feel of textiles found in any global marketplace.

Sweep mineral eye color in Vintage Gold across the entire eyelid.

Apply Mary Kay® Ultimate Mascara™ to the top and bottom lashes.

Warm the cheeks with Mary Kay® Mineral Cheek Color in Sunny Spice.

Line the lips in Cinnamon lip liner, then apply lipstick in Tanned and lip gloss in Gold Rush.

Voìla!
