Summery Eyes...Paradisco Flare

[TDoll]

Creative name right??

I did this look yesterday and got so many compliments! It was my first venture into orange eye shadow. It made my eyes look really blue (as oranges and reds do). I have a feeling I'll be wearing this a lot this summer....

​

(Everything without a brand is MAC)
EYES:
Bare Study PP as base on lid and brow bone
HiP Flare e/s duo: I used the goldish yellow shade on inner half of lid, orange shade in crease and outer V
***Good tip*** I used the 239 brush for the above colors. I kept the colors separated on the brush by keeping the gold on one side and the orange on the other (its a flat brush) When blending, go back and forth with each side! Easy huh? Makes blending look perfect.
Paradisco e/s in outer crease and a little above (used only a little bit)
Nylon e/s on inner corners
Vanilla e/s as highlight on brow bone

Powerpoint e/l in engraved
Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in Very Black
Skipped liner and mascara on lower lashes/lids

hmm...my eyelashes on the left look funky...

Thanks for looking!

Yeah, I was very hesitant to get it too... Especially since I had never worn oranges/pinks before. Now I'm hooked!

Gorgeous! Paradisco is so frustrating to me, its SOO pretty in the pot but it takes SO much to get it to show up. I don't even wear mine that much but will probably go through it fast just cuz it takes so much for it to show up. I'm ranting...this is beautiful tho!!!!

Thats so strange! I've never had a problem with it showing up! Have you tried using paint pots or UDPP as a base?? I apply it when the primer is still not quite dry and it really works!

I love this! I gotta try it! Did you use any concealer under eyes? If so what did you use? Thanks!

I used just a little bit of the Select Cover Up in NW15...I know...VERY light, especially since I wear NC25 in foundation. But I only use a tid-bit traced only on the dark area. I put just a little bit on my concealer brush and tilt my head downward and look up into the mirror...that way, you can really see just the shadowy area. I dont put it all over. I always dust a little bit of Studio Fix back over it lightly when I'm done so it blends.
