As I was putting together this roundup of looks, I started to realize just how much I’ve been using my Makeup Geek shadows lately. I mean, I use them a lot on a regular basis, but three out of the five looks are solely Makeup Geek in here!
I did this for a YouTube video tutorial but had to repost it here because I know not everyone has the time for videos (I’ll continue to repost my video tutorial looks on the blog as time goes on).
Eyes
(using the Viseart 08 Editorial Brights palette) I first covered my lid with NYX‘s Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk and then:
- MAC‘s Cork in the crease.
- The yellow shade from the palette on the inner third of the lid.
- The orange on the middle of the lid.
- The red on the outer half of the lid.
- The lime green on the inner corner of the lid.
- (also listed as 5) MAC‘s Blanc Type to highlighter the brow bone.
I applied the light blue to the middle of my lower lash line and the purple to the outer section of the lower lash line. I created the wing with Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and tightlined my water lines with Marc Jacobs‘ Highliner Gel Crayon in Blacquer. I coated my lashes with Make Up For Ever Smoky Stretch mascara and applied House of Lashes Bombshell falsies.

Although I love the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette, I’ve not been using it because I was trying to work through a bunch of other palettes. I said enough was enough, and went back to it for it this look!
Eyes

so pretty! I especially love the first three. I definitely need to make more use of my KVD palette too.

I mean I love that palette so, so much, but as a blogger (and you totally know this), you get bogged down by what you need to wear/review next. Plus, the bulky packaging of the KVD kind of annoys me. BUT it’s still the most gorgeous thing EVER!
The second last look is so interesting, I love it! I need you to do my makeup super colorful sometime!
I can tryyyyy, but I have almost no experience doing makeup on other people!
The duochrome look made me think you were Rapunzel from Tangled. YOU’RE A DISNEY CHARACTER!!
Awesome looks!
Haha SWEEEEET!
These are all gorgeous! My favourite was definitely the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Palette! I love the blues and greens together and it’s a nice contrast to the horrible weather outside!

Good point! It’s a fairly tropical look considering the wintery weather out there!
Ah, love the Mi Vida Loca Remix look- I’ll have to try a blue green look with it next ! And you’re definitely my biggest Makeup Geek enabler 🙂

Haha wooooo! I was like “oh hey, there’s not a neutral look in the whole bunch!”
This combo:
Makeup Geek
Prism all over the lid.
Typhoon through the crease.
Dirty Martini on the outer third of the lid.
Vanilla Bean on the brow bone.
really was inspiring for me. i hadn’t though to pair those sorts of shades together. usually with that type of green i use a dark brown and would avoid a brighter center lid b/c fear of the contrast. but this works!
jenn recently posted…I Woke Up Like This (ft. A Lash Extension Experience with Double Take Studio* Vancouver)
On me, pairing greens and dark browns looks really, really weird. Like mud. So I’m forced to find to find other ways to wear those shades! Contrasting works well for me because I like the impact – I struggle if the colours are way too similar all over the eye!
