When I first created this blog, I was really, really worried that I wouldn’t be able to generate enough makeup looks to sustain any kind of regular “makeup looks” posting schedule. Little did I realize just how many eye looks I attempt and even months later I’ve still got a huge backlog of eye looks for upcoming posts!
Glitter and lashes. You really can’t go wrong. I think this came out really beautifully.
Eyes
I first applied Makeup Geek‘s White Lies all over the lid as a base, then:
- Inglot Matte 334 in the outer corner and throughout the crease.
- Inglot Matte 325 in the outer corner to darken it up. Also used on the lower lash line in the outer corner.
- MAC‘s Transparent Teal glitter all over the lid. To make the glitter stick, I used Too Faced Glitter Glue as a base layer. I also applied the glitter on the lower lash line as well.
MAC Shroom to highlight the brow. Tarte‘s black gel liner to create the wing and Urban Decay‘s Black Velvet liner on the inner lower lash line rim. Benefit They’re Real mascara on my lashes and Ardell single lashes to add some volume to my lashes.

This one came to me out of nowhere. I often use Sleek‘s Sunrise palette as my mirror of choice, so I often find myself staring at those colours. The blue in that palette is beautiful, but I never really knew how to incorporate it into a look with that palette. This came to me as a spur of the moment type thing and I think it turned out really well. It’s funny because people say not to wear blue eyeshadow if you have blue eyes because it’ll drown out the colour of your eyes… but I have to say I received so many compliments at work that this brought out my eye colour that I really have to disagree with the “norm” to not wear blue on blue eyes!
Eyes
Using the Sleek Sunset palette:
- From the bottom row, the second shade on the right, apply that all over the lid.
- Again from the bottom row, sweep the first colour from the left into the crease and blend out.
- MAC Blanc Type to highlight the brow.
On the lower lash line, use the bright blue from the Sleek Sunset palette, then smudge it out slightly with Makeup Geek‘s Creme Brulee. Benefit They’re Real mascara on my lashes.

This look’s genius comes from Sharon Farrell. Her Tequila Sunrise tutorial was not only unique, but utterly eye-catching. I definitely do not possess her skill, but I thought I’d give this look a shot because I loved her end result so much.
Eyes
- Makeup Geek Creme Brulee very heavily through the crease.
- MAC Steamy on the inner two thirds of the lid.
- MAC Club on the outer third of the lid. Also applied all over the lower lash line.
- MAC Gorgeous Gold on the inner tearduct.
MAC Blanc Type to highlight the brow. Tarte‘s black gel liner to create the wing and Urban Decay‘s Black Velvet liner on the inner lower rim. Benefit They’re Real mascara on my lashes.

I was rooting through my collection determined to use something I had touched in long time. So this look ended up utilizing a few of my older, limited edition products.
Eyes
Using the MAC mineralize eyeshadow trio in Blue My Mind:
- The lightest shade on the inner third of the lid.
- The blue shimmery shade on the middle of the lid.
- The black on the outer corner.
MAC Shroom to highlight my brow, MAC fluidline in Midnight Blues to create the wing and Benefit They’re Real mascara.

- Lips: Wet n Wild 903C with NYX‘s Butter Gloss in Tiramisu on top
Ehhhhhhhhhhh. This one’s okayyyyyy…..
Eyes
- Makeup Geek Simply Marlena and Mango Tango mixed together and blended into the crease. I’d say it’s a lot heavier on the pinker shade.
- Makeup Geek Vanilla Bean all over the lid.
- Makeup Geek Frappe and Goddess mixed together and applied to the outer third.
