Tropical Island Make-Up Tutorial


Its Mid-Summer. You hear those catchy phrases "A Mid-Summer's Night," and you think of how amazing it sounds. For me, I imagine crickets chirping, a soft breeze, the smell of campfires, and laughter and dark blue skies.
Which is how this idea formed. Mid-Summer is where its the hottest time of the year - nearly everywhere is like a tropical island! Exotic creatures, such as what I call "The Clickey Bug" come out, click-clacking there wings. So this look was based off of a hot, tropical day in Mid-Summer!

Materials:
Black Liquid Eyeliner
White Liquid Eyeliner
White Pencil Eyeliner
Black Pencil Eyeliner
Black Lengthening Mascara
Black Volume Mascara
Soft Blue Eyeshadow
Soft, Light green eyeshadow
Pink Blush
Subtle Lipstick

Step One: Apply White Liquid Eyeliner in the inner corners of your eyes.



Step Two: Make a large circle of LIGHT and SOFT blue eyeshadow, exagerate! Apply two layers. Than, apply two green circles, about half-way through the blue circles. Apply two coats.

Step Three: Apply liquid eyeliner on the top ONLY. No wings! Do not create wings with the liquid liner!!! Than apply volume mascara all over lashes, than apply Length mascara to TOP LASHES ONLY.

Step Four: (See in photo above) Apply Black Pencil Eyeliner at the outer corners to create wings. They make look funny up close, but in your suite they will look fabulous!

Step Five: Apply light pink blush to the sides of your face, If your skin tone is white apply one coat, if its tanned apply two coats and if its black apply 3-4 coats. Add some subtle lipstick (I used a soft coral one) and your all finished! Do not add gloss, or it takes the attention to your lips not your eyes, and you don't want that!

I hope you like this look! Let me know @ maisie12345 if you tried to re-create this look! And feel free to suggest future looks!
