Spring and Summer color- Coral

Ok Makeup lovers, I can not wait for summer! It is my favorite time of year! Going to the lake, the  beach, going on vacation or just our capital to go shopping! And of course during the spring and summer I get to wear my most favorite shades ever- CORAL!!! I absolutely love coral colors! I have so many eyeshadows, lip glosses, lipsticks, and blushes (which I'm out at the moment, waiting on a order)! So today I'm going to show you some of my favorite coral looks!

Ok as always we start with a fresh face! I always wipe my face with a clean washcloth before I apply make up!

Then use ur primer, foundation, concealer (if needed), and powder! I use EyesLipsFace (ELF) mineral primer in clear, ELF studio foundation in porcelain, and ELF Studio HD powder in translucent. I have used another HD powder and foundation and have spent big bucks on them before. I have found ELF is just as good but a quarter of the price for those watching there wallet!

Next I added a light pink blush. It was ELF Baked blush. Normally I would use a coral but I'm out at the moment

Okay now for the eyes!

I started out with too faced shadow insurance eye primer! Then a sparkly beige color and I applied it from right under my brow to the crease in my eyelid! I used one of too faced summer colors! It is first color in the last row of the pallet.  (see below)

The color is very very shimmery and has a slight gold tint to it! I use this color quite often over most of my colors! it adds a gorgeous sparkle to anything without changing the color!

Next we add the coral! I picked a coral shade from BH Cosmetics! Mostly because I just received them yesterday and I hadn't had a chance to try them out yet! BH cosmetics eye colors tend to have really good pigmentation and last all day when paired with a good primer! I used the warm matte 2 (BHWM2) color if you want the exact! I apply it from the crease of my eyelid all the way to my eyelashes. make sure you  bring the color all the way down to your lashes it helps the eyeliner stand out!

Next I add a darker brown to the crease of my eyes! I blend it starting from the outside of my eye and going 3/4 of the way into the inside of my eye. I also blend it into the complete corner of my eye and about 1/4 of the way down on my lash line. I chose a brown with some shimmer to add a little shimmer closer to the bottom of my eye! Any like color would work but for exact I used BH cosmetic in cool shimmer 1 (BHCS1).

Lastly we add our liner and mascara! I was feeling festive today so I decided to do a winged look. These colors also look good without it and just a simple outline of the eye. I like to use ELF cream eyeliner in black for the top and the wing and ELF Studio Kohl liner in black for the bottom! Don't forget to smudge the bottom!

Then I coat my eyelashes with ELF 3 in 1 mascara and go on top of that with Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiply Volume mascara! And don't forget to curl those lashes!!

Now the lips! I absolutely love lipstick! It can change a simple makeup look into something completely different! Since I'm going to use a coral lipstick i outlined my lips with a coral liner! I do not have a favorite lip liner! I have many and they all seem to work the same! As long as the color matches you are good to go! After lining your lips make sure to smudge a bit!

After that you add your lipstick maybe a bit of gloss depending on the lipstick and your all done! I used BH Cosmetics Coral Escape Creme Luxe Lipstick!

I also added a bit of NYX butter gloss in Apple Strudel over the lipstick! Be careful when mixing lipsticks with glosses always want to use a brush that way the lipstick doesn't get into the tube of gloss!

                 

 There we are the finished look!!

I want to note that coral colors are great for people who have brownish green eyes like mine! They really bring out the green and make the color pop! Hope y'all enjoyed the tutorial! Follow us on twitter and subscribe! Keep a look out for our next post on Friday!

Stay Beautiful!
