So, today I decided I would do a tutorial on a "rainbow eye".
This is the look we will be doing:

This is all after foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, and blush have been applied....

The Tools

Pressed (or loose) powder for under eye coverage
White eyeliner
Vaseline
L'oreal HIP Flamboyant Duo
Milani in Garden Mist (Greem in palette)
Milani in Atlantis (blue in palette)
Milani in Sheer Sand (light nude in palette)
Milani in Powder Puff
Maybeline Ultra liquid Eyeliner
Covergirl Perfectblend Eyeliner
L'oreal Telescopic Lash Mascara

Step 1:
Apply a thick layer of powder under your eye to collect any eyeshadow that may fall onto your cheeck. With the powder under the shadow, it's easy to brush off.

Step 2:
Create the outline of your eyeshadow shape using your white eyeliner pencil.

We're also going to divide our lid for the shadows. I like doing this because I tend to run out of room if I don't.

Step 3:
Apply a thin layer of Vaseline (or base of your chose) to your eyelid. Be careful not to smear your lines but make sure to pat Vaseline over them.

Step 4:
Apply the yellow shadow into your inner corner.

Step 5:
Apply the green shadow onto the middle of the lid. You can blend now, or save it for later. I prefer to blend last.

Step 6:
Apply the blue eye shadow onto the outer corner of your eye.

Step 7:
Blend! Because i wanted the green to stand out the most, I dipped my fluffy blending brush into the green and blended it into the yellow and blue. I also had to pick up a little more yellow and blue as I blended.

Step 8:
Take your Sheer Sand and apply it just above the shadow, but not quite into the brow bone. Blend the Sheer Sand into the shadow.

Step 9:
Apply the Milani Powder Puff under your brow bone and above the Sheer Sand.

Step 10:
Blend the Sheer Sand and Powder Puff together.

Step 11:
Line your top lash line with liquid liner.

Step 12:
Brush off the powder from under your eyes.

Step 13:
Line your lower lash line with the white eyeliner. This is going to be the base. After lining the lashes, cover a third of your lash line in the blue, another third with the green, and a final third with the yellow. Blend the colors toghether and line your water line with a black eyeliner pencil.

Step 14:
Curl your lashes and apply mascara to the top and bottom!

Step 15:
You're done!!

Wooow, separating with the eyeliner is a novel idea! I've got that Loreal HIP duo and love it!! You did an awesome job! Keep up the great work.

thanks!

I love your white eyeliner trick! I have MAC Fascinating white el, but it seems to hard and hurts when I draw it on my eyes. Do you warm yours up to soften it so it is easy to apply?

Thanks everyone...

hdirenzo, my eyeliner is already pretty soft so i dont really have to do anything to it

chipmunkvoice · 06-28-2007, 02:57 AM #15 (**permalink**)

thanks for the great tutorial krystalena~

just one question ....
do your eyelids get sticky from the vaseline?

That's awesome!

I've never seen the white eyeliner
trick to section off the eyelid. That's cool.

Great one!

Lovely, the colours are so vibrant!
But i just don't understand - doesn't the vaseline make it crease like mad?

Actually for me personally Vaseline doesnt crease like UDPP... but if it's really hott and humid outside which louisiana tends to be .... eventually after about over 6 hours and the vaseline will crease for me ..UDPP will crease after only about 3 hours or so ..for my lids the longest lasting is MAc Bare canvas paint ...But Vaseline is the best choice to get vibrant colors like Krystalena's results here. imho.

Love love kystalena's vibrant eye colors !
