L.F DOES S/S - SPRING EQUINOX

Soft candy coloured hues..... love.
I've mentioned this video before here, I love the placement and application - all about layering guys!
The colour scheme I used reminds me of this Ilamasqua promo image - I wanted to mimic the skin which has this ethereal cool glow tinge.
You know that paranoid/insecure feeling when your trying out something 'new' for the first time? I had that. Anyway I'm over that initial stage.... I kind of love my green locks now! Shame it's not a permanent dye.
KEY PRODUCTS:
BENEFIT - BELLA BAMBA
BENEFIT - POSIE TINT
BENEFIT - EYE BRIGHT
THE BODY SHOP SHIMMER CUBES - 18
E.L.F EYE TRANSFORMER - BLUE
A RANGE OF IRIDESCENT EYESHADOWS IN PASTEL TONES - I'VE DEPOTTED MY EYE SHADOWS SORRY!

Hey guys, I guess this a 'typical' spring look with the soft muted pastel colours and iridescent finishes. I really enjoyed creating this I felt like some mermaid-pixie.
My advice is to avoid matte/pigmented eye shadows as you want to layer the colours to create these transparent hues. I always rave about E.L.F's eyeshadow transformer but it's seriously the best! The iridescent shots of colours makes it great for layering over colours and for softening edges whilst adding more dimension.
I've gone quite heavy with the highlighting to mirror the eyes - just make sure to highlight and powder the right areas or you'll look oily rather than dewy!
