Joyeux les sunny-days!
It is beautiful out! Come to New York and experience the best weekend of the year--Memorial Day weekend aka the beginning of summer and beach season! I've been safely catching some sun rays in the park by my house and already have a slight tan happening. I bronze über quickly and most of my friends say that I look like a different person in the summer, which is probably true because I feel like a different person. I swear I wasn't meant to live in cold weather and I would easily go without snow for the rest of my life if I could.
Beauty-wise, summer season means less is more, and though I generally like to follow that tradition, I also get really excited to wear bright colors for a change. I love how poppy colors bounce off a nice fresh tan and make everything seem so cheery and fun. Today's maquillage du jour is a two-in-one, featuring my favorite summer color--TEAL with two ways to wear it on a hot summer day and/or night. Hope you like my interpretation :)
NIGHT TEAL: More is more. If you want the color to be noticeable, apply it generously :) I used an iridescent pearly highlighter to balance the bright all over color and played it down with clear gloss on the lippies. I essentially used the same color combo, but this time the teal is the focal point.

Daytime Teal

Look #1
DAYTIME TEAL: Keep the eyeshadow below your crease and concentrate the color on the center of the lid. Play up the bright shadow with a more subdued one, like grape purple or forest green. I like the purple and teal combo because the purple adds warmth while the teal keeps the look fresh and cool. Finish the look with a neutral lip like a pale purplish pink gloss.
GET THE LOOK: Start with a primer. I used NYX white base and applied it onto my lid with my finger.
- With a flat brush, apply the teal shadow using patting motions
- Using a purple shadow on a stiff round brush, blend out the teal right above the crease using windshield wiper motions (this will blend the colors together)
- Clean the round brush and use the same technique to blend out the purple
- Apply a highlighter shadow to the inner corner
- Line the top lash line, curl lashes and apply mascara
I generally don't like to match my makeup to my clothes, but there are a few exceptions... teal is one of them, if you use the color in moderation (as I did on my eyes)
Products Used: Teal from NYX Haute Model Palette; Urban Decay Fishnet e/s; NYX lipgloss in mauve; Clinique cream liner in True Black; L'Oréal Telescopic mascara
Look #2
GET THE LOOK: Start by priming your lids with a primer.
- Apply the teal shadow all over your lid, sweeping the color up and outwards
- Blend out the harsh edges using a clean stiff round brush
- Highlight under your brow and in the inner corner using a pearly lavender shadow and blend it with the teal
- Line your top lash line and extend the wing towards the outer corner of your eyebrow
- Apply mascara to the bottom lashes and add falsies on top
Dramatic lashes and exaggerated liner help define the eye
