Pop of Color

Tired of having the same neutral makeup everyday? With this look, you will have the ability to add a small pop of color to give a fresh, bright look. It may sound hard at first but actually, it's quite simple. Adding a pop of color can be done in many ways, but I will be explaining one of the most common and easiest ways that should take no longer than five minutes total. It doesn't matter what color is used, just be sure that you have an eyeshadow to set the liner that you will be using.

Directions:
     1. Prime your eyelids. Make sure to use a primer that you know will last a long time. This step is very important because primer helps intensify the color of the shadow. Use your ring finger so that there is no tugging on the skin that could potentially create wrinkles.
      2. Begin with a neutral shadow. It can be matte or shimmery, but be sure to keep the shimmer to a minimum. If there is too much, it will be too overdone and the eye won't be drawn to the color. A champagne tone shadow would be best.
     3. An optional step would be to contour your eyes with a darker shade of brown. This should definitely be matte.
     4. Highlight with a soft, shimmery white. Focus the product on your brow bones and the inner corner of your eye. This will draw light to your face without distracting it from the color.
     5. With a colored eyeliner of your choice, begin dragging the pencil along your waterline. Don't push too hard because you could possibly scratch your eye. Move it back and forth along the waterline so that the color is extra pigmented.
     6. An optional step is to set the color with an eyeshadow. This is also the time to slightly blend the product into your lower lashline. Not only will it set the color but it will also allow the color to be more noticeable.
     7. Black eyeliner on the upper lashline is optional. If you do decide to use it, a pencil is probably better so that it can be blended better. Avoid a heavy wing because it will draw attention away from the color.
     8. On the top lashes, apply mascara as you usually would.
     9. This step is also optional-- you can take a colored mascara that matches your eyeliner and apply it to your bottom eyelashes for further coloring.
