To clarify, I don't drink, so I've never actually had champagne, BUT I know that anytime somebody is planning something romantic they get champagne haha. I ALSO know that as an eyeshadow color it is beautiful! Now as for the strawberry portion of this post...I've never in my life worn pink eyeshadow, but I was thinking about chocolate dipped strawberries (mmmm) and then how pretty I think pink and brown look together. Guess who has brown eyes?? ME and if pink and brown look so good together, then pink eyeshadow MUST look beautiful with brown eyes...right???! Answer: YES!!! Even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I will post a tutorial on my youtube channel later, I'm just too lazy to edit right now, but be on the lookout. For now I will explain what I did, list the products and show you lots of pictures! YAY!
Alright so, to begin, I started with a fairly flawless face, I tried to keep my face pretty basic, not really a whole lot of contouring or highlighting or anything. I wanted the focus to be on my eyes and my eyes alone. I filled my eyebrows in with a medium brown powder. Then using an eyesshadow primer, I applied that all over my lid. I then used a mix between a satin finish rosy pink shadow and a matte lilac shadow. Basically I was just experimenting with color so I just layered these shadows until I got the desired color. Next I applied a skin colored shadow under my brow and in my crease. I then placed a light brown shadow in the crease and slightly above the crease and then applied a dark brown shadow in my eye socket. The key to this look is to get a really good blend between all the colors, but to keep the colors true to their color. I used a fluffy brush a lot and just kept applying color and then blending it out. It's a little tedious, but it's worth it! After the colors all blend together seamlessly, I placed a little bit of a champagne highlight in my inner corner and right under my brow. Taking a black cream liner, line the upper lash line and really draw the wing out. I'm not wearing false lashes, but I want to give the illusion of having that really fluttery, romantic eye look and the dramatic winged liner does the trick. Then place a dark brown liner in the waterline and place a little bit of the darker brown shadow on the lower lashline. Apply LOTS of mascara and VOILA!!!! :) I definitely think this is a soft romantic look and with soft curls is perfect for a date night, but it's also light enough to wear during the day as well. If I were going somewhere and really wanted to amp this look up, I would put some false lashes on and swap the brown liner out on the waterline for a black one and throw a little black eyeshadow on the outer corner. This would also be really beautiful with gold or bronze or a shimmery taupe color (like verve in the Naked 2 palette by UD)! Have fun!!!!
