Spring Fling!

This peachy gold eyeshadow combo is fresh, simple and perfect for Spring.

MAC eyeshadow in Rule is a gorgeous peachy orange color that really makes blue eyes pop, I'm actually wearing a little myself and it also works wonders with greenish brown eyes. Smashbox's Pale Gold eyeshadow adds a lovely but subtle shimmer that really brightens the eyes.




Using an angled brush, apply Rule in a sideways V shape, starting at the outer corner of your upper lid and working in the crease and along the lash line stopping about half way in.

Starting from the inner corner of your upper lid apply the Pale Gold in an opposite sideways V meeting Rule about half way and extending the top of the V a little farther just beneath the arch of your eyebrow.

Now blend well, really well. You want to introduce the colors to each other, let them mingle and finally create something beautiful together. Hopefully you get the point, we don't want distinct lines of shadow, that's not cute.

Finish the look by curing your lashes and applying mascara.

For a more dramatic look line the eyes with a dark liner and smudge out, heck, even add some false lashes.

Now you're ready, get out there and have your Spring fling!

what's in a name?

The Naked Makeup Artist.

No, I’m not actually naked. I decided on that name for my blog because I personally don’t wear much makeup on a daily basis. I usually just go for a little eyeliner and mascara, throw in a pinch of blush and I’m good. It feels a little odd considering how much I love makeup and what a big part of my life it is. I’m not sure if this goes along with the painter whose own walls remain neglected or the doctor who doesn’t take care of himself…oh well. Maybe wearing more makeup should be my resolution for 2010?
