We all have those days when we want to rock a pop of color on our faces—and when it comes to eye makeup specifically, pink can be a great option. When layered just right, pink eye shadow paired with eyeliner and mascara can be just the hint of color you’re looking for without going overboard. But that doesn’t mean you can’t layer it on for a bolder eye makeup look, too. Basically, pink is one of the most versatile (and unexpected) shades to wear on your lids. Keep reading for three ways to wear pink eye makeup.
Pink Eye Makeup Look #1: Allover Pale Pink Shimmer
Take your office makeup look to the next level with a light wash of pink eye shadow across your lid and just beyond your crease. If you’re feeling especially fun, try dusting your lower lash line in the same light hue.
What you’ll need:
L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow in Always Pearly Pink
Fluffy eye shadow brush
L’Oréal Paris Voluminous X Fiber Mascara
Get the look by following these simple steps:
Step 1: Apply pale pink eye shadow. Swirl your fluffy eye shadow brush into your pink eye shadow and dust the color onto your lid, extending from your lash line just beyond your crease. Be sure to blend the color a bit higher at the outer edge of your eyes, while shaping closer to your crease towards your inner lids.
Step 2: Top off your look with mascara. To give your pretty look just a tad more sass, coat your lashes with fiber mascara. The two-step mascara adds volume and length to your lashes for a truly eye-catching appeal.
Pink Eye Makeup Look #2: Bold Pink Lids
Heading out for a night on the town? Or maybe you just want to give your office look a bold pop of color to awaken your appearance? Try this next eye makeup look!
What you’ll need:
L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow in Glistening Garnet
Small tapered eye shadow brush
L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner in Black
L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara
Get the look by following these simple steps:
Step 1: Apply your bold pink eye shadow. Swirl your small tapered eye shadow brush into your pink eye shadow and dust the color onto your lid. It’s best to use this shape of eye shadow brush because it will help keep your color targeted to a specific area which is what you want.
Step 2: Apply eyeliner. If you’re rocking a bold eye shadow, pair it with a dark eyeliner color to help give your eyes a wide-open appeal. Take a black pencil eyeliner and tightline your upper lash line. Feel free to move to your lower lash line, too, if you’re into that.
Step 3: Finish with mascara. Swipe on as many coats of mascara as you deem fit.
Pink Eye Makeup Look #3: Rosy Metallic Shimmer
Metallic madness may have begun in 2017, but there’s been no sign of it slowing down anytime soon. If you love the look of all things shimmery and jewel-inspired, try this metallic rose gold eye makeup look on for size. You’re sure to love it!
What you’ll need:
L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Metallics Eye Shadow in Rose Chrome
Fluffy eye shadow brush
L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner in Brown
Mascara
Get the look by following these simple steps:
Step 1: Apply rose gold eye shadow. Swirl a fluffy eye shadow brush into your rose gold eye shadow and dust it onto your lids. Whether you want to keep the color confined to your lids or extend it up beyond your crease, the end look is sure to be beautiful.
Step 2: Apply eyeliner. Since rose gold is such a pretty, neutral pink hue, the last thing you want to do is take away from its glory. So, step away from your favorite black eyeliner and pick up a brown one. Instead of swiping a line along your upper lash line in a rush, take the time to gently pull your lids back and tightline the color between your lashes. While this won’t create a noticeable straight line of eyeliner, it will give the appearance of thicker, more defined lashes to help accentuate your gaze.
Step 3: Finish with mascara. One, two, three coats, it’s up to you.
