Easy 2 color eye instructions

[karen]

Sometimes you have an hour to primp- sometimes you have 5 minutes. Here's a little diagram that I made to show you how to do a really simple 2 color eye. There are no rules with makeup- it's really all about feeling like you're ready to take on the world- but just in case you need a little help- I present:

Start with a light highlight color- this can be anything. My personal favorites are Vanilla, Cherry Blossom, Boom, and Sprite (Bone is good if you're going conservative- but keep it away from your brow bone so it doesn't look too chalky). If you want a little more drama you could use something like Bare, Quartzite or Goldie Gold.

Apply a wash of your highlight color from your lashline all the way up to your brow bone.

Then take your accent color- and starting with the outside corner of your eye blend some into the crease, and then along your lash line in kind of a v shape. If you want a 'harder' line you can wet your brush, dip it into your eye shadow, and it creates a liquid liner. If I'm doing the wet line look- I like to use the back of my hand or a piece of foil as a pallette, and the brush just needs to be damp, not soaking wet.

Apply a little mascara and you're all set!

Quick tip- if you want to clean your brush between colors, the microfiber dust cloths that they sell in dollar stores work wonderfully- just run the brush over it a few times and it's nice and clean!

I love this easy eye diagram and can see how simple it would be to add a third color inside the 'v'. I want to try this one very soon.

This is my go to work routine as well. I usually use bone on my lids, vanilla as a brow bone highlight and a another color inthe "V". Works for me. Janet.

Thanks for this diagram! It is easy. Today I used Love Lure as the base and Gator Gold for the V. Great running around look.
