Colorful Christmas inspired look - tutorial

Yes, I finally did it - a Christmas inspired look! This might be a bit too much for some people, but personally I like my makeup to stand out sometimes. If you're looking for a bright, colorful look for a late Christmas party or just something festive and fun for the holiday season, give it a go :) This time I'll try to make the tutorial more simple than the smokey eye one. I didn't take pictures of the products I used because it doesn't really matter which brands you use if you want to recreate this look, but here's a list of the products in order of use:

Eyes
- Gosh Waterproof Eye shadow (stick) "010 Green"
- Beauties Factory 120 Palette (gold and green shadows)
- Wet n Wild Eye Pencil "1F" - turquoise
- Inglot Liquid Eyeliner "27 Silver"
- Illamasqua Pure Pigment "Furore"
- Eveline Eye Pencil "Black"
- NYX Triple Eye Shadow Palette "33 Lake Moss"
- Lumene Volumizing Mascara "Black"

Lips
- Lumene Natural Code Lipstick "15 Vintage Red"

- First, apply a piece of tape from the outer corner of the eye up to the eyebrow. This way you'll easily get a nice, crisp edge with the shadows. Before placing the tape near your eye, make sure to peel it off from your hand a couple of times to get rid of excess stickiness! 

- Then apply the waterproof eye shadow up to the crease for a sticky base, and make sure it meets with the edge of the tape.

- Apply a highly pigmented shimmery gold eye shadow from the inner corner to about half of the lid.

- Use a shimmery dark green shadow and apply it over the rest of the base.

- Blend out the crease a little bit with a blending brush. I used a mixture of dark green matte eye shadow and some medium brown eye shadow.

- Gently remove the tape and add a matte highlight color under your brow.

- For the lower lash line, apply some dark green or turquoise pencil, and top it with a matte dark green shadow. To highlight the inner corners, first do a thin coat of glittery liquid eyeliner and then put a shimmery shadow on top. Or if you happen to have a shadow that's vibrant enough to use alone, you can skip the liquid liner.

- If you want to add some depth to the upper lash line, apply black eye pencil and use a dark green or regular black eye shadow on top of it and softly blend it out a bit. 

- Here's what it should look like with both eyes done. To finish off, apply two coats of your favorite mascara, and then add a pair of fake lashes if you want some extra drama.

- Apply red lipstick for a festive touch :) Nude lips would also work with the eyes.

- Finished! 

I'm not sure if I'll make any new posts before Christmas is actually here - depends on if I get any ideas or requests - but if I don't, Merry Christmas everyone! :)
