Northern Lights

This look is MUCH easier than it looks!  I does require a fair amount of products, but it is well worth it.  I can't tell you how many people complimented me when I wore this.  This look was inspired by Linda Hallberg (click her name to see the original look.  She is insanely beautiful and an incredible makeup artist.  She has a lot of looks/tutorials on Pinterest.  Ok, so here goes nothing:

 

Step 1: Cover lid all the way up to the brow bone with primer.
I used MAC Paint Pot in Painterly

Step 2: Dust a neutral color all over lid and up to brow bone.
I used Bare Minerals Light Show

Step 3: Pat a pale green/gold color onto the lid.
I used Bare Minerals Invitation

Step 4: Fill in outer corner with a medium to dark blue color.  As you can see, this does not have to be perfect.  It can be very messy because we are going to do a lot of blending.
I used Bare Minerals Denim

 Step 5: Blend a pale to medium purple into the crease and up a little.  Make sure it doesn't reach up to the brow bone completely.
I used MAC Stars 'n' Rockets



**Note: If I were to do this look again (and I will) I would skip step 4 so I wouldn't have to go back and do step 6...this is a learning process**

 Step 6: Go back in with the blue color and a crease brush and blend the blue directly into the crease and on the far outer corner

Step 7: I went back with my light green/gold shade and patted a little more down to lighten up the look a little more.

Step 8: Line the top and bottom lashes.  Be VERY light on the bottom lashes.  I didn't add any extra product to my brush and used a very light hand just to thicken the lash line.

**Optional: line the water line with the light green/gold color to make the eye appear larger**

Step 9:  Finally add some mascara and you're good to go!
I used MAC Haute & Naughty
