Your Eyelids: Summer-ized!

Turn up the heat, make the day light last longer and fill up the retail stores with bathing suits-it's time to summer-ize!

What does this mean, you wonder? It means lighter/easier makeup!

I don't know what it is about summer that makes putting on make up such a chore all of the sudden. At first I thought it's got to be the heat, but on regular days when we're not lounging at the pool we're out side for what, 20 minutes max?

Well, whatever the reason I lighten up what's going on my face tremendously and here's how I do it on my eyes...(Oh! And bonus-my whole process from start to finish takes less than 10 minutes-how's that for fresh and fast!)

I start with Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer. Sometimes I end the eye lid decorating there because it's got a great shimmer sheen to it and could be worn alone. But on days I'm feeling froggy I go a little further...

Next I take my brush and get a lot of nude shimmer, then I dab that in the white (the bottom right color in the picture). I like to have a bright white accent at the front of my lid right where my pupils are if I'm looking straight. I do this because I like a little extra shimmer and brightness.

For the eyeliner part...well you can hop back a day and read all about that in yesterdays spiff.

I finish it with that white shadow in the corners of  my eyes-it makes you look so awake!
And of course mascara (borringgg-my least favorite part of the make up process, but oh so necessary-I know!)

And wha-la! The perfect summer shimmer eye for whatever it is you're doing inside or out! And it doesn't blessedly take that long.
