Lookbook: Femme de Cirque Inspired Eye Makeup

I recently found this eye makeup look in a folder on my computer that I did around the same time I was swatching the OPI Femme de Cirque Collection. I didn’t put two and two together then, but I realized it was definitely inspired by the nail polish collection, which has gorgeous baby pinks and sheer pale beige-pinks in it. I put this look together in under ten minutes, and I used my Coastal Scents 88 Palette. Inside, I show you what shades I used, and a quick tutorial on how to put this look together if you want to, as well!

The Inspiration: OPI Femme de Cirque Collection

The palette I used: Coastal Scents 88 Palette

How to get this look (shades circled above):

Apply the beige shimmer shade to the inner corner of your eyes, and on the inner corner of your bottom lash line as well.
Apply the light pink-purple over your entire eyelid up to the crease.
Sweep the darker pink and purple (on the bottom of the palette) together, and blend out into your crease.
Apply the purple and a tiny bit of the black into the outer third of your eye for extra definition. Be sure to blend well!
Apply eyeliner to your upper lash line and lower water line, stopping about two-thirds of the way in.
Apply mascara and you’re ready to go!

The finished look:

I don’t typically stop my eyeliner on my lower lash line only two-thirds in, so this was a change for me. The result looks a bit harsh up close, but looked much better overall than lining all the way. I felt that lining all the way in closed my eyes up, and made them look smaller. I really enjoyed the pop of beige shimmer in the inner corners of my eyes because it made those pink and purple hues look that much brighter. You can also use a cream base such as NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in “Milk,” on your lid to make the bright colors pop even more.
