This is definitely one of my top three favorite “every day” eye makeup looks. It’s simple and I can do it all in less than five minutes now, yet it still looks polished and makes my eyes stand out. Also, since I’m keeping the focus on the eyes, it allows me to keep the blush and lips very simple. I am using Maybelline’s Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in “Pomegranate Punk” which is my favorite one of the bunch. If you’ve got blue or green eyes, this is the ideal shade for you! It’s going to really bring out the color of your eyes and make them look even lighter and brighter. When I wear this shade, I actually get compliments on my eye color and I often get asked if I am wearing colored contacts. I think this shade just flat-out emphasizes your eyes in a really pretty, understated way, even if you’ve got hazel or brown eyes.
Pomegranate Punk is such a stunning shade. It falls in between mauve, burgundy, and purple, as it has tones from all of those. It also has a light shimmer to it that reflects the light beautifully. It’s so super smooth and it lasts for hours upon hours without smudging or creasing, even without an eyeshadow primer.
- Apply Pomegranate Punk to your entire eyelid up to the crease. Also apply this shade to your lower lash-line.
- Apply a matte light brown shade into your crease, being sure not to work it up onto your actual brow-bone. Keep it in the crease only, blending out the edges of the Pomegranate Punk, and adding a slight definition to your eye.
- Apply a light matte shade in the inner corners of your eyes.
- Apply black eyeliner to your lower waterline. Apply mascara.
The Finished Look:
To finish off the look, I apply a light pink blush to the apples of my cheeks and apply some clear shimmery lip gloss. It keeps the look simple, sweet, and daytime appropriate. It also keeps all the attention on the eyes! The entire look takes me less than five minutes to achieve, and it’s my “go to” look several days a week during the daytime.
If you’re on the fence at all about the Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow, I say yes, yes, YES! They are amazing. They stay put for hours upon hours and the color range is quite lovely.
