Enjoying the Summer Weather (Face of the Day)

The weather's actually been good in England recently. Summer might actually rear its pretty little head this year. Which would be surprising.

Whenever the sun shines I crack out my more colourful Sleek palettes. This time I chose the Curacao palette which is BEAUTIFUL. It pretty much hands every bright colour to you on a well designed plate.

Sleek always gets me because they constantly release limited edition palettes. Even if I probably have doubles of the colours I'll buy it. But this palette is pretty individual. It's also pretty great that the eye shadows are named after cocktails. And that's what I had in mind when creating this look, I wanted the colours of a Tequila Sunrise. I then remembered how pretty the rest of the shadows were and decided to use as many as possible.

I started with using Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Yellow' as a base. Matte colours sort of always need a base, especially a yellow. I then patted on 'Screwdriver' on the first half of my lid and 'Bloody Mary' on the other half, blending them together with 'Tequila Sunrise'.
I then used 'Cork' by Mac in the crease, to tie things together a bit. I darkened the outer corner with 'Purple Haze' and softened the inner corner of the crease with 'Blue Hawaiian'. I finished it off with 'Green Iguana' on the lower lash line and Martini in the inner corner and beneath the brow.
I have the Max Factor lipfinity lasting lip tint in 07 on my lips.
