Summer Tutorial: Dominican Republic

Did you think that I've ran out of ideas for the Summer Tutorials Series? Not likely! Here's the third tutorial inspired by the clear blue sea of the Dominican Republic. Thanks, Kia, for the suggestion! I made both a video and picture tutorial for this one and again, do let me know which one you like better so that I'll have an idea on what to do in future. I've adjusted the white balance and zoomed in so I hope the quality's better now. Since this tutorial only focuses on the eye, the video is in normal speed.

Read on for both media of tutorials!

This is the look we're trying to achieve... Check out the hoop earrings! I'm so into them but I know my interest will only last for a little under 2 weeks.

Star by applying your base makeup as usual. I'm using a darker foundation to give myself a warmer complexion. And also, this is the only foundation that would agree with my messed up skin for the time being.

After prepping lid with a primer, apply a teal base (Rollickin') on 2/3 of the lid with your finger. Pat on a bright teal (Electric Eel) over the base with a firm eyeshadow brush (e.l.f.). Then, apply a beige (Ricepaper) shade on the inner portion of the lid, blending upwards and also into the bright teal. Take a round crease brush and place the dark blue (Kajiki) into the outer corner of the lid and bring the color halfway into the crease.

With a fluffy crease brush, blend the dark blue really really well until it gets smoked out. Apply highlight color under the brow. Use a small brush and place the colors on the bottom lash line following the order of the colors on the top lid.

Line the top lash line with dark green gel liner and the water line with black pencil liner. Finish off with mascara.

Hope you found both tutorials useful!
