You may admire colorful eye looks from a distance but be afraid to wear them. We understand that softer, smokey eye makeup styles and neutral tones are ideal for everyday use, but we’re here to persuade you to go for a colorful ride instead and look awesome. The best approach to enhance your complete look is without a doubt by adding some color to your eye makeup.
We’ve received a lot of inspiration on how you can start wearing color and feel good about it thanks to some incredibly creative makeup artists and the influence of Instagram. One of the best ways to wear color on your eyes is with a gradient rainbow eyeshadow look, which is a fantastic way to embrace color.
Steps for Creating a Rainbow Eyeshadow Look
1. Priming Your Eyelids
Start with a concealer or eyeshadow primer to prepare your eyelids. Use your ring finger to dab a dime-sized amount of concealer gently onto your lids until it is well blended. Oily eyelids can be primed with a waterproof eyeliner pencil for those who have them.
2. Start in the Inner Corner
Apply both pink eyeshadow colors to the top crease and inner corner of your eyes using a big, fluffy makeup brush. Add more pink shades until you achieve the desired level of color intensity. To soften any harsh lines, lightly mix your eyeshadow around the edges.
3. Cover the center of the lid with eyeshadow
Apply purple directly next to the pink shade with a clean, fluffy eyeshadow brush, extending it onto the middle of the lid. After that, use a clean brush to soften any angular lines by dabbing some blue in the corners.
4. Blend eyeshadow into the outer corner of the eye
With a flat eyeshadow brush, carefully blend golden emerald into the area of the blue shade. Apply this green shade in the shape of a wing at the outside corners of your eyes, dragging it down to the outside corners of your lower lid. Make sure to thoroughly blend all of your colors.
5. Line the Lower Lash Line
Take a tiny, pointed eyeshadow brush, and use it to apply a yellow shadow down the lower lash line.
6. Make a winged eyeliner
With the ideal winged eyeliner, complete your rainbow eyeshadow. Then, curl your lashes and apply several layers of mascara to lengthen and add strong volume.
7. Accent the Inner Corner
Use a small shadow brush to carefully apply the powder on the brow bone and inner corner of your eyes. Consider this tiny amount of highlighter as the cherry on top that will illuminate your entire rainbow eye look.
