Purple/pink spring makeup tutorial









I was really excited to use my new Avon Cool Bliss eyeshadow so as soon as it came in, I started working on a pretty, fresh look for spring! I thought it would be fun to use mostly Avon/Mark products. Hope you like!

Products I used:

Face: Mark Powder Buff in Buff skin
Cheeks: Mark's Bronzini*
Eyes: Avon Cool Bliss in Pebble Stone
Mark e/s in White Hot*
Mark e/s in Violet Femme*
Mark e/s in Vampette*
Mark mini Mark it stick for eyes in Pink Opal
Mac eye khol in Smolder
L'oreal telescopic mascara
Lips: Avon Moisture seduction lipstick in Plum Gorgeous
Mark lipgloss in Lotus Pop*

*Came from Mark it kit


First I apply the pressed foundation with a powder brush (I don't really recommend using the foam pads they send you with the product because it's harder to evenly distribute color without a brush). Then sweep the bronzer over the apples of your cheek and pull the color back with a blush brush.
On the eyes, apply the cool bliss e/s all over the lid using a finger or a brush meant for cream eyeshadow.

Then using any eye shadow brush apply Violet Femme just to the lid.
Using a different eyeshadow brush (or you can tap the color off and reuse the same brush like I did), put Vampette in your crease. The easiest way I know of doing this is by spinning your brush in a small circle on the outer corner of your lid and continue spinning the brush while you move the color slowly up, following your crease. The e/s is very sheer so for a more dramatic look, you may have to do this several times.
Rub your finger in White Hot and apply just below your brow bone for highlight. You could probably even use this on the top of your cheek bone for added highlight but since it's so shimmery, and I'm going for a simple daytime look, I didn't do that.


For an added pop to your eyes, use the Mark it stick to line the inner corner of your eyes, top and bottom.

Since this is more of a daytime look, apply your eyeliner just to the waterline on the bottom and the lash line on top if you want. Curl your lashes, apply mascara. Apply lipstick then the Lotus Pop lip gloss and voila! You're done!!
