Makeup Tutorial: Cherry Blossom

For this tutorial I was inspired by the colours of our Mia set! The gorgeous pink and blue cherry blossom print was created exclusively by our in-house team, so you won't see it anywhere else.

For this tutorial I'll be using some colourful pressed eyeshadow and loose eyeshadow from Sugarpill, along with their Idol false eyelashes.

I love my makeup bold and bright, but you can lay it on as thick as you like, and be as creative as you like. The great thing about these pigments is that with less product on your brushes, you can create a more subtle look!

Step 1: Using a flat brush apply the Afterparty pressed eyeshadow along the crease of your eyelid and drag around the outer edge of the eye in a curved shape. Continue the colour along the lashline of your lower lid.

Step 2: Using a medium blending brush blend the colour outwards all around the eye. Use a clean brush to add Lumi loose eyeshadow on your brow bone and blend downwards into the blue.

Step 3: Clean off the brush you used for the previous step and add the Dollipop pressed eyeshadow to your lid and the corner of your eye. Using a thin brush, add just a touch of the pink to the waterline.

Step 4: Using the brush you used for step 1, apply the  Magpie loose eyeshadow along your crease, blending out towards the outer edges. Make sure you add less towards the inner eye, and more towards the outer, so you are creating an oval shape.

Step 5: Add a touch of Lumi to the inner corner of your eye, and the centre of your lid.

Step 6:  Using liquid or gel eyeliner (I swear by Collection's Liquid Liner), create a cat-flick, starting low on the inner eye and gradually sloping upwards to the outer eye. Add your favourite mascara to the top lash.

Step 7: Add your favourite lashes - I used the Idol eyelashes, I love how the little beads work with the Lumi pigment!
