Eye Makeup: Shades of the Season

Happy October! 'Tis the season of pumpkin patches, apple orchards, hot apple cider, donuts, hikes through the colorful woods, and Halloween candy! 

Below I share two eye makeup color combinations that celebrate some of the shades of the seasons: purple, orange, and green.


Autumnal: Bold
For a bold, standout look, try the following, tricolor combination, also pictured below:
Time: Nine (9) minutes (including hair, blush, and lip gloss, as well as eyes)


1. Using sponge applicator or ring finger, apply Mary Kay Apricot Twist Cream Eyeshadow to top lid.
2. Using sponge applicator or ring finger, apply Mary Kay Meadow Grass Cream Eyeshadow to brow bone, from the top of the eyelid where Apricot Twist ends, to the eyebrow.
3. Using sponge applicator, apply Mary Kay Mineral Eyeshadow in Sweet Plum to crease, sweeping up and widening line to the edge of the brow bone.
4. Apply Mary Kay brown pencil eyeliner to top lid only, starting at the lash line and continuing just beyond the edge of the eye, curving slightly upward. If you wanted to further define or highlight your eyes, or to add more drama to the overall look, you could also line the bottom lash line.
5. Apply Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara.

The eyeshadow color scheme plays off of the autumnal hue of the season, as well as in the outfit; namely, orange, green, and purple. The featured eyeshadow colors are Apricot Twist (lid), Meadow Grass (brow bone), and Sweet Plum (crease), all by Mary Kay. Bonus: This look was achieved in just nine minutes!

Autumnal: Classic 
For a simple, less dramatic look, try a two-color combination as described and pictured below.


1. Using sponge applicator or ring finger, apply Mary Kay Meadow Grass Cream Eyeshadow to top lid.
2. Using sponge applicator or ring finger, apply Mary Kay Apricot Twist Cream Eyeshadow to brow bone, from the top of the eyelid where Meadow Grass ends, to the eyebrow.
3. Apply Mary Kay brown pencil eyeliner to top lid only, starting at the lash line and continuing just beyond the edge of the eye, curving slightly upward.
4. Apply Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara in black.

Here, the featured colors are Meadow Grass (lid) and Apricot Twist (brow bone).
