Hi everyone!

This is look #2 of my Spring/Summer Look Book. Look #1 was Everyday makeup using colored liners.

Blue and green and my favorite shades for bright spring/summer eye makeup. For this look, I have paired a very popular color this season - Turquoise blue, with Forest green for the eyes with Nude lips for the daytime and Plum lips for the evening.

On a well moisturized face, apply foundation, set it with compact and apply Bronzer on cheeks. For the eyes, pair a Turquoise blue eyeshadow with dark green( outer half of lid) and pair this with Nude lips for the daytime and glam it up with Plum lips for the evening.

I have kept the turquoise shade intense only on the inner half of lid and blended it out with dark green to keep the look subtle and wearable.

This is the final look (with nude lips )
