Prepping for your eye makeup adventure

Let’s tackle the basics first. It's best to begin clean for the perfect rainbow face makeup. Wash your face thoroughly before you start. Now that you are ready, let’s go through some tips on achieving that magical rainbow eye makeup.

• Apply a layer of cream products before you begin. That way, your colors will not only look vibrant, but the cream will also hold the makeup in place.
• Use separate brushes for each color to not mix up the shades.
• Cream colors can be used to get your color placement mapped out. You can then use powder eye shadow tints to set the colors. It’s great for color diffusion. 
• Work on the eyes before you apply your foundation cream. That way, if there is a pigments issue, your foundation can cover it up. 

A step-by-step walk to a beautiful you

Step One: 

For your color palette, you will need vibrant, eye-catching colors for more impact. A total of five shades should do the trick for the perfect rainbow eye makeup. A common pigment for both eyes is needed, apart from the two different shades you will need for each eye.

Step Two: 

You can begin from the inner corner of your eye and move your brush to blend the color outwards. Start close to your tear duct and apply yellow eyeshadow. You need to cover your inner eye corner and lower eyelash area and move toward the pupil. Once you have completed one eye, do the same for the other eye.

Step Three: 

The next pigment of choice can be blue. You can blend the color into the center, around the area where the yellow shade ends. Make sure that you apply some below the waterline (the membrane between the lashes and the eye).

Step Four: 

Your next pigment is indigo blue. Start with the outer corner of your eyelid and move right up to your eyebrows. You can also dab a bit of pigment below the waterline and blend it in as you move upwards.

Step Five: 

you can pick any two shades and repeat steps three and four on the eyelid on the other side. Voila! You have yourself the rainbow eye makeup look!

The finishing touches

A dash of eyeliner on your rainbow eye makeup will give it an edge, completing the look. You can opt for winged eyeliner for a mysterious, intriguing look. And finally, a bit of mascara to add to the drama!

Maybe a bit of work on your eyebrows too?

Defining your eyebrows is a no-holds-barred move to add that extra oomph to your look. You can use a waterproof eyebrow gel to shape and fill in your eyebrows. Now you can comb through your eyebrows to give them a finished look.

Some tried and tested tips:

• Matte finish eyeshadows require skill, and often, imperfections stick out like a sore thumb. If you are new to this, you may want to try products that glitter and sparkle. As they reflect light, the imperfections will be your secret!
• A rushed job will not give you the desired result. Blend in the colors meticulously, giving time to each detail. If you want to look like a rainbow princess, you will have to work for it!
• Go crazy! Once you have the hang of it, you can make your own rules. Think out of the box and create new looks and stand out from the crowd!
