Makeup Tutorial: Coral and Turquoise
Today I did a look that'd be cute for a pool party or a trip to the beach using Avon's Aquadelic Quad.
Step 1: Today is way too hot for Foundation, so just apply the powder of your choice, I used ELF's Complexion Perfection.
Step 2: Prime your lids to avoid creasing. My go-to primer is ELF's Eyelid Primer. If you want to intensify your lid color, use a thin application of NYX White Eye Shadow Base.
On the eyes today I used Avon's Aquadelic quad, which looks like this:

Step 3: Apply the light gold color from your lash line to your brow
Step 4: Apply the coral color all over the lid, this is the focal point of the look.
Step 5: Apply a medium taupe color in the crease, lightly blending with the coral. If you want to deepen the look, apply a slightly darker taupe to your outer V
Step 6: Apply the dark charcoal color to your upper lash line, using an angled eyeliner brush
Step 7: Use a turquoise eyeliner on your bottom lash line, like Wet n' Wild's Color Icon pencil, then trace over that line with the aqua shade from the palette
Step 8: Apply black pencil or gel liner on your lower waterline, to make the aqua line look brighter. A good eyeliner for this is Avon's Ultra Luxury Liner
Step 9: Apply your favorite waterproof mascara on your top and bottom lashes. I use Maybelline Volume Express: The Falsies
Step 10: Lightly bronze your cheeks and hairline. My favorite bronzer is BYS Blush&Bronze in Pure Bliss.
Step 11: Taking a mix of the gold and peach colors from ELF's Shimmer Palette, highlight the tops of your cheek bones
Step 12: Apply a lip stain for lasting color, I used Covergirl's Outlast lip stain in 430. Then apply a balm or gloss with SPF over it, for moisture and shine.
