The Spring Blues

Disclaimer:  I purchased these.

Every spring I seem to veer towards wearing bright eyeliner with a neutral toned lid.  Something about it feels fresh yet vibrant, kind of like spring itself.  To that end, Urban Decay's 24/7 eye pencils in Chaos, Electric, and Deep End were released from the vault.

Chaos is a dark periwinkle matte blue, Electric is a bright turquoise shimmer, and Deep End is a vibrant teal shimmer.

I love using bareMinerals 5-in-1 BB Cream eyeshadow in Barely Nude as an eye base, as it is a perfect match for my skin tone and both smooths out my lid while minimizing imperfections.  It's not a true matte as there is a very subtle shimmer that keeps it from falling flat without registering as a visible shimmer.

To add a bit more shimmer I then topped it with the #8 flesh colored My Parisian Pastels shimmer cube by Lancome (full review here).  Chaos then adds a hint of color without screaming "colored eyeliner!".  I used Estee Lauder's LE Sumptuous Color mascara in extreme indigo on my bottom lashes to provide a bit more blue to my lower lash line.  I really like how this turned out.

For this look I used Deep End on my upper lash line and Electric on my lower lash line and paired them with a light gold shimmer (#7 My Parisian Pastel) and soft orange matte shadows (stila Clay) over Barely Nude.  

What do you do with your makeup to signal the arrival of spring?
