The Easiest Way to Spice Up Your Makeup

Do you ever get tired of doing the same old makeup routine? We get it. It's easy to get stuck in a rut. Makeup can be challenging, and not everyone can be a beauty guru. Not to mention how expensive makeup can be. But you're in luck, we have a perfect solution for you: colorful eyeliner! You might be saying, “what, eyeliner is NOT easy!” But it can be easy and affordable. Follow along to learn how to get a fun, bold makeup look that anyone can do and how to style your outfits with it!

This first look is blue eyeliner with two tones, using the Fenty Fly Pencil for $22 and the Urban Decay Glide-On Pencil for $22 (don’t worry, the affordable options are coming). Eyeliner may seem intimidating, but a cream pencil is one of the best options. Hold your eye down and glide across your eye line. At first, it may be a little wonky so have a q-tip nearby. After 1 or 2 attempts, it’ll be a piece of cake. 

A pop of colorful eyeliner is a simple way to add some excitement to a neutral outfit. A full black outfit is a power move and always looks sharp; next time, add some colorful eyeliner for some pizazz. 

If you want a more affordable option, the L.A Girl Pastel Eyeliner is only $4.99. This is also a cream pencil and gets the job done well. Try matching your eyeliner with your outfit for a more elevated look. Light greens and yellows are subtle and perfect for this upcoming spring. 

This next tip is how to really get more bang for your buck. Instead of an eyeliner pencil, purchase a colorful eyeshadow palette!  The above palette is Too Faced Chocolate Palette for $49. However, there are so many more affordable options if this is not in your budget. No matter what, a palette is a good way to go because it'll last longer and can come with multiple color options! You will also need an eyeliner brush, or any skinny brush. Using the same technique as the pencil, this is also a super easy application process. 

Don’t be afraid to mix different colors of eyeliner, and wear colorful outfits. Match pinks and greens, lights and darks, or anything you want! Spring is the perfect time to be bright and bold. 

Once you get the basics down, continue to experiment. There are endless options of what you can do with colorful eyeliner.
