Which do you prefer, neutral or colorful makeup?

2024/8/26 Edited to

... Read moreHey beauties! I've been absolutely loving experimenting with vibrant makeup lately, and today I just had to share one of my all-time favorite creative expressions: a full face rainbow makeup look! It might sound intimidating, but trust me, with a few simple tricks, you can totally rock this dazzling style and let your inner artist shine. My journey into full face rainbow makeup started when I saw so many incredible looks online. I was particularly drawn to vibrant eye makeup featuring rainbow eyeshadow and glitter accents. I mean, who doesn't love a bit of sparkle? For me, makeup is all about fun and self-expression, and what's more expressive than wearing a literal rainbow on your face? Here’s how I usually approach creating this show-stopping look: First things first, the eyes are the star of the show. I always start with a good eyeshadow primer to make sure those colors pop and last all day (or night!). Then, I pick out my favorite rainbow palette. The key is to work in sections, blending each color seamlessly into the next. I usually start with red or pink on the inner corner, move to orange, then yellow, green, blue, and finally purple on the outer corner. Don't be afraid to build up the intensity! For that extra magical touch, I love to press some chunky glitter accents right onto the center of my lid or along the lower lash line. It catches the light perfectly and adds so much dimension. Next up, the face. With such a vibrant eye look, I tend to keep my base fairly clean and natural. A medium-coverage foundation and a light contour usually do the trick. However, if I’m feeling extra daring, I might add a very subtle wash of a complementary bright blush – think a soft peach or pink – just to tie everything together without competing with the eyes. The goal here is to create a harmonious canvas that allows the rainbow eyes to truly pop. Now, for the lips. This is where balance comes into play. I've found that a matte nude lipstick works wonderfully to complement a bold eye look. It keeps the focus firmly on the rainbow eyeshadow without making the overall look feel too overwhelming. Sometimes, if I want a little more shine, I'll opt for a clear or very sheer gloss over the nude. I’ve even seen some incredible looks where people add subtle, coordinating colored lip tints, but for my personal style, the matte nude is a winner! Finally, the finishing touches are what really bring the full face rainbow makeup look to life. I adore adding small rhinestones. You can place them subtly around the eyes, perhaps along the brow bone or as a little accent near the outer corner. I’ve even played around with them along my hairline, which adds a surprising amount of sparkle and ties into a more "diverse makeup style" vibe. And of course, no colorful look is complete without some fun accessories! I recently wore multi-colored heart-shaped dangle earrings with my rainbow look, and they matched perfectly. A good setting spray is also a must to lock everything in place and make sure your masterpiece lasts. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works for you. This look is all about embracing color, having fun, and showcasing your unique personality. Whether you’re going to a festival, a party, or just want to brighten up your day, a full face rainbow makeup look is sure to turn heads and spread some joy. Give it a try, and let me know what your favorite rainbow shades are!

I usually prefer neutral makeup looks, but I do love some fun color every once in a while! Also both of these looks are great 🥰

I love natural make up! Things that don’t conceal or cover, but rather enhance the beauty we already have!

Which do you Prefer?
I personally prefer ULTA! They have better rewards program and the store seems more colorful! I feel like there are more affordable options at Ulta as well! The only reason I still shop at Sephora is because certain brands are not available in ULTA! @Lemon8 Beauty #lemon8christmas
