AMW Version: Twiggy Inspired Summer-Ready Make-Up By askmewhats

 I want to continue my discussion on Summer-Ready Make-up!  I just gave tips yesterday on how to summer-readify (if there's such term) your make-up!  Now it's time to create my version of a bright, fun summer make-up anyone can do!

Of course a twist will always be nice!  I have some bottom lash falsies which reminded me so much of Twiggy!  Twiggy-look is known for "cutting the crease" and I want to put a twist!  Bright, summery shades plus the falsies Twiggy is known for!  Are you ready for the outcome?
Here you go, simple shades yet falsies gave  the nice impact!

Promise, the steps are super simple
and easy to follow!

Step 1:
Apply a nice, matte base for the colors to pop out.  Most summer shades are not that pigmented like the ones I will use.  So I use Benefit's Lemon Aid.


Pat on MAC Sunshine Yellow eyeshadow with a flat shader blush.  Apply on the crease area going beyond.  Pat more as desired.
 Step 2:
With a small blending brush from the Urban Decay Palette, I applied Milani Garden Mist eyeshadow on the crease area only blending upwards.  

Step 3:
Since I planned on using thick falsies, I won't be lining my eyes much, instead I tigthtlined with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Zero (black).  Apply Urban Decay 24/7  Glide on Eye Pencil in Yeyo (white) on the water line to make eyes pop.  
Do not forget to fill in your brows.



I re-used GlamBox Mink Lash
I love it that the lashes stay in good shape
even after several usage
 

I applied A020 lower lash from KKCenterHK
Easy to apply even for a first timer like myself
I used Ardell LashGrip Eyelash Adhesive in Clear

 Voila!  My Twiggy Inspired
Summer-Ready makeup
You can always opt just to create the eye makeup minus the falsies
