Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July filled with fireworks and barbecue (or maybe just sitting at home, whatever works for you). I wanted to share my surprisingly wearable but also patriotic 4th of July makeup look! The look is also featuring my simple but festive nails!
I originally tried doing a funky winged eyeliner look using the NYX White Liquid Liner that is SO opaque but that was a train wreck. Disclaimer: Apparently you cannot layer eye shadows over the eyeliner, they look cracked and are not opaque. I decided to just trash that look and make up a new one (with only ten minutes to spare).
I ended up with this look that’s basically white shadows with red and blue in the crease. There’s some sparkle over the white (it’s hard to see) and the rest of my makeup remained fairly neutral with a matte red lip to top it off.
For this look, it made a huge difference when I used a light gray to shade the crease of the white and I also used a darker red and a navy to blend the crease of the red and blue accents. I also used my favorite neutral shimmer to blend out the red and blue—also a key point.
Anyways, that was my look! It lasted the entire day (although the lips faded) and I’m really happy with how it turned out! I wish I knew how to apply false lashes–they would’ve been perfect for this look.
