Mint Melt eyeshadows"},"content":{"rendered":"

Since my last post, I have continued testing out the Mint Melt eyeshadows.<\/p>\n

Here are three simple looks I have created:<\/p>\n

Look One:<\/h2>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

I used all four shadows in the \u201cMint to Be\u201d palette, but I specifically wanted to test the green matte in this look.<\/p>\n

I started by applying that shade all over my lid.<\/p>\n

I had to pack on a lot of the mint green for a it to show up because it is one of the chalkier shades.<\/p>\n

I also chose to use an eyeshadow primer beforehand to help make this process easier. I was able to make the shadow work fairly well; it just took some time to get it to really show up.<\/p>\n

I then darkened the look with the grey matte shade on my crease and toward the outer edge of my eye.<\/p>\n

I blended out the shadow in a cat eye shape, but you could also use tape to help create a sharper edge.<\/p>\n

I finished off the look with placing the green shimmer in the inner corner of my eyes.<\/p>\n

I really love the way this look came out. It feels super cute and radiant.<\/p>\n

In all three looks, I am wearing Ardell magnetic eyelashes #110 (review coming soon).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look Two:<\/h2>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

For this look, I switched things up a bit and used all the shadows in the \u201cChocolate Mint\u201d palette.<\/p>\n

I started out by blending the dark brown shade on the outer edge of my eye.<\/p>\n

I used the light brown shade to buff out the dark shadow.<\/p>\n

I then used an angled brush with the dark brown shadow to create a winged liner look.<\/p>\n

To finish it off, I put a bit of the green shimmer on my inner corner.<\/p>\n

This is more of an \u201ceveryday\u201d look, but I really like the way it looks.<\/p>\n

I think the pop of green in the inner corner is subtle, but it makes the look so much more interesting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look Three:<\/h2>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

For this last look, I wanted to do some line work.<\/p>\n

I started off by packing on the green shimmer and the mint shade from the \u201cMint to Be\u201d palette. I used a flat brush to shape a curved line above my crease.<\/p>\n

I did this somewhat messy because after I added the shadow, I used a cotton swab and micellular water to clean up the line.<\/p>\n

I then used the same shadows to draw a line below my lower lashes.<\/p>\n

I completed the look by using an angled brush and the dark brown shade from the \u201cChocolate Mint\u201d palette to draw a wing. I also added a hint of the peach shimmer from the \u201cChocolate Mint\u201d palette below my brow.<\/p>\n

I really like the way this look makes my eyes pop. I also really like the eccentric vibes this look gives off.<\/p>\n
