Ariel Inspired Look

Hey, everyone. Today I thought I would bring you a look inspired by my favorite Disney princess, Ariel. I was planning on wearing this look on my recent trip to the happiest place on Earth, but I decided not to since it was going to be extremely hot and the eye products I used are not water/sweat proof. Nonetheless, I enjoy how simple and subtly colorful this look is, so I thought I should share it anyway. Let's get started shall we?

Here is the look. Like I said it's pretty simply, but it has some nice pops of color. 

For the face, I went ahead and used the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation, which I reviewed here. (Don't mind the super dirty bottle lol)


For the fun part, I used my Balm Voyage palette from theBalm. First, I primed my lids with my Lorac Behind the Scenes primer. Next, I applied B1 all over the lid and crease area. Then, I applied A1 to the lid and slightly blended it up toward the crease to soften it a little. I then applied the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple to my upper lash line and winged it out. I topped that with the shade A2 to brighten it up and have a nice pop of purple. Similarly, I applied the Ulta automatic eyeliner in Jade to the lower lash line and winged that up. I topped off this color with B2 to brighten it up as well. Next, I curled my lashes and applied Almay's intense-i-color volumizing mascara in purple amethyst to really bring out the purple hues.The color is really subtle, but it helps bring the purple of the top liner out a little bit more. 
On the cheeks, I used the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Candy Coral very lighlty. I applied a light layer of Frat Boy blush from theBalm. They're very similar colors, so they're great to pair up for extra staying power. 
Finally, on the lips I used this Revlon lip butter in Creamsicle and the Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss in Coral Reef. The gloss itself is VERY pigmented, so it can be used alone. However, I just wanted to play with this lip butter and I liked the color I was able to get out of this lip combo. 

So, that's the look. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did. Feel free to switch out the colors and use any color combo you like. I think its a great way to incorporate bright colors to your spring/summer look without being too intimidating or too out there. 

What type of look would you like to see next?
