Pastel Makeup

Hey Beauties!

I love pastels for my nails, but I always thought they don't suit me as makeup. I've seen some amazing pastel makeup looks online and really wanted to put my Essence pastel liners to use. That's how this look came about. I actually like it, even though it's not my usual cup of tea. I always think that pastels look better on someone with lighter eye color and blonde hair.


I started my eye makeup by applying eye primer and setting it with nude eye shadow. Then I added light brown to the crease as a transition shade. I applied pastel mint shade on the center of the lid. I took pastel lavender shade and applied it in the crease.


Then I added pastel lavender eyeliner in a winged like shape and tried to make it bolder to really stand out. I also used dark purple gel liner and slightly deepened around my lash line, but I tried to make it not very visible. Around my bottom lash line I applied creamy peach eye shadow.


Then I went over it with bright ocher yellow shade. I also used light yellow gold shade in the inner corners. It was time for lots of mascara to ground these pastel shades and finished. 



On my face I used very light foundation with matching concealer. I powdered my entire face. On the cheeks I used light cool toned matte pink blush. I also lightly used bronzer to balance it out with light eye shadow colors. For my highlighter I used light champagne gold shade. 


As this was pastel look, I also decided to go light with my lip color and chose pastel lavender pink. The whole look is very light in general and may not be for every taste, but I quite like that as a change. 



If you think it's too light, you can use bolder lipstick, like I did here. I used bright purple to make my lips stand out a bit more.


So what do you think of pastel makeup? Would you wear it or is it just not for you?

  1. Joj, jaz si pastelnih barv nikakor ne predstavljam na sebi.

    Mi je pa bolj všeč v kombinaciji z močno šminko! :)

    1. Hvala :) <3 Jaz jih bolj za nohte, za makeup je pa bil izziv ustvarit nekaj, kar ne bo izgledalo dead on me :D.

  4. Škoda, ker tale eyeliner od Essence ni bolj intenzivne barve, poleg tega na meni precej hitro zbledi :/ mi je pa všeč tvoj videz, ampak z močnejšo barvo šminke.

    1. Ja verjetno res. Ampak jaz sem ga pričakovala takega, ker je pač pastelen. Na meni pa se še kar obdrži, sploh če ga nanašam v več slojih :). Hvala :).

  5. Dejansko ti prav paše! <3
    Pastelne barve so kjut. ;) Po moje se da na vsakomur uporabiti vse barve, samo v pravi kombinaciji - tebi je super uspelo. :) Mi je pa boljj všeč look, kjer nisi uporabila živahne šminke. :)

    1. Hvala :) <3 Nisem bila prepričana, če bo za objavit hehe :). Točno tako. Imaš popolnoma prav. Najti je treba primerna odtenke. Meni se tudi zdi bolj zanimiv ta s pastelno šminko. Bolj povezovalno izgleda. Hvala :).

  6. Love this!! It’s perfect for S/S. The lilac and pink is really different and you seem to be really skilled at applying makeup. You look really lovely too, a natural beauty! :-) xx
