I have been raving about the arrival of Spring and the new launches of makeup lines (read: M.A.C Hello Kitty) that follow in its brilliant floral trail. With my recent acquisition of several makeup magazines and a whole new set of Everyday Minerals spring eye colours, I decided to ignite the creative spirit in me and be adventurous with my eye makeup.

As spring is about all things bright and cheery, I decided that gold is THE colour to have this year.

This first look is inspired by the golden sun and the lush green grass. I think many of us dream of applying green eyeshadow, yet never know how to for fear of looking like a green-eyed monster (literally). Thus, I decided to choose a really light green colour to go with the brilliant gold colour of my eyes.

My mineral spring look is made up of entirely mineral makeup items save for the eyeshadow base, mascara and eyeliner.

That night, I went out again and decided to stick to using gold as the base. But for a night look, I tried a darker/stronger second colour also using mineral makeup. You’d be surprised that their eyeshadows are pretty pigmented for a wonderfully cheap price. The only gripe that some people may have about them is that they come in loose powder forms.

As you can tell because I used a different foundation shade, the colour of the skin differs in both pictures. I never actually noticed the subtle difference but the Warm category one makes my face a little bit more orangey and hence seem a little more tanned. The Buff category one, on the other hand, provides some hint of pink giving a more cherubic look.

I dare say, my makeup skills are improving a teeeeeeeennnny bit.

I think Domo agrees too. Haha.
