Pink eye shadow look

A pink eye shadow look is soft, romantic and surprisingly wearable. In this tutorial you'll learn how to create a beautiful pink look that's suitable for sensitive eyes.

Choosing the right pink

Pink eye shadow comes in many varieties: from soft pastel pink to deep mauve. Choose a shade that suits your skin tone. Lighter skin tones look beautiful with cool pink shades, while warmer skin tones are stunning with peachy pinks.

Step 1: Primer

Start with an eye shadow base to intensify the colour and extend wear. This is especially important for lighter shades that can otherwise fade quickly.

Step 2: Light base

Apply a light pink across the whole lid. This becomes your base shade on which you build the rest of the look.

Step 3: Depth

Use a deeper pink or mauve in the crease for definition. Blend well upwards for a soft transition.

Step 4: Shimmer accent

Apply a pink shimmer to the centre of your lid and the inner eye corner. This gives the look a fresh, glamorous finish.

Tip

Pair this look with a nude lip colour and subtle blush for a harmonious whole. The pink tones in your eye shadow are then beautifully picked up by the rest of your make-up.
