2009 Back to School Makeup Trend

Starting off school with punk neon plaid skirts? Of course it will be a great year! With the variety in colors for wardrobe this year, it would be best to invest in makeup colors that would go great with most the items you have. I have listed below steps in accomplishing a look wearable throughout fall yet able to be spiced up or simmered down according to how you’re dressed and also, so it does not become boring.

Step 1: Prep your eyes with “Eye Primer”. This will be placed all over the lid with Oval Concealer Brush.

Step 2: Using “Moulin Rouge” mineral shadow, blend it from lash line upward just above the crease of your eye but not all the way to the brow bone. This can be done by using the Chisel Fluff Brush side of the Angle Liner & Chisel Fluff Brush (2 in 1 brush).

Step 3: Using “Gothic” mineral shadow as a liquid liner, place it at the outer corner of your eye and slightly bring it inward midway. This may be done with the same brush used in the previous step however, use Angle Liner end instead.

Step 4: Also using “Gothic” mineral shadow as liquid liner, place it just below bottom eyelash line midway (again, not all the way in). Again, this may be done by using the same brush end in the previous step.

Step 5: Then add “Swan Lake” mineral shadow as a liquid to the waterline and inner corner of your eyes. Another tip to set of this look would be adding “Gem” mineral shadow on top of “Swan Lake” and bringing it down just below the “Gothic” liquid line at bottom of eyes. Because there is a drastic color change, you may want to use an alternate brush to apply this such as the Angle Fluff Brush.

This is a great way to match your rockin’ outfit this school year to your makeup. Remember, you can dress it up a bit by adding more “Gothic” mineral shadow to your eyes or for a smokey look or dress it down by adding less “Gothic” or “Moulin Rouge” mineral shadow.

Please know that the colors used are not the only ones capable of making this great look. The following mineral shadows are also suggested depending on your mood or outfit for the day: Barbie (pink), Jade (green), or Violet (purple). The finished look should resemble the picture as shown below.

The main point is to have fun with it and what better way than by using all the bright and bold mineral colors that Mahya Cosmetics has to offer at a great price!
