I love color, especially when wearing a really bold lip! It’s funny because I used to wear really bright colored eyeshadows in college and once I graduated, my makeup routine became pretty minimal (mostly do a former job with strict makeup policies).

Spring and summer are always perfect times to branch out and refresh your makeup routine. So when I saw NARS Cosmetics new Summer 2013 Color Collection, I regained my excitement. Buuut, I will also admit that as much as I love color, some of those NARS eyeshadow duos can be so intimidating! Most likely I would learn towards one color more than the other, and the duo never really gets used … as a duo at least.

Watch this brief tutorial on how to get the NARS Summertime look created by their lead makeup artist.

I love the combination of mixing a soft yellow eye with a lilac, pink lip and soft cheeks. And for those that like a little drama, that clean cat eye is the finishing touch. It’s fresh, youthful, and fun!  Here are the products that were used to create this look:
