Earth Day 2018 | Earth-inspired Eye Look + Manicure

Hello everyone! I just wanted to do a quick post to wish you a happy Earth Day! For this special day, I decided to do an Earth-inspired eyeshadow look and manicure!

Earth Day Eye look

For the eye look, I decided to take on Earth from a space point of view. I first blended some warm browns and finally a black into the crease to simulate space, with some flecks of silver and gold glitter to represent stars. I also drew a white iridescent moon near the brow. For the lid, I did a blue and green halo eye, with a iridescent liner around the periphery to represent the airglow (glow caused from elemental reactions in Earth’s atmosphere) that is often seen around the periphery of Earth in space shots. Finally, I blended some green and blue shadows on the lower lash line, and finished off the waterline with a blue liner.

I am so happy with how pretty this look turned out! In the middle of it, I knew it could be awesome or a disaster, so I am glad that it turned out well!

Earth Day Manicure

For the manicure, I decided to go with a more abstract Earth design, also potentially as viewed from space. I started off by painting my nails white, so that I could get maximum brightness from the colours that I applied afterwards. I then dabbed two shades of blue and two of green in a scattered and uneven pattern on a sponge, and layered on to my nails until I was happy with the pigmentation!

The result was a very water-coloured effect, which is so pretty, and I think really fitting for Earth day!
