Sunset Eyeshadow Tutorial

As the sun appears to have gone into hiding here in England I thought I would do a sun inspired eyeshadow tutorial.  The tools you will need for this look is two fluffy crease brushes and a flat shadow brush. Plus these two beauties from NYX Cosmetics.  From the Primal Colors range Hot Red and from the Hot Singles range STFU.   

To start with prime your eyes, when I use bright colours I always do my shadow before my foundation just in case I need to clean up, although there is little if anything in the way of fall out from these eyeshadows.  

Once my eyes are primed the first thing I do is grab a fluffy crease brush (Makeup Revolution's E103) and go in with Hot Red in the crease.

As always the key to bright colours is to go in with a light hand and build the colour.  I will always tap off the excess, this way you don't look like you have fallen into a paint box.  

After I have build the red to the colour I want I go in with a flat shadow brush (Makeup Revolution's E101) into STFU.

To build the colour so it is bright yellow I pat the colour on rather than swipe with the brush.  I found this builds the colour beautifully.  

The final stage as always is the blending. Take a clean fluffy crease brush (Real Techniques' Base Shadow Brush) and blend it out so there are no harsh lines.

Once you have blended you may want to go in again with the yellow close to the lash line just to really make that colour pop.

This one I finished with a little bit of mascara and was good to go.  I would normally add an eyeliner but I am on the search for a none flaking mascara and don't want to fudge the results with stray liner.  

This is a super simple look that is really effective so give it a try.

Any questions, hints or tips leave them below.
