Always remember, BLEND, BLEND, BLEND!!! Blending your makeup properly is always key to making any look perfect, so make sure everything is perfectly blended out. If you think your makeup is blended out perfectly, do it again one more time to make sure it's all okay. Remember, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Drop the black eyeliner! Use a fun color to line your lids with to really make your eye makeup pop. Go for a silver, white, or bright pastels to make your look stand out from the rest.

Using highlighter is a great way to give your whole face a bright and playful glow. Once you finish your eye makeup, apply a small amount of highlighter on your cheek bones and tip of your nose to make your whole face light up and be just as funky as your eyes!
