What kind of makeup do you wear when you vote early for the US presidential elections?  I don’t know about you, but I did some sunrise eyes.  I guess I wanted to do something sunny and warm and optimistic.

Take a gander:

This is one of my favorite looks, and I hadn’t done it in a while.  Today seems like as good a day as any.

Here’s the products and techniques I used:

Pink is my favorite color.  Can you tell?

So, of course, I need to do a look with some great pink colors.  Heck, the vast majority of my clothes are pink.  I might as well match.

Today, I’m going to show you a super cute pink look that sort of reminds me of geranium flowers.  That’s why I’ve called it Geranium. Creative, no?

You may notice that the pictures in this tutorial are better than previous ones.  Yeah, I’m getting the hang of this.

So read on for the Geranium makeup tutorial.

Purple is so in right now.  I went to a clothing store the other day and almost everything on the racks had purple in it.  (It’s a shame.  I wish pink was in right now, but I guess purple is the new pink.)

In the makeup world, smoky eyes is in right now as well.  I decided to put these two trends together, so I created Plum Smoke.

Did you know that you can do a smoky eyes look without using any grey or black eye shadow?  It’s true.  The smoke in this tutorial is subtle, but still so totally adorable, without any of those colors.

This look also has a vintage feel based on how I did the eyeliner and mascara.  If you like vintage makeup techniques, then you’ll like this look.

Mmm, I just love lemon lime. Whether it’s a food or drink, it nearly always tastes good. What a great flavor combination! Since it can be so good for flavors, why not for makeup, too? Sure, we won’t be tasting this look, but it can still look as fresh and bright as lemon lime.

I was actually inspired to do this look today because I’m wearing a green shirt. You’ll see that in the end, the green on my eyes doesn’t really match the green on my shirt.

Oops! Oh well, you can’t always help what the end result is once you use your inspiration. Right?

Get ready, because we are so about to learn the Lemon Lime Look.

Follow these steps and you should come out with a similar makeup look.

I don’t always like to play it safe. In fact, I like to go crazy sometimes. Many people would avoid the look I’m going to teach you today, but whatever. I think it’s cute!

I think about the fact that I have nearly every color in the rainbow when it comes to eye shadow, so why not have a look that is…well…a rainbow?

So, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Be prepared for Rainbow Eyes! This is the most colorful makeup look I’ve ever done. And you’ll get to see how I did it here.

Buckle up, because this is going to be fun.
