Colorful Floral Eye Makeup Is the Trend to Try This Summer

There’s something about flower-inspired eye makeup that has us feeling’ some type of way. That’s why when we saw this flower-embellished look created by @frankiepdarling on Instagram, we knew we had to give it a try ourselves. It’s the perfect blend of two trends — colorful eye makeup and precise floral designs and we want to wear it all summer-long. Learn how to recreate the look, ahead.

STEP 1: Apply Your Shadow Base

To begin the look, blend Switch, an electric orange shade, from the Urban Decay Wired Palette into the crease. Then apply Slowburn, a red-orange hue, all over the lid. Make sure to concentrate the color at the top of your lid (near your upper lash line) and softly diffuse it into Switch when you reach the crease.
STEP 2: Create Your Sunset

Use Jolt on the outer corner and drag it up to the brow bone with a fluffy brush. Next, blend Shock, a neon lilac, onto the inner upper third of the eye. To avoid a muddy look, don’t over blend the shadows together.

STEP 3: Add Your Petals

Using the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liquid Liner in White, create your flower petals. Pro tip: Do this by drawing three separate heart shapes in a circular motion. All of the hearts will meet at their points in the center.
STEP 4: Complete the Look

After your white liner dries, apply a circle in the middle using the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liquid Liner in Yellow. Shade the lower lash line with Shock using a small tapered brush from the inner corner to the center of your lash line. With the same brush, pick up Chaos from the Wired Palette and line the eye starting at the center lower lash line to the outer lower lash line. To finish the look, line the waterline with the NYX Professional Makeup Slide On Pencil in Pure White and add a coat of mascara or falsies.
