Now that we’re going ‘back into the world,’ I wanted to create a makeup look that married the minimalist makeup I was wearing in quarantine with a few maximalist details to make it pop. This was my first time using the legendary Urban Decay Cosmetics Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion and I'm a fan. It made the brand’s 24/7 Moon Dust Eyeshadow in Space Cowboy shine that much more and worked perfectly with my graphic liner. Since the emphasis was on my eyes, I wanted to make them look even bigger by applying the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liner Stick in Pure White. I’m not really into stick eyeliner because it can be a pain to get a precise line and saturated color, but this gel-like formula swiped easily onto my waterline.
This was also my first time using a mascara primer and the Lancôme CILS Booster XL Vitamin-Infused Lash Thickening Mascara Primer was a game-changer. It took my favorite mascara — Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara — to new heights, quite literally. I finished this look off with gemstones in the corner of my eyes and two swipes of NYX Professional Makeup Lingerie XXL in Flaunt It for a pulled-together pout.

My inspiration for this look was a glamorous alien that just landed on earth...which is sort of how I feel socializing nowadays. I went for a slick, glossy green wing using the Urban Decay Cosmetics 24/7 Eyeshadow in Freak on top of the Urban Decay Cosmetics Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I drew the green shadow on in a winged shape with a tiny eyeliner brush, then filled it in using patting motions and a flat shadow brush. I then highlighted my inner corners with the Urban Decay Cosmetics 24/7 Moondust Eyeshadow in Space Cowboy. For an otherworldly sheen, I swiped the Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Marshmallow Electro, a sparkling sheer gloss, all over my lids using my finger. And because I can never resist a little more color, I added the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liner Stick in Periwinkle Pop, a shimmery lavender, along my waterline. I kept the rest of the look neutral and glowy with black mascara and the Maybelline New York Cheek Heat in Rose Vibrant tapped onto the apples of my cheeks.

I’m a minimalist when it comes to makeup, so I’ve never usually been one to wear bright colors. But since heading back out into the world felt like a momentous occasion, I decided to go all out and wear the boldest eyeliner I could find. Using the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liner Stick in Blue Trip, I drew a line across my lids, starting at the outer corner and working my way in. I had to take a step back to admire just how much it made my blue eyes POP. Then, I grabbed the same liner in the shade Emerald Cut and traced just above the original line to create a dual-toned look. To really draw attention to the colored liner, I didn’t apply any eyeshadow. I did, however, swipe a few coats of the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara in Cobalt Blue onto my lashes to really amp up the blue vibes. I dabbed a bit of the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer underneath my eyes to cancel out my dark circles and then locked it in with the Dermablend Professional Loose Setting Powder.
