So, let’s pay goodbye to the summer months with an ode to nature! Follow the steps to create that watermelon-inspired look:
Before you begin, make sure your eye area is properly hydrated. A dry skin can lead to patches once the makeup is applied. Use an under eye cream and make sure the skin around the eyes is moisturized. Then, take a full coverage concealer and conceal the dark circles, if you have any. This step will help to create a flawless base for the eye makeup. Set the concealer with a compact powder to prevent creasing of the product.
Then, apply your favorite eyeshadow base or eye primer to make your eyeshadows appear vibrant and last longer. Then, apply a matte soft pink eyeshadow to the crease area of your eyes and start defining your eyes. This color will act as a transition color in the eye makeup and also offer a smokey look to the eyes.
Then, pick a bright reddish pink matte eyeshadow to the rest of your eyelid area. Gently pat the eyeshadow with a flat eyeshadow brush. Then, take a fluffy eyeshadow brush and soften the edges of the eye makeup, blend the soft pink applied in the previous step with the matte reddish pink eyeshadow for a soft transition of colors like a watermelon.
Then, apply a soft pinkish creamy base to the innermost corner and the one third areas of your eyes as shown in the picture.
Then, use your finger to softly blend the creamy base uniformly. Apply a soft white eyeshadow over the creamy base to highlight your eyes. Setting a powder eyeshadow over the cream base will also prevent creasing of the eye makeup. The white eyeshadow applied can be in a matte or a shimmery finish according to your preference. As I wanted to create a soft highlighted effect to the eye makeup, I picked a soft shimmery eyeshadow.
Then, apply a deep green eye pencil to the waterline and lower lash line area of your eyes to reflect the outer skin color of watermelon.
Then, reapply the reddish pink matte eyeshadow to the outermost corner of the eye area as it might have faded slightly because of the blending. Then, apply a deep green eyeshadow over the green eyeliner in the lower lash line to offer a soft smokey look to the eyes. Line your eyes thinly or thickly according to your choice, here I have created a soft winged eyeliner look. You can stop the eye makeup right here if you wish. Or you can take it a little further. If you are feeling particularly adventurous, apply small dots to the outermost corner of the eyes to reflect the watermelon seeds. To draw the watermelon seeds, create soft smaller dots and elongated circles irregularly on the upper lash line and the outermost corner of your eyes. It is better to use a thin and fine brush for this step to draw desired shapes easily.
Then, curl your eyelashes and apply lots of mascara to create illusion of thicker eyelashes.
Flashy and sporty—that’s what this look signifies! Perfect for evening parties and night out with friends, this eye makeup will surely woo the crowd.
