Shaaanxo Rainbow Inspired Makeup Look!

Welcome back to my blog! Today I've got a Rainbow makeup tutorial inspired by the look Shaaanxo did in one of her recent videos. 
For this look she had quite a big wing which I didn't do because for one I'm not the best at winged eyeliner and I though a smaller one suited me better. 
Also, I didn't have the Urban Decay palette she used so I created this look with my e.l.f cosmetics 144 eye shadow palette which I might do a review on. 

So lets get into it.
First
My first step was applying my Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation and my MAC prolong wear concealer to high light and then just setting that in place with my elf under eye setting powder and Rimmel stay matter transparent powder.
I also contoured with Hoola, Highlighted with MAC soft and gentle and applied e.l.f studio blush in Peachy Keen.


Second Step
I then put sticky tape at the edge of my eyes so when I applied my shadows it would give them a good shape. I then applied NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk all over the lid so when I apply the shadows they show up extra vibrant. I then grabbed a clean fluffy brush and blended a small amount of Buck from the Naked 1 palette into my crease.

The Palette
This was the palette I used for the look, I am very impressed with this palette but not impressed with how the colors showed up on camera.

Third Step
I then mixed a lime green and a yellow and applied that with a small flat shader brush on the inner third of my eye, inner corner and the inner bottom lash line. Not going above the crease. I packed on the color until I got my desired result.
The colors in the pan didn't show up close to what they actually are!

Fourth Step
I then went in with a electric blue on a large flat shader brush and applied that directly to the middle of my lid not going above the crease. I also packed on this color for desired result. 

Fifth Step
Then with another large shader brush I applied a bright and dark purple to the outer third of my lid. I then slightly blended that through my crease. Also packing on this color for desire result. 

Sixth Step
I then removed the sticky tape. 
Taking the small shader brush taking that color again I blended the lime green and blue together. Then taking the blue on the brush we used and blend the blue into the purple. 
Really take your time blending these together.
After that I took Buck again and blended that onto my bottom lash line.

 Seventh Step
 
Then taking my Maybelline eyeliner I tight lined my top and bottom lash line and smudged out the bottom with my dome smudger brush. Then taking Creep from the Naked 1 palette I applied that to my top lash line with an angled brush and created a small wing.

Step number 8!
Then I applied my Benefit They're Real Mascara and Lashes from Daiso. I previewed these lashes in my last tutorial.


Step 9

For my lips I applied my MUA lipstick in Juicy and then my NYX buttergloss in Eclair.



Here's the final look!
You can defiantly do what she done and do a more dramatic wing. But I preferred a smaller one on myself, completely up to you.



I really hope you enjoyed my recreation of Shaanxo's rainbow makeup tutorial. If you have also recreated this let me know because I'd love to check it out.
