Get the Look: X-Factor’s Charlie - Rainbow Bright Eyes!

Pics of Charlie from MK1 were all over Facebook and Twitter following Saturday night’s second live X-Factor show.  We loved her rainbow bright eyes and thought she looked incredibly pretty, so of course, scoured the shelves to see what we could come up with to recreate the look.

 

Here’s our step by step guide on how to get Charlie’s look!

1. A primer is essential when using this amount of colour. Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper is the best we’ve tried for maximum colour payoff & lasting power.

2.3.   

4.    5.

 

2+3. Add Lime Crime Aquataenia in vertical rainbow stripes like Charlie’s, or your own design of choice.  Apply it wet for extra drama & a shimmery finish!

4. Balance out the colour on your lower lashline with Neve Pastello in Teal, using the same colour to add definition to your socket line.

5. Complete the look with Lime Crime Centrifuchsia Lipstick

This is the kind of result you can expect with the Lime Crime Aquataenia, a slightly softer version of Charlie’s look! 

If you’re feeling extra bold, you could go for even brighter tones with Italian brand, Neve’s Intensissimi Palette.
