AllAboutTheEyes: Milani Bella Eyeshadow :TWO Looks and a Dupe! CLOSED GIVEAWAY!

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/12733801/?claim=99yxnc26xnb">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

I was pretty excited to create some looks using these shadows! For more information about them check out my previous post:
DealsAndSteals: New At The Drugstore: Review on Milani's Bella Eyeshadows

These are easy looks that anyone can recreate!

Let's start with Bella Caffe and Bella Mandarin.

After priming your eyes using your favorite primer or concealer take Bella Caffe on a fluffy crease brush and sweep it back and forth over your crease in windshield wiper motions all the way from inner to outer corner. 



Now using a flat shader brush or your fingers add Bella Mandarin onto your lid. Use patting motions to build the color up until you like how it looks.




I LOVE the peachyness of this color. It's so fresh and makes your eyes look awake and its just so perfect for summer.
Add mascara and a highlight color to your brownbone and you are done! SUCH an easy pretty look that can be done super quick.




Now this second look is a bit more fun!


I'm going to be using Bella Rouge and Bella Copper for this one. After priming your eyes use your favorite transition shade in your crease for easier blending and added definition. I used Soft Brown by Mac.
Next, using a flat shader brush apply Bella Copper all over your lids and into your inner corners. 




Now using a small fluffy brush add Bella Rouge into the outer corners of your eyes and blend blend blend. Continue building up the color until you like the results. Then take the same color underneath your eyes and blend that as well. This will give the look a bit of an added pop.



Add your favorite black liner to your eyes, as close to the lash line as possible and a nude or white color to your water line. Sometimes when using pinks or purples it can make your eyes look tired or bruised so the liner is very important. The black liner will bring some definition to your eyes and the white or nude will make them look more bright and awake.




Add a highlight shade to your brown bone and your eye look is complete! 
Now I have a little secret for you.
 On my right eye I used Bella Copper but on my left eye I used Mac Amber Lights. 
They are THAT close in color.



Amber Lights is slightly darker in the picture above but I think it was just how the light was hitting it. 
Amber Lights is $14 and Bella Copper is $4.
 I mean....the choice is easy.
 Bella Copper has a bit more shimmer to it but its really nothing dramatic. 
Can you even tell a difference in this picture?



SO since I already have Mac Amber Lights I'm going to give away Bella Copper to one of you!
All you have to do is:
- subscribe or follow my blog so you can keep up on all things beauty.
AND
- leave me a comment telling me YOUR favorite eyeshadow. 

I'll pick a winner on August 12th!


Thanks for reading!

  27. My favorite is probably this dark grey eyeshadow I got from Sephora which is their brand of eyeshadow. I try to keep neutral colors as super bright colors kind of scare me.
