How to create the Lunar Lilac look
Think moonshine shimmers, constellation-inspired lilac tones, and an out-of-this-world shine, and you’ve got the Lunar Lilac look. Sweeping opalescent shades on your lids and on your cheekbones, this look is all about highlighting your favourite features and taking your glow to whole new dimension.
Step 1: Pink base
For the best results, prep your eyelids with the By BEAUTY BAY Eye Base. Follow this with the shade Aurora from our Mini Charms Palette and sweep over the entire lid.
Step 2: Define your lower lash line
To create a more defined shimmer, sweep the shade Ethereal under your lower lash line and blend it out.
Step 3: Highlight your brow bone and inner corner
Taking the hero hue of our palette, Milky Way, highlight the brow bone to create the effect of a lifted brow. Bring this same shade into the inner corner of your eye for an instantly brightened look.
Step 4: Highlight your cheekbone
Using a fluffy brush, sweep the shade Milky Way over your cheekbones for the ultimate cosmic glow.
Step 5: Complete with mascara
Complete your look with 1-2 coats of our By BEAUTY BAY High-Key Volume Mascara and you’re Christmas party ready.
How to create the Iris Eclipse look
If you prefer a sultrier festive vibe, our Iris Eclipse look has been carefully curated with you in mind. Combining luxe purple, cream, and pink shimmers with deep purple, velvet-soft mattes, this striking star-inspired look is the perfect addition to any Christmas plans.
Step 1: Purple base
Using a fluffy eyeshadow brush, take the shade Andromeda and buff over the entire lid, blending out to the brow bone.
Step 2: Add drama to your lid
Blend the shade Cosmos over your lid for a deeper purple finish.
Step 3: Highlight your inner corner and brow bone
For a gentle splash of cosmic colour, buff the shade Crescent into the inner corner of your eye. Next, take the shade Orb and sweep over your brow bone to create a lifted look.
Step 4: Define your lash lines
With a fine tip brush, glide the shade Lyra over the upper lash line and drag it out for a winged effect. For added depth, gently buff the shade Astral into the lower lash line.
Step 5: Apply mascara
To complete the look, take our (yep, you guessed it) By BEAUTY BAY High-Key Mascara for the ultimate drama and definition.
