Wet n Wild tutorial - "I Got Good Jeans"

Here is another Wet n Wild tutorial using the "I Got Good Jeans" trio from the 2011 Wet n Wild eyeshadow collection.  The key to this look is blend, blend and blend again!  I really love the soft glow that the gold shade gives and the navy shade really makes a lovely crease color. 



"I Got Good Jeans" palette




Begin by priming your eyes with an eyeshadow primer like Urban Decay's Primer Potion or you can even use a Mac Paintpot or creme stick like NYX eye pencil in "Milk" which is what I chose to use for this look. 

After priming the eyelid pat down the gold color all over the lid and up to the crease.  If you have hooded eyes like myself, go above the crease with the gold color.  Next, take the navy color and blend from the outer corner inward all through the crease until you are 3/4 of the way in.  Stop blending the navy shade inward when you are over the iris of your eye.  Keep blending the navy into the gold and blend the navy above the crease if you have hooded eyes. 

Go back after blending the navy and pat down more gold color over the lid, focusing on the inner corner.  This will help freshen and replenish the color in case there was fallout from the navy shade.  Using the light blue shade, blend it on the very top portion of the navy color-all over the browbone.  For the final two steps take the navy shade again and blend more on the outer corner of the eye. Lastly, take a small amount of the gold shade and place it on the inner corner of the eye.




*Notice the darkest shade is used on the outside corner and the lightest shade is focused on the inside corner of the eye.





Final Look- Rimmel Lasting Finish liquid foundation in "Soft Beige", NARS loose powder in "Flesh", NYC Smooth Skin bronzer in "Sunny", Covergirl Cheekers blush in "Brick Rose", Diorshow mascara, L'oreal Endless lipstick in "In the Buff" and Rimmel Vinyl Bronze lipgloss in "Summer Nude".
