The NYX Eye Paints Make Creating Colorful Eyeshadow Looks So Simple

Being that summer is right around the corner, I’ve found myself playing with colors a lot more. That’s why I was so excited to get my hands on the new Ultimate Eye Paints from NYX. I felt myself instantly drawn to two colors — Exist Fabulously and Rule Breaker.
I started the look by going in with Rule Breaker. I applied a small amount of the Eye Paint to the back of my hand then used a fluffy brush to blend it across my lids and into the crease. The product was really easy to work with and blended throughout my crease like a dream. To make it really pop, I added another layer and set it with a coral shade from the NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette. It was surprisingly easy to add more layers of the product to make the color more vibrant. Once I was happy with the shape of the look, I grabbed an angled liner brush and applied a small wing with Exist Fabulously. To make the look a bit more fun, I added a small line to the inner third of my crease and added the same teal shade to my waterline. I finished up the look by blending Rule Breaker under my eyes to give it a blown-out effect. After a touch of black liner to my lash line and mascara, my colorblocked look for summer was finally done!

Calling All Allies, a pastel periwinkle shade, may be miles outside of my comfort zone, but the creamy, easy-to-blend formula made it a dream to play with. I decided to go for a simple but retro look by patting the color all over my lid with a flat synthetic brush, then blending it out in my crease with my finger. For extra drama, I added a wing and false eyelashes.
These paints are ultra-pigmented and give you a bit of blending time before they dry, but once they’re on, you can trust them not to crease, fade or smudge.
