Happy Chinese New Year FOTD+Tutorial

Happy Chinese New Year!!! Xinnian Kuaile!!!  It's the year of the Rabbit.  This is a golden look because that's the color that comes to mind when I think of Chinese New Year.  Gold symbolizes wealth.  

Products used (L to R): 
Giovi eyeshadow palette
WetnWild Color Icon palette in Lust 
Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Stain in Touch of Toffee
Rimmel Eyeful crayon in Flaunt
L'Oreal eyeliner in Brown Suede
WetnWild Color Icon single in Nutty
Maybelline Eyestudio in Purple Possibilities
NYC Blushable Creme Stick in Mauvin' Uptown
Physician's Formula Organic Wear mascara


1. Use cream eyeshadow as a base on the entire eyelid.  This will help make the color pop and stay on longer.  

2. Use the yellow color in the Giovi palette on 3/4 of the lid.

3. Use the pink color in the Giovi palette on the rest of the lid.  Blend! Blend! Blend!

4. Use the WetnWild eyeshadow single Nutty on the crease.  Blend! Blend! Blend!
5. Use the Rimmel eyeliner to line the top and bottom lid.
6. Use the L'Oreal eyeliner on the outer parts of the upper and lower eyelids

7. Use the color in the WetnWild Lust palette on the brow bone.  Blend it into the eyeshadows.
8. Curl eyelashes and use your favorite mascara.

Ta Da! 
I used NYC blushable creme stick on my cheeks and the Maybelline lip stain on the lips.  You can use a darker lip color to make the look more dramatic.  I did this in the day and my relatives are over, so I opted for a more natural look.
