You don't need Vincent van Gogh's painting skills to create the this season's watercolour eye makeup trend, but you should have an affinity for swirls of pastel. For the best effect, Rivera says you should apply your shimmer or duo-chrome shadows first (which he did with the glittery yellow shade, alternating that with the pink-and-yellow chrome on the inner creases), then layer matte shadows on top.
Rivera applied a wash of the matte peach colour (on the top left section of the palette) across the entire lids with a blending brush, followed by the darker shade of pink to the innermost corners of the eyes, up and through the creases. He then highlighted the inner third of the lids and brow bones with the matte yellow hue using a concealer brush and pressed the yellow shimmer shade to the inner corners using a bullet brush.
To finish off the look, Rivera suggests you highlight the high planes of the cheekbones using the duo-chrome shadow to "create contrast and further spotlight the eye look."
