Step 1 – Prep Your Skin and Eyes for Long-Lasting Wear

For makeup pre, start with clean, moisturized skin to give your makeup the perfect canvas. Apply Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating  to boost skin hydration and grip foundation. For the eyes, don’t skip the Pure Canvas Eye Primer —it’s essential for a long-lasting eye makeup look, especially when working with bold shades like pinks and shimmers. Using an eye primer for eyeshadow ensures your colors pop and prevents any creasing throughout the day.

Step 2 – Build a Soft Radiant Base

To let your Hello Kitty eyes shine, keep your complexion fresh and radiant. Use a lightweight foundation like the Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30 for breathable natural coverage, or go for the Real Flawless Foundation  if you want a bit more coverage still with a radiant base.

The key here is balance—your complexion should glow without overpowering the eyes.

Step 3 – Create the Hello Kitty Pink Eyeshadow Base

Now for the fun part! Sweep the RoseGlow Caviar Stick Eye Color in a soft pink shade like Wild Rose across the lids. For extra sparkle and more pink, layer the shade Strike A Rose on top or in the outer corner of the eye. Blend softly into the crease for a diffused, wide-eyed effect.

This pink eyeshadow look gives off a true kawaii eyeshadow vibe that’s wearable and whimsical. For added flexibility, explore the full range of Caviar Sticks to customize your tones.

Step 4 – Define the Eyes with Playful Liner

To channel that signature Hello Kitty eye makeup look, define your eyes with a soft shimmer or bold line. Use Caviar Stick Eye Shadow in Moonlight (a metallic pewter) along the lash line for subtle definition, or go classic and bold with a winged eyeliner or playful 'kitten flick' using a dark liner.

This is where your playful eye makeup comes to life—perfect for experimenting with bold eyeliner looks and kawaii eyeliner styles.

Step 5 – Add Cute Accents & Brighten the Eyes

Use a shimmery eye accent in the inner corners to create a soft, eye-opening effect. This kind of inner corner highlight instantly makes your eyes look brighter and more awake. Sweep a touch of highlighter under the brow bone to finish off the eye brightening makeup.

Want to go full Hello Kitty cosplay? Add tiny face gems or stickers around the eyes for an extra cute touch.

Step 6 – Frame the Look with Mascara and Brows

Your cute eye makeup isn’t complete without fluttery lashes and softly filled brows. Use the Caviar Extravagant Mascara for volumizing mascara that delivers doll-like definition without clumps.

For the brows, fill in lightly with the Eye Brow Pencil in a shade that looks like your hair to create natural brows that softly frame the face and keep the eyes as the focal point of the look. Finish with a sweep of Blush Color Infusion in Bellini, a peachy-pink that complements the entire look.

Step 7 – Lock in the Playful Glow

Seal your look with a dusting of Translucent Talc Free Loose Setting Powder – Ultra Blur on the T-zone and under the eyes. This setting powder helps prevent creasing and keeps your makeup fresh without dulling your natural glow.

Top it off with the Translucent Hydrating Setting Spray for all-day hold that feels weightless—your long-lasting makeup won’t budge, no matter how playful your day gets.
