This easy, make your eyes pop, multichrome makeup look takes only five minutes to put together. Here’s what you’ll need to recreate at home in case you don’t have the exact same items I do:

  • a clear brow gel
  • an eyeshadow primer
  • a light multichrome eyeshadow
  • a golden green eyeliner pencil or eyeshadow
  • a mascara
  • a foundation
  • a cool toned light pink iridescent blush
  • a multichrome highlighter
  • a loose setting powder
  • a pink beige lip pencil
  • a pink beige lipstick or lip gloss
  • a setting spray

Many of my past tutorials use generic color terms in addition to listing specific products so that you can shop your makeup stash for similar shades to play with. And while my specific makeup tastes might not match yours, they can inspire you to be creative with your own unique style.

I prefer the YouTube Short I created of the fast five minute face tutorial over the IG Reel, as I believe I did a better job with how I edited the short. Getting better every day with practice!

Girlcult Sinensis #61 Eyeshadow Quad Mini Review

Girlcult Sinensis was used to create this fast five minute face makeup by Cordelia Frost

I adore GirlCult Sinensis! If you love multichromes, this eyeshadow quad doesn’t disappoint! All four shades are beautiful. I used shade one in the video tutorial. The Girlcult eyeshadow quads are made from sturdy plastic and are very beautiful. Their compact size makes them perfect for miniscule makeup bags.

LYS LN1 Triple Fix Blurring and Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation Stick Mini Review

If you love blurring, hydrating stick foundations for dry sensitive skin, you’ll love LYS Triple Fix Blurring and Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation Stick. It’s my favorite foundation! I love stick foundations, especially ones like this that are meant to be applied with fingertips to blend seamlessly with your skin.

I talk more about this foundation in my best makeup for travel article.

Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil Mini Review

Urban Decay Reflect is one of those 24/7 pencils that I bought two backups of because I love the unique color.  It makes my blue-green eyes pop!

Fenty Blaz’d Donut Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick Mini Review

Fenty Blaz’d Donut is the perfect sort of glossy pink beige MLBB on me. I waited forever to try this formula and I don’t know why because it feels wonderful and looks great on. If you are very fair skinned and most ‘nudes’ turn orange on you, try Blaz’d Donut.

Check out more in my best nude lipsticks for very fair neutral cool skin.

Em Cosmetics Heaven’s Glow Blushes Mini Review

Heaven’s Glow blushes have the most beautiful finish and glow! I’m wearing Seraph (bright pink with lilac iridescence) and also own Baroque (soft neutral beige with pearlescent champagne iridescence). These give me the most gorgeous glow! The entire shade range runs very warm but I can wear these two hues.

Curious about Baroque? See how I look wearing Baroque in my R.E.M. Beauty Starlet Liquid Eyeshadow Review.

Quick Social Media Note

I’m not on social media much these days and took social media off my phone. Instead, I’m spending the time I used to spend doom scrolling on reading books. Kindle app says I’ve read 39 books in 2025, but I’ve actually read far more than that, since many of those ‘books’ were 6 to 10 books within one digital book.

What I’ve Been Reading:

  • Eternal Night Shift Series by Lena Nazarei
  • Magiford Supernatural City by K.M. Shea
  • A Vampire’s Guide to Gardening by Shari L. Tapscott
  • This Alien Earth by Paul Antony Jones
  • Blood Magic by J.T. Lawrence
  • Waifs and Strays by Helen Harper
  • Shadow Magic by Melissa Delport
  • Throne of Glass Sarah J. Maas
  • The Stars are Dying by Chloe C. Penaranda
  • Darkstone Academy by Bliss Devlin
  • The Nevermore Murder Club and Smutty Book Coven by Steffanie Holmes
  • The Empyrean Books by Rebecca Yarros
  • A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
  • The Golden Wolf by Shannon Mayer
  • The Shadow Bound Queen by Eliza Raine

And some other smutty books that were so poorly written I’m not going to mention. I prefer long book series. Still searching for high quality sci fi that I haven’t read before that is overall positive. I found myself wanting to read something similar to the Rowan by Anne McCaffrey, but haven’t been able to discover a new series yet. And I’m always open to new urban fantasy with vampires, faeries, witches, and werewolves.

Some of my favorite authors include:

  • Seanan McGuire (especially the October Daye series and Incryptid series, her Mira Grant work is great too)
  • Yasmine Galenorn (The Otherworld Series is my favorite)
  • Laurell K Hamilton (Anita Blake, of course, but Merry Gentry was fun too)
  • Hailey Edwards
  • Kim Harrison
  • Patricia Briggs
  • K. F. Breene
  • Lindsay Buroker (Legacy of Magic)
  • Jacqueline Carey
  • Melissa Marr
  • Jim Butcher

Final Thoughts

Multichrome Makeup Look by Cordelia Frost

My 17 year blog anniversary is tomorrow and it’s been on my mind a lot recently. It’s amazing how far I’ve come and how much I’ve accomplished over the past two decades with my blog thanks to your love and support. From publishing the book Hooded Eyes Makeup Manual to backstage at New York Fashion Week to Cosmoprof in Vegas to IMATS LA, and the Makeup Show, I’ve met so many people and done so many things. I’m so grateful for all the opportunities that I’ve had and the people I’ve met.

I have more Girlcult coming up soon. Are there specific looks, brands, or tutorials you’d like to see from me? Let me know!
