The watercolor trend doesn't get easier than a two-tone lid. Warm colors, like the appropriately-named Heat and Solar shades from the 18 Hit Wonders Eyeshadow Palette ($14), are perfect for achieving this abstract and organic look. Skip the brushes and simply use your fingers to sweep the shadow across your lids. Dip one finger into Solar and place it along the top lid, tapping and blending out from the crease, up toward the brow bone. With your pinky finger, apply Heat in the inner corner and the lower lash line. Take it a step further with a base layer of the Matte Putty Primer ($8) — it will amplify the shadows while ensuring all-day wear, even in the summer heat.
