Gray: it's the official shade of winter. Gray skies, gray sweaters, gray...people. We dig our neutrals as much as as city dwellers, but once March hits, you've better believe that we are craving color in any form we can get our hands on.

The tree buds may not have started to bloom yet, but that doesn't mean that you can't start rocking spring-worthy makeup shades in every shade of the rainbow. Inspired by Peter Som's spring '13 show, we decided to show you how to create a multi-dimensional monochromatic eye that's modern, fresh, and totally wearable. Tune in to see how we did it, and brighten up — spring is coming, friends!

00:05Hey guys I'm Tara for Finery29 and I'm Bethany. Today we're going to show you how to recreate
00:10the pastel eye that we loved on the Peter Somme Spring Show. To start this look we're
00:15going to create our own custom eyeshadow. So we're going to mix a powder shadow in a green
00:22color with a little clear lip gloss. This is going to give a really modern sheer finish to the eye.
00:31After we've mixed the paste on our hand we can dab it on with our fingers. Depending on your eye
00:38shape
00:38and where your crease falls on your eye make sure you can see it when your eyes are open but
00:44obviously
00:44it shouldn't go all the way up to your eyebrows. You can adjust the wash of the color by adding
00:50a
00:50little more lip gloss if you want it to be more sheer. Once the color is basically on there you
00:56can just dab with a clean finger around the edge just smoothing it out a little bit but don't worry
01:03it doesn't have to be perfect. To give the eye a little more dimension and just a little brightness
01:08we're going to take a slightly lighter shade of shadow and dab it in the center of the eye towards
01:15the lashes right above your pupil if you look straight into the mirror. For the final step
01:20we're just going to add a bit of a monochromatic touch by adding green mascara to the tip of the
01:26eyelashes. We started with a coat of black mascara so this is just a little extra to pump up the
01:32look.
01:34So we've seen a lot of color on the lips in past seasons. Here's an updated way to wear color
01:39on
01:39your face for spring.
