Makeup tutorial I’ve
used a mix of products and brands of which some are limited edition and
not available anymore, but that doesn’t matter. The tutorial is meant
to be a guide line and you can easily swap the products I’ve used for
something similar to get the exact same look. Everything I’ve used is
something I’m guessing most people already have in their makeup bag, or
should anyway ;) I’ll add a little list of recommended products in the
end – hope you like it :)
1. Start by applying an eyeshadow primer
all over the lid, this will ensure your eyeshadow will stay put all day
and avoid the dreaded zebra look. My favourite is this one. Wash over a
nude eyeshadow to create a good base for further application using a
big fluffy brush. I’ve used Mac Brule.
2. Blend in a light brown shadow in the outer corner creating a backward C as shown below. I’ve used Mac Cork.
3. Apply a light peachy pink shimmery
shadow to the rest of the lid. When working with shimmer shadows it
makes more sense to dab it on with your finger as they can be quite
tricky to apply with a brush. I’ve used the second shade from the left
in this palette from Chanel, Urban Decay Scratch is a great dupe.
4. Again using a finger, dab on a light
shimmer shadow to the inner corner of the eye. This will brighten the
eyes and works particularly brilliant for tired eyes in the morning.
I’ve used the first shade to the leftin this palette from Chanel, Urban Decay Virgin is a great dupe.
5. Line the upper lash line and the
outer part of the lower lash line with a brown liner. A brown liner
creates a softer look which is better for daytime than when using a
black liner.
.. and apply mascara!
.. or if you’re looking to make it into more of an evening look, add a bit of shimmery black shadow to the outer corner where you’ve applied the light brown shade. I’ve used the shade to the right in this palette from Chanel. Gunmetal from Urban Decay would work well as a dupe.
Face:
I’ve used a light weight foundation with
medium coverage in the areas where I feel it’s needed, and I’ve left
the skin bare where I don’t feel I need any coverage. This gives a more
natural look. After foundation I’ve lightly dusted some matting powder
all over the face, and applied a light pink blush to the cheeks and a
bit of contouring under the cheekbones and along the jaw line. To give a
healthy sheen I finished off with a highlighter on top of the cheek
bones. I like to keep my lips nude in the daytime so I lined them up
with a nude lipliner, followed by a neutral lip balm.
