I hope everyone is having a fantastic new year! I know I am. I just got ahold of a DSLR camera, so I’ve been really excited to share some awesome photos on here! I’d been having a lot of trouble getting clear images of my eyeshadow, and hence the lack of makeup tutorials on here in the past year. My new camera takes amazing photos, so look forward to lots of tutorials this year!
This look is a pretty basic look that you could do every day. It’s completely matte, but you could definitely change the lid color to something sparkly just like I added the sparkly eyeliner!
Foundation
I have a horrible habit of doing my foundation first. Yes, I know you’re supposed to do it after in case you get any fallout, but I knew this a matte look and I wouldn’t have any of that.
Step # 1
Apply UD primer potion! Then, with a blending brush, apply the lightest matte color (M4) just below your brow. With the same brush, go back in with the next darkest color (M3), and apply into the entire crease from the outer corner to the inner corner.
Step # 2
With a different blending brush, apply the medium brown color (M2) to your crease, going about half way from the outer crease to the middle of the crease.
Step # 3
With a tapered blending brush (if you have one, otherwise use the same brush as in step 2), take the darkest brown color (M1) and gently work into the outer third corner of your lid. The work the color up into and slightly above the crease. The brown color should stand out, covering about 1/3 of your lid.
Step # 4
Take Sephora’s Jumbo Liner in Taupe and line the lower lash line. I added this for a little bit of fun. Just because you wear something everyday doesn’t mean it has to be boring! Also, I added a little of the lightest color (M4) in the palette onto the lid here, but feel free to use a satin (or even the taupe liner) if you’d like!
Step # 5
Apply mascara! I used Buxom’s mascara because I like how long and clump free it makes your lashes, but feel free to use whatever you want!
Thank you for reading my tutorial! What steps would you have included? Please feel free to let me know in the comments!
