Step-by-Step Guide
Before we begin, make sure to have the following products:
- Eye primer
- Neutral eyeshadow palette
- Black or brown mascara
- Eye pencil in a natural shade
- Makeup brushes
Step 1: Prep the eyelids
Apply an eye primer to the eyelids to help the eyeshadow stay in place and prevent creasing. Use your ring finger to gently blend the primer.
Step 2: Apply a neutral base
Using a neutral eyeshadow shade, apply it all over the eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush. This will create a base for the rest of the eyeshadow.
Step 3: Add depth to the crease
Using a matte eyeshadow shade that is a few shades darker than your skin tone, apply it to the crease of the eyelid using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. This will add depth to the eyes and create a natural-looking shadow.
Step 4: Define the eyes with eyeliner
Using an eye pencil in a natural shade, define the upper lash line by applying it as close to the lashes as possible. This will make the lashes appear fuller and thicker.
Step 5: Apply mascara
Finish off the look by applying black or brown mascara to the upper and lower lashes. Wriggle the wand from the base of the lashes to the tip to create volume.
Expert Tips
When creating a natural eye makeup look, it’s important to choose shades that complement your skin tone and eye color. Stick to neutral shades like taupe, beige, and brown for a subtle effect. – Makeup artist, Jane Smith
