Eye makeup tutorial

So, a lot of people have been asking me how I do my eye makeup lately so I decided to write a little tutorial for how i do it.

First step:

always, always use eyeshadow primer! I use Urban Decay's Eyeshadow primer in Sheer Nude, you can buy it from Sephora for $19 but it's so worth it because I've had mine for almost 5 months and I just ran out!

Anyway, this stuff is amazing! If you have a problem with your eyeshadow creasing this is the cure, I work 8 hour days and my shadow still has not creased when I get home! Definitely a win! Let the Primer dry for a minute before you put on your shadows, I find that works a little better for me.

This is what it looks like:

Step 2:

After you have waited for a minute for the primer to dry, apply your highlight, I use Brule from MAC and it is a creamy white color that works great for the upper lid and the inner eye area. This is what Brule looks like:

3rd Step:

I use MAC cork Eyeshadow for the crease color, I love love this color as a contouring color in the Crease. {Oh by the way for all of the eyeshadows I use MAC brush #217 it's great for blending, and i love it!} It looks a lot lighter in real life...but this is kind of what it looks like...

Step 4...

For the lid I normally use Handwritten by MAC but some days I also use Folie (which is a dark purpely/brownish color) Handwritten is a dark dark chocolately brown. When i apply it to my eye with my #217 Mac brush i just Tap it on, be sure that you always tap off the excess or else it will end up on your cheek all over your foundation. Handwritten looks like this:

Last but not least....

I use Mac Carbon which is a matte black, I have been using this for like 2 years I love it that much! This is the final color so make sure all the other colors are well blended. I put carbon on the outside corner of my eye in a triangle shape. You can always put more for a more smokey look, but for everyday wear i just add a little bit.

I hope this helps,

What is your favorite eyeshadow look?
