simple&easy



This look is absolutely perfect for everyday, but can also be bumped up for night time wear by simply darkening the crease or adding a colored liner. It is also very versatile within its day time look. Depending on your personal preference, you can make this look at light or dark as you desire; use this tutorial as a general guideline of where to place each shadow.

..................................lightest
-...................inner corner
..................................darkest -.................. outer corner
.............................................................................crease
..................................medium/light -.......lid
..................................natural/skin tone - brow bone
..................................highlight -................inner corner
..............................................................................highest point beneath eyebrow


how to get this look

step one:
Prime entire eyelid.
step two:
Line the upper lash line from inner to outer corner with
NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk. Pat line with finger to soften.
step three:
Using an overall shadow or blending brush, apply a light cream
tone over the line of Milk, and blend it upwards into the crease.
Make sure this color does not go much past the crease, if at all.
step four:
Apply a very light brown to the crease with a rounded crease brush.
Make sure to completely blend the shadow into the light cream on
your lid. I also highly suggest bringing this color onto the outer lash line.
step four:
With a small shadow or smudger brush, apply a line
of chocolate brown into the deepest part of your
crease 2/3 of the way into your eye from the outer corner.
step five:
Buff out this line of chocolate brown with either a fluffy brush or
rounded crease brush. Make sure to keep this shadow within
the crease area. It should not cover or pass the light brown you
previously applied to the crease.
step six:
(optional)
Line upper lash line thinly with a dark brown.
step seven:
Mascara and done!



That's all for now. Stay beautiful!
