I love this super versatile look because it's work appropriate and party appropriate. It's got just the right amount of shimmer and depth without being totally overboard for 9 a.m. This makes my blue-green eyes really pop, but I think it would complement practically any eye color and skin color. In fact, if you've got a rich, deep skin tone, I imagine this would be especially great for an easy every day eye look.
Products Used:
Elf Baked Eyeshadow in Toasted ($3) | Elf Baked Eyeshadow in Burnt Plum ($3) | Elf Smudge Pot in Ain't That Sweet ($3)
How To:
1. Apply Toasted all over your lid and slightly up into your crease (I used my pointer finger for this).
You want the most product on your lid and for the color to fade as you get closer to the crease area.
2. Apply Burnt Plum in the outer third of your eye (I used my pinky).
Use short swiping motions to make sure this color blends nicely in with the Toasted color.
3. Apply Ain't That Sweet in your inner corner.
4. Using your pinky, rub a little bit of Burnt Plum along the lower lash line.
5. Add mascara (and liner, if you like) and you're ready to run out the door to work, a holiday party or happy hour.
Not having to use a make-up brush is my favorite. Its like, the only way I can achieve any sort of success with eye shadow. I love these shades, they're so pretty! I probably would never have picked up the one on the right cause it looks so dark but how you've done it here, its so subtle.
ReplyDeleteApplying eyeshadow with your fingers often gives you the most pigment, too! I highly recommend both of these colors (and they're only $3!!!), and I know they'd look awesome on your beautiful peepers.
