Neutrals are your best bet when just starting out with makeup.
This 28 neutral eye shadow palette (which I used) by Morphe is awesome and a great still for just $10
Neutrals not only go with any outfit but are a great starting point to
almost every look you are trying to achieve .
Like always your going to want to apply a primer it provides a
sticky base on which your eye shadows will lay on top of and last all night long.
In this particular look i used Two Faced Shadow Insurance
but E.L.F's $1 eye primer is ideal for starters and people on a budget.
Believe it our not you only need two colors to achieve this simple look
Using your flat shader brush your going to want to chose a color that is about a shade lighter
than your natural skin tone this not only brightens up the look a bit but covers
up all imperfections for your lid such as veins and any redness.
Make sure to apply this color from your lash line all the way up to your brow bone.
This brush is from Sonia Kashuks 5-piece set retailing at about $14.99
Now using a tapered blending brush your going to want to create some depth.
Try to chose a brown shadow, preferably two shades darker than your natural skin tone.
You want to concentrate this color on your crease or socket of the eye to create more dimension.
Since were going for a more natural look its best to keep the look soft and not add to much color.
I did however add just a tiny bit more to the outer V of my eye. Once you've blended the colors together your done! Simple enough?
(excuse my haggard eyebrows)
I feel that this look is beyond easy and simple.
Its perfect for those lazy days when you really don't want to spend forever and a day getting ready.
but you know you have to do SOMETHING so you don't scare your friends and coworkers away
Hope you all enjoyed!
let me know if there's anything else you'd like see or have questions about!
XOXO
