Let us start with the eyes. I always start any makeup look with the eyes because there may be fallout from your eyeshadow; it is much easier to just brush off or wipe away fallout before you have any other makeup on so that you do not remove your face makeup. Before even applying any eyeshadow though, I always apply an eyeliner sealer first.
1. Apply an eyeliner sealer. An eyeliner sealer acts as an eye primer, but it does even more. An eyeliner sealer can be applied over eyeliner to help reduce smudging; it can be mixed with any eyeshadow to turn it into an eyeliner; it can make poorly pigmented eyeshadows very pigmented, and it can even be used to adhere glitter to the eyes without having to worry about it falling off.
2. Apply eyeshadow. I used two shades from the 3W Clinic Eyeshadow Palette. This palette comes with nine different eyeshadows and three blushers in one palette. I love this eye palette, so you will see it in a lot of my makeup tutorials 😋. The shades I applied to my eyes in this makeup tutorial have stars on them. I first applied the lighter pink shade, which is supposed to be one of the blushers, but it is too light as a blush on my tan skin, so instead, I used it as a base shadow when wearing pink eyeshadow. After applying this color as my base, I then put the glittery dark pink shade on top of it.
3. Tightline your eyes with black eyeliner. For a more natural makeup look, do not apply the liner to the inner corner of the lower lash line. The liner that I used for this makeup tutorial is the Lakme Kajal liner in black. Make sure that you smudge-proof your liner if you want to prevent it from smudging for many hours. I created a blog post on how to smudge-proof your makeup here: 4 Ways To Smudge-Proof Your Eyeliner.
4. Apply mascara. I only applied mascara to my upper lashes. I have very sensitive eyes, so I find that I can not use drugstore mascaras,. However, after hunting down mascaras for years, I finally found a mascara brand that does not irritate my eyes at all: the herbal Palladio mascaras. I have bought every one of their black mascaras and I love them, so I highly recommend them for people who have sensitive eyes, or people who can not find a mascara that agrees with their eyes. The Palladio mascara that I used for this makeup look gave me amazing length! I used the Palladio Lash Obsessed Mascara.
5. Draw in your brows. Everyone is picky and prefers different looks when it comes to their eyebrows. I personally like very dark, bold, thick brows, so I used my Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in Black to fill in my brows. I also often fill in my eyebrows with an herbal kajal eyeliner like this Lakme one here. You can find various herbal kajal eyeliners here in my store.
6. Apply under eye concealer. You can also use a lighter foundation to conceal darkness underneath the eyes if under eye concealers dry this area out or cause your makeup to move around. The foundation that I used for this makeup look underneath my eyes was the Revlon Colorstay Whipped 24 Hrs Cream Foundation in the shade 370 Natural Tan.
7. Apply foundation. I used a foundation that I love: The Nuance Salma Hayek Flawless Finish Liquid Foundation in the shade 285 Medium/Deep Warm. I can wear this foundation without applying any powder to set it; it dries fast, the coverage is really good, and it does not settle into my dry spots or laugh lines. I do not understand why people do not talk about this foundation more, but it is definitely an excellent foundation and I highly recommend it.
8. Apply concealer to the areas you want a bit more coverage for. I like to spot conceal, so I apply one of my absolute favorite products of all time, the Jane Iredale Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream in BB#11. I have not been able to find any product to replace this one. The coverage is so amazing. I have even been able to cover a spider bite that turned very dark with this BB cream; that is how good the coverage is. Although I have bought many concealers over the years, none of the ones I own can top this one still.
9. Lastly, apply lipstick. The lipstick I chose for this makeup tutorial is a beautiful summer, spring, light pink color: it is the Burt’s Bees Lipstick in 515 Tulip Tide. I love this lipstick. It is such a pretty pink; it even goes well with my brown skin tone. This lipstick has no smell, and it has a very moisturizing formula made from mineral pigments.
