Eyeshadow Tutorial: Mauve/ Lilac Soft Smokey Look

Lilac smokey look using Inglot Eyeshades

Step 1

Always use a base primer to intensify the color of the eyeshadow

After priming your lids with an eyeshadow primer, apply a white base color over the entire lid area and blend out well.(Click here to learn why it's important to use a primer and base before applying your eyeshadow)

Step 2

Using a lilac shade eyeshadow, apply it to the inner 3rd of your eyelid. I used Inglots DS493 for the inner 3rd. Now take a bluish/purple shade eyeshadow and apply it to the outer 3rd of your eyelid. For this look, I used Inglots DS 491. 

You will notice that there is a defined line(marked with an arrow) where these 2 colors meet. Take a flat shader brush like the one used in the next picture and gently pat onto this line until you see the 2 colors blending into each other.

Step 3

Pat in the lightest shade onto inner 3rd

Now for the inner 3rd of your eyes, use any mauve shade of shadow that is the lightest of all 3 colors. I used Inglots DS 492. Pat into place and blend out any harsh lines as explained in Step 2. 

Step 4

Create a smokey effect to the intensity of your choice

Using more purple, blend the outer 3rd of the eyeshadow, bringing the color on onto the crease line as far in as you want to. Blend, blend, blend using a windshield wiper movement so the color starts fading upward towards the eyebrow. To further intensify the smokey effect, you could add a bit of black eyeshadow when blending out the outer 3rd.

Step 5+6

Using a highlighter of your choice, highlight the brow bone and blend out any hard lines. I used Coloressence's EP15 from their EP1 8 shadow Pearl palette.

Line your lash line. Used here is the Bourjois Ultra Black felt-tip liner. Line your lower lash line with black kohl pencil.

Step 6

Final Look

Apply your mascara to upper and lower lashes. I used The Body Shops define n Lengthen mascara.

Eyeshadow Tutorial: Creative Green & Brown Look

It's amazing how certain colors when paired together look absolutely stunning, yet when on the palette, you would never even dream of having them share a common space. Bottle green and dark browns are 2 such colors. But in this look, they complement each other so well...you'd think that they are a marriage made in heaven. It's no wonder, the artist(Molly A) has aptly named it the look 'Fairy Tale'

Eyeshadow Tutorial: Green & Brown Look

Makeup doesn't have to involve many colors in order to look stunning. Simple also makes statements. To create this look, I used just 2 colors apart from the highlight color.
*Priming and a base is as important as breathing when it comes to makeup.
*For the lid color, I used Mac's Sumtious Olive over NYX jumbo pencil in Horse Raddish.
*For the crease color, I used Kryolan's Brown and simply blended the 2 colors.
*For the brow bone I used Mac's Vanilla pigment.

As much as I love bold looks, I was pleasantly surprised how good this look turned out to be. I guess the saying: Less is more, definitely has some truth in it!

Eyeshadow Tutorial: Shimmery Cut Crease Using Coloressence Shimmer Powder

I had seen a look similar to this without the cut crease and totally loved the way the shimmer was used on the inner half of the eyelid. The star product here is the Coloressence Shimmer powder as I wanted to show you an alternate way that you could use it apart from just on the inner corner of your eye or over another color. Here I used it on its own with no base color- just a base pencil for something to hold it in place. On further experimentation, I added the cut crease and realized that the look was further enhanced and was extremely pleased with the outcome. Hope you will enjoy it too.

I anticipated a lot of fallout from the shimmer, therefore I decided to do the foundation/ concealer bit 
after I finished off with the eyes.

Eyeshadow Tutorial: Cut Crease Step by Step Picture Tutorial

Source: fashionisers.com

For weeks I have been trying to locate a good step by step tutorial to show you how to create a cut crease eyeshadow look. I myself have not quite yet perfected the technique and my camera is crap at taking out decent close up pictures. Imagine my excitement when I came across not just an excellent tutorial at www.fashionisers.com but the pictures are also perfectly clicked and the steps so simple and easy, it would inspire anyone to want to pull out their makeup and start practicing.


How to Create a Gradient Blue Cut Crease Eye Makeup Look

For the hot gradient blue cut crease eye makeup, you’ll need:

• Foundation

• a brow kit to fill in your eyebrows

• an eyeshadow base

• a white matte eyeshadow

• three hues of a blue eyeshadow (light blue, medium and a dark one)

• a black eyeliner

• a matte black eyeshadow to create the crease

• a brown eyeshadow

• mascara

• false eyelashes

• a lip gloss

• makeup brushes

So as you have all the necessary products, let’s start with our makeup application steps!

Step 1: Make sure you have a clean, fresh face in order to create a flawless base for your makeup. 

Apply a toner to your face and a moisturizer. The latter step can be omitted, if you have oily skin. Now, apply a foundation primer for a long-lasting effect. Pick the best foundation for your skin tone and type and apply it all over your face with a makeup brush, a sponge or with your fingers. If you have some blemishes to conceal, turn to the concealer. Finally, contour your face with your favorite blush color and a highlighter.

Step 2: As you are done with your skin, move on to the most complicated part of the gradient blue cut crease eye makeup look: the eyes. For well-emphasized and beautiful eyes, it’s important to pay attention to the shape of your eyebrows too. If you don’t have the perfect shape, create one by lining the arch with a brown gel liner and then filling in your eyebrows with a brow shadow.

Step 3: In order to prevent eyeshadow from creasing, apply an eyeshadow base all over the eyelids. Then to create the base for your eye makeup, put white matte eyeshadow on your lids and right under the brows.

Step 4: Apply your eyeshadow, starting with the lighter blue tone (Sleek Palette Colour Chill), which should be used in the middle of your lid. Next to it put the slightly darker blue tone (Inglot 371) and then the darkest one (Sleek Palette Colour Bolt).

Step 5: Apply the black eyeliner for a more defined eye makeup. Make sure to apply it, according to your eye shape, since the same line won’t flatter everyone (Learn How to Apply Eyeliner According to Your Eye Shape). You may add some more blue tone at the end of the line drawn.

Step 6: Using the matte black eyeshadow, draw a fake crease above your natural crease line. We have used Inglot 63 matte eyeshadow here. For a more intense and dramatic look, you can apply a black gel liner over the crease line drawn. Blend the line with a brown eyeshadow, creating a flawless look. Afterwards, add more black eyeshadow in the same place.

Step 7: Highlight your lower lash line with the medium blue eye shadow (Inglot 371). Then apply a few coats of black mascara, and false eyelashes for a more dramatic result.

Step 8: Since your eyes are already bold and well-emphasized, leave your lips natural. Apply a delicate pink lip gloss (Sweet Crème by Eveline) and you are ready to go!
