Go To Autumn/Winter Eyeshadow
Sunday, December 03, 2017
For the last few months, I’ve low
key been quite unmotivated makeup wise. Weirdly, I think it’s just because I’ve
been settling into a new lifestyle and routines with moving to a new city and
having so many aspects of life change. For instance, I used to always wear
makeup to work, whereas now I can’t remember the last time I actually did. I only
really wear makeup if I’m going out out – partially because it all runs out at
the same time and ya girls too skint to buy so much makeup at once.
Despite that, I do still love
makeup and enjoy wearing it more than ever. I like contrasting between simple,
natural looks, bold wings, focusing on my skin and especially eyeshadow looks.
Over the last few months, I’ve found
myself constantly going to the same colours when I want to make a bit more of
an effort but still look pretty casual in terms of eyeshadow.
Even on nights out, this look is
so easy to glam up by adding glitter, liner or fake eyelashes – it really is my
go to eyeshadow, and only consists of 5 shades.
To do this look, I use the Morphe
35O palette and that’s it. Which is even better as I’m able to have a look
using one palette as opposed to tons of different palettes.
The look is quite autumnal and uses
pretty basic colours, but you end up with a pretty, gradient look – not too
bright or dark.
Step 1:
Start off with a primer/concealer
all over your eyelid and set it with a white eyeshadow or translucent power. Depending
on how casual or glam I want the look to be, I might skip this step out if I want
the eyeshadow to look more casual.
Step 2:
Lightly go into your crease and
above with shades 1 and 2. They’re the lighter, orange shades that will help
with the gradient effect that’s happening on the eye lid. I use both shades at
the same time on the same brush and blend them into the crease and above. The colours
are also really buildable so keep applying more product for more pigmented
colour, but keep blending it out as well at the edges.
Step 3:
Next, go into the crease with
shades 3 and 4, again using both colours at the same time with the same brush. It’s
important on this part to not go in too heavy handed or with much shadow at
once as you really want these to blend well with the first orange, transition
colours. I like to build these colours up quite a lot as I really want the red
to show just above the darkest shade that goes all over the lid.
Step 4:
Then you want to get a flat brush
and apply shade 5 all over your lid. As simple as that. I’ll also build this
shade up a lot, but remember to keep going back into the crease and blending it
in with the previous red and orange shades.
Step 5:
As a few final steps, I’ll apply
the darkest shade to my lower lash line and blend it out with one of the first
orange shades. Also, I’ll blend out the edges with clean blending brush to make
sure there’s no harsh edges.
And that’s it, the easiest go to eyeshadow
look. It’s so easy to interpret other techniques/looks into this one look to make
it different. But as a basic, starter look it’s a really good look to get better
at simple blending and building.
Anyway, I’m hopefully going to start
posting more makeup looks/reviews soon so keep a look out and let me know any
posts you’d like to see!
Thanks for reading!
