Eye Makeup Tutorial

here is another beauty blog backtrack of a post i wrote for kiki creates:

applying eye makeup can sometimes be intimidating, especially when you are using new colors. here is a quick and simple step by step tutorial showing what colors to use and where to apply them. you too can apply makeup like a pro, it's as easy as 1-2-3.


apply a black eyeshadow to the highlighted area


to blend the black with your skin, apply a brown shadow to merge the two tones


finish with a shimmery shade to the entire eyelid. this blends all colors together and gives a nice smooth finish to the entire lid.


this is what the finished product looks like. applying makeup doesn't have to be tedious, or take a long time. this easy shimmer shadow can be done in seconds. possibly a new look for a holiday party coming up?

happy holidays!

  6. Another reason why I like your blog so much! Is there a post that gives your top 10 products? for example, when you say "shimmery eye shadow" what kind do you prefer? I love it when you use examples of things so that I can compare that to what I already have or what i need to add to my shopping list. thx!

    Arielle, sorry for the delayed response but i am heading over to check it out ASAP.

    WinterBerry Glen, i have created a few posts listing my favorite things. but, for shimmery eyeshadow, Bare Minerals Queen Phyllis is my goto shimmer shadow. looks good with/over anything.
