Lovely Beginners Eye Makeup Tutorial - Parts of the Eye.
How To Apply Eyeshadow
Welcome back to another makeup lesson
today we're gonna create a classic party
look this is for so many different
occasions and it's really easy to create
as well let's get started so as with
every look that we create we always want
to start off with a clean base and to do
that you want to use a primer so you can
either mix your primer with your
concealer or you can use a tinted primer
this one by Urban Decay it's a classic
it's one of my absolute favorites it's
my kind of go-to basically all you want
to do is just apply this all over the
lid it will create a blank canvas for us
to work on disguise any discoloration
while also helping your eyeshadows last
longer because it gives them something
to hold on to which is a really
important part
now let's recap on parts of the eye
because I always get asked about this so
I like to split the eye into three
sections the lid the crease area this is
where the lid creases into the eye shape
and then the brow bone which is
technically not the brow bone is just
underneath the brows and then like to
split the lid into three sections as
well so we have an inner a middle and an
outer and then you have your three liner
areas so we have your waterline which is
the lower part that you can see we have
the tight line or the upper waterline
which is underneath and then we also
have your lash line which is that line
across right by your lashes and these
are the kind of main areas that you
apply liner
to create any eye makeup look I usually
use about four different eyeshadows a
highlight a contour and a mid-tone your
mid-tone is basically in between your
light in your dark then I also have a
fade shade don't get scared it's okay
we're only gonna apply a very small
amount of it but it does make a big
difference and I'll explain why in a bit
now for brushes you really only need
like two or three a blending brush and a
pencil brush now I would recommend
having actually two blending brushes but
that's optional
one for applying one for blending just
so you don't muddy up your look and then
also a flat brush this is for cutting
the crease you don't plan on your crease
you can always use your fingertips for
what we're gonna do later so there's all
your tools now let's start applying so
we're gonna start off with our mid-tone
and we're going to use our blending
brush you always want to make sure
you're using your blending brush for
your mid-tone to create that really soft
effect now a lot of people refer to this
as a transition shade totally fine I
call it mid-tone because it's a middle
tone but it's totally up to you you're
gonna blend this over and back and
slowly build this up because your lids
gonna be a little tacky if you go in
with too much eye shadow to begin with
it's just gonna grab hold of certain
areas and not blend you also want to
hold your brush in the center of the
handle and keep it at about eye level so
a little higher than normal and sweep
this over and back in the crease don't
worry if it looks kind of muddy on the
lid that's totally fine just make sure
that blend upwards towards the brow bone
is nice and smooth your contour is next
and there should be at least one shade
darker than your skin tone you're going
to apply this with the smaller of the
brushes that we've been using and I want
you to tap this so literally hold a
brush right in the center to get maximum
control and just tap this on that outer
edge so the outer third off the lid
then take your clean blending brush
holding it right down the end of the
brush sweep this over and back just the
soft now any harsh lines so this is just
gonna basically deepen the crease and
just apply a little bit more of a depth
look so when we cut the crease it's
gonna look even sharper okay now we're
going to cut the crease do you're gonna
take your concealer brush with a little
bit of concealer on it so just follow
the natural shape or create the illusion
of a shape of a lid and you can rest
your pinky on your cheek for support and
what I do is I barely touch the skin as
I go around the edges and then pull it
downwards across the lid
we're going to move on to now applying
our highlighter using that same brush
and we're going to go over everything
that we've already cooked so you're
basically going to create kind of a
sharper effect a brighter effect and
your highlighter is gonna go on much
nicer
so now we have a divide between that
inner corner on the outer corner so what
we want to do is to create a fade so
we're gonna use our fate shade take it
on a blending brush and just apply this
right where the two of them meet and you
can also blend this into the crease as
well at least that's my take on a fade
shade I don't think anybody else knows
what it is except for me and you guys
but it's awesome
we can also apply the glitter just to
add a little bit of fun we're gonna
apply it over everything that we've
already applied starting in the middle
of the lid and then blending outwards
and inwards
next gonna go in with liner don't panic
all we're gonna do is just run along the
lash line nothing fancy nothing crazy no
wing I'm also going to apply lots and
lots of mascara
your contour is next and push this right
underneath those ashes and I've already
applied lower lash mascara already so
we're basically just creating the
illusion of a deeper effect and there
you go that is the finished look I hope
that you guys will check this one out
super easy phone and works on so many
different people and I will see you in
the next one
