Muted Metallics

Hello you patient readers! How are all of you?  It has been a while since I last posted, but today I am going to post an eye makeup tutorial for you guys. There will be another makeup look soon, and a brush cleaning tutorial, so bear with me. There are no links in this post. Well, onto today’s post!

This simple look is called “Muted Metallics” as you can wear this slightly shimmery look anytime of the day, and even for every occasion. It has a touch of shine to it, while still looking quite natural and wearable. I used three main shades for this look, plus one highlight. Read

below for the steps!

Step One: Using a clean finger or a Q-tip, apply a slightly shimmery light tan shade all over the eyelids and over the crease area. Gently blend out the edges, and apply more shadow if needed. The palette used is the Lancome Colour Design Eyeshadow Quad in Haute Sunset.

My eye looks dark in this photo because I took it when it was a bit dark in my room :P

 

Step Two: Using a Q-tip,find the hollows of your eyes,  and gently prod. This is where the next colour is going to go. Load the Q-tip with a matte chocolate brown eyeshadow, and apply to the outer third of the hollows of the eyes, and gently blend the colour outwards.

Step Three: Using a wet/dry eyelining palette, select a shade that is close to the one in the picture. Here I am using the Cargo Wet/dry Eyelining Palette. If you do have this palette, I am using the dark gold-brown colour.  Wet an eyelining brush, and dab off any dripping water. Quickly mix the water with the colour, until the desired consistency is reached.  Make a thin, yet noticeable line close to the upper lash line, and wing out the liner about a five millimetres. Add an extra layer of eyeliner is necessary.

Step Four: Wipe the brush and the palette dry. Selecting the same colour, place along the lower lash line, going two-thirds into the lash line.

Step Five: Smoke the colour towards the inner lash line, and widen the area of the line, slightly. This step balances out the eyelid colours. If you like, add mascara, for a more defined makeup look.

Step Six: Add a touch of a highlighting colour in the inner corners of the eyes, and along the tear ducts. Pat the colour to blend it in.

There you go, a simple look that can be worn anywhere, or for any occasion. I hope that this article helped you to incorporate a new makeup look into the many (or not so many) looks that you already use. A new makeup post will be put up tomorrow, with a picture at the end of my braces, just for a little fun. Thanks for reading and stay posted for more looks!

Happy Trying
