Easy Wedding Guest Makeup Look

/

I haven't done a step by step picture tutorial in a while for you guys and since it's wedding season, I thought I'd bring you one that is so easy! You only need 3 eyeshadows and a black eyeliner pencil and you're good to go. The technique can be done with WHATEVER colored eyeshadow you want. I used a brown one with copper sparkles but you can do a bright color like teal or maybe navy; both of which I think would be stunning. The possibilities are endless, so practice the technique and get to experimenting! I like how it gives a darker, soft and smokey look which is perfect if you have weddings to attend late summer/early fall! I used three shadows from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Palette but you can use whatever you want! You'll just need a matte shade close to your skin tone, your main color, and a shimmering/metallic shade to jazz it up a bit! The brushes I used were simple and few too; one fluffy blending brush and one pencil brush! That's it! Now let's get started...

Before I began, I prepped my eyelid with some leftover concealer. Then I used the skin tone shade (Buttery) and put it all over my lid using the fluffy blending brush. I also added a thin line of black eyeliner.

Keep adding more shadow and blending it out, until you have your desired intensity and smokiness. Lastly, I added the same main color on the outer 2/3 of my lower lash line and blended it out, and popped a little of my metallic shade (Beigely) to the inner corner.

Here are the shades that I used from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Palette just for reference (the camera doesn't quite pickup the copper glitter in Baby I'm a Star but that's what makes this color fun). Remember thought! You can use whatever colors you want! I'm just trying to teach you the technique so you can create a perfect simple, but smokey eye makeup look that you can wear to any special nighttime event (or wear it in the daytime! I'm not here to judge)!

And now for the final look! I just finished the look off with one of my favorite mascaras (Loreal Voluminous Lash Paradise) and the eye look was complete! All other makeup details are listed below in the photo's caption!

First Impressions Video (Ulta/Sephora Haul Proucts)

Last Monday I shared the products I picked up from the Ulta and Sephora spring sales and thought it'd be fun if I filmed a video trying the products I picked up for myself (not my kit). I really loved the look that came out of it! You'll have to watch below to see which products I loved!

I was honestly a little shocked that I picked so many products that I LOVED! I will say though this probably comes from years of experience swatching products and testing things. I can pretty much tell by a formula or shade if I'm going to like it. Sometimes I'm still surprised though and some things might not work out as well as I expect. 

Comment below which palette you want me to do 10 looks with!

Have a wonderful weekend!
