Fall Eye Turtorial

Hey guys! I know I've been so lazy lately you probably all forgot all about my blog. I reassure you, I'm still here!! Anyways, recently I've been so busy failing all my classes and wrapped up in my super crazy Halloween costume, (which I have to include a photo of because it was AMAZING. My sister and I have been planning it since February of this year! Of course, I'm sad that it's over but I'm also relieved because I can go back to blogging again!) that I haven't been able to blog anything new and for that I apologize!  So here's my costume:

I was just a regular mermaid, but my dad wanted to try and win a contest on Facebook so here I am being a model a'f. 

 Anyways, since I have been so busy I haven't really bought many new products… okay that's a lie! But I want to save some for future blogs because they're so amazing I'd love to stretch them out as long as I can! Since fall is already coming to a close, I've decided to do a mini turtorial of what my eyeshadow was like today. Using all fall colors can be a little tricky, especially the oranges, but with the right products your eyes will pop! 

This time I've included videos!! I know they're short and gross looking but bare with me. I tried to use the YouTube app but my iPhone apparently has no more room and my camera was being stupid so I resorted to good old SnapChat.

Lets Get Started:

1. First And Most Important is to start off with a fresh face. Since I took pictures later in the day, I removed only my eye makeup but kept them brows doe.

2. Eye Primer! I know a lot of people think primer is a waste of time. It so isn't. Yes, you could most certainly just use your foundation as an eye primer but it's probably going to make your eye shadow crease and we all no that is no bueno. So for this tutorial I am using my most favorite eye shadow primer. URBAN DECAY BABY!

The best part about this primer is that you only need to add a little. Honestly this picture is so inaccurate because even this amount was too much! 

Blending your primer is super important! Urban Decay is my favorite, but without actually blending it, it can get caked up and that's no good!

3. EYE SHADOW!! (Pallets and where to find them are included at the bottom of page) Always always always start with highlight because trust me, just do it.So for my highlight I used the peachy gold on the top of the pallet. ( Sorry no names were included!)

I personally like to blend my highlight first because it is on the outer part of the eye so too much glitter or too much "white" will definitely show, and for this look light colors are no very important. ( Brushes and where to find them will be included on bottom as well.)

Our Second color includes a mix of both the Orange (top) and NYX Glam Shadow in OVER THE TOP (bottom). I used both of these for my lid. 

Patting, not blending the colors will leave you with more coverage.

Next I used Wrath from Kat Von D's Monarch Pallet. Because the orange is much more deep in pigment I added this to the very outer corner of my lid creating some more definition. I also used the gold color Summerfly. I forgot to include a photo but you can see it one color over. I used this right before the highlight on the very inner of my lid for some dazzle.

Starting to work on the shadows I mixed both the red (top) & brown (bottom) to crate a sort of base color for my crease.

Since the color ended up being more brown than red, and everything in this pallet is super shimmery, I wanted something Matte so I went back using my Kat Von D Eye Contour Pallet in Succubus to add some more definition to my crease. I used the skinny side of my eye contour brush because I wanted more crease definition instead of making a big red mess.

Mixing both Sytry (top) from the Shade light pallet and Deadhead (bottom) from the Monarch pallet, I added more definition on the other part of my crease. Using dark colors will help you create a deeper looking crease for bigger eyes. since we've put so much work into colors this will really help them stand out.

Lastly, I added Laetus from the Shade & Light pallet to make sure my highlights are still there and to blend the darker colors into my brow and inner eye area.

Not really sure why this is sideways. But anyways, if you're not a fan of the tape method then eye shadow clean up is a must! Concealer is really good for this but because I don't really use concealer I decided to use my NYX eye shadow base in skin tone. This works really well for me because my skin has a little more color so this blends perfectly. since its a shadow base after I'm done with my cleanup I just go back with my face highlight and it stick so well its like the mess was never there to begin with!

Using my small eye shadow brush, I dip it into the base and blend it starting from my outer eye to the end of my brow to create a nice line for where i want my wing to be.

🌻

Finally Mascara and eyeliner time! I only bought the trial size of this mascara, but if you don't have it GET IT. It's literally amazing and it's my favorite!

The Final Look:

Brushes: 

Arbonne's Brush Set. I didn't use all of these brushes, but it's such a deal compared to what other brushes cost. Plus they're vegan. I used both the Eye shadow brush + The blending brush + the small eye shadow brush. 

Brush Set #7098 - $38.00 

Kat Von D's Shade & Light eye Contour Brush. At first I was like "I'm not paying for that" But I'm so happy I did! This brush can be used for anything!! I love it and I totally recommend it. ALSO VEGAN.  

Shade + Light Eye Contour Brush - $29.00

Once again I'd just like to thank all of you beautiful people for looking at my blog and keeping me busy! I hope this tutorial helped you and I didn't include pallet info because I have done so in my previous posts. The only pallet I didn't include was the one I used for the super un- descriptive colors but I bought that a long time ago and the closest thing to it would be E.L.F.'s Pro Pallet ( I'll include a link.) Of course I'm so thankful for all my new followers on Instagram, and all of your encouragement! I hope to do more of these tutorials, hopefully I'll get my you tube up and working so it would be less reading and more watching! Sorry for the weird talking in some of the videos, my mom came in and was asking me weird stuff. Lol. So thank you to everyone! If you're not already following me, then you can find my info on my info page! Have a great weekend!
