HOW TO: My Everyday Defined Crease Eyeshadow Look

During the summertime, I'm not really into wearing a lot of makeup, due to my laziness and the heat of the summer. When I do wear eyeshadow (or makeup in general) I have been really into defining my crease, felt tip liner, and beautiful long lashes. I think that it looks natural, but gives your eyes something instead of nothing.

Step 1: Primer

Whenever I wear eyeshadow even if it just a little, like this look, I always apply a primer first to keep the shadow on all day and to control my oily eyelids.

Apply this product all over your eyelid up to the brow bone.

Step 2: The less concentrated crease work

I honestly believe that if you use good brushes to apply the makeup, it will turn out better than before. My secret for this step is honestly the brush. Without this brush, this eyeshadow look would not be the same.

I take the brush and swirl it in the eyeshadow a couple of times and use windshield wiper motions back and forth throughout my crease. The brush allows a less concentrated application which prepares us for the next step.

Step 3: The more concentrated crease work

I am obsessed with the color 'limit', but I completely understand that you probably do not want to buy this entire palette for this one eyeshadow. So I will describe it the best I can. It is a light matte brown with hints of pink to it.

This brush is better for more concentration than the other brush I used. I take the brush and get a good amount of product on and use windshield wiper motions back and forth, until I feel that the product is completely blended throughout my crease. Also I will take whatever is left on the brush and just swipe it over my eyelid too.

Step 4: Thin Eyeliner application

Right now I am really into these felt tip pen eyeliners. They apply kind of like a Sharpie would (I don't know about you, but I LOVE Sharpies).

I apply a very thin line across my lash line. I think winged liner would look so amazing, but unfortunately I am not very good at this.

Step 5:  Curling the Lashes and Applying Mascara

This Mascara is my secret weapon when it comes to long beautiful lashes. I like the waterproof version because remember it is summer after all.

I start by curling my eyelashes with an eyelash curler, and then apply 1-2 coats of this mascara on my lashes (don't forget to apply it on the lower lashes too).

That is my natural everyday eyeshadow look (when I wear makeup).
