Step 1: I'm going to start by priming my eyelids with the Elf Eyelid Primer. I've started to find that my eyelids are starting to get a bit oily, so to contain the oils and make sure my eye makeup lasted. This eyelid primer has a slight sheen and colour so its a pretty base. It also cancels out all the veins and redness in my weird eyelids. So I'm just swiping some onto my eyelid and blending it in with my finger.
Step 2: Taking the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette or any nude palette, it really doesn't have to be be big or expensive. Just go with whatever you have, there are lots available in high street drugstores. I'm taking W.O.S which is a matte, very light nude colour. The brush I am using is the Real Technique domed shadow brush. Using these products i'm brushing the eyeshadow all over the lid, with no particular way. Just swipe it so that you have an even layer between the eyelids.
Step 3: With the lid colour complete, I'm going to take a second shade from the Naked Basics Palettes called Naked 2. Using the Real Technique Duo-Fibre Eye Brush, I only used a little amount of eye shadow tapping off the excess. Using this eyeshadow I brushed the shadow into the crease. This is a super subtle crease colour so feel free to used a darker brown colour. Using the same brush and colour, I continued to blend it into the crease so that it blends into the lighter colour. Creating a ultra fine sculpt to the eye. (Fancy Language I know!)
Step 4: This step it completely up to you. I was trying out this eye look and I wanted to add something extra. So I took the Loreal Colour Riche Eyeshadow in 200 Nude (Which the beautiful Ruby bought me for christmas) This is the most buttery and pigmented colour, not to mention how beautiful it is! Its a beautiful, intense rose gold nude, with lots of shimmery sparkle. Using this eyeshadow and the Real Techniques Shading Brush I'm going to create a cat eye shaped line with this gold shadow. First I am going to from the inner corner of the eye and draw a diagonal line to where the eye ends, creating a cat eye like shape. Then drawing another diagonal line the end of the first line and joining them up, fill in this outlined shape and then once again using the Real Techniques domed shadow brush. Blend these harsher lines to create a softer smokey eye.
Step 5: Finally the last step to complete the eyeshadow, I'm taking Venus the highlighter colour and put it in my brow bone and inner corner of my eye using the Real Techniques Duo-Fibre Eye Brush.
Step 6: To add some depth, I'm using a Topshop Kohl Pencil Liner in Coal. I'm creating a very rough line on the eyelash line, it doesn't have to be neat at all. I then am going to smudge it out to create more smokiness, but only a little. I also added some to my waterline.
Step 7: Firstly I curled my eyelashes Then I applied mascara. The mascara I chose with this eye look was the Benefit They're Real, this step is completely flexible choose your favourite mascara, which is in your price range or one that you think suits this look. I chose this one because its really lengthening properties and I just really like it. I simply just added two to three coats to give my lashes length and volume.
Step 8: This step is also really flexible, I'm adding in my brow routine. So you can add in yours or completely miss this step. I'm simply just using the Maybellene Brow Drama in Medium Brown. I just combed this through my brows to fill them in and hold them in place.
