in today's video i'm going to show you how to create this super easy eye makeup look it only takes a few steps to complete this look so it's perfect for beginners so let's get started let's go through the products you'll need to recreate this look for a base i am using painterly paint pop by mac this is a great base for creating a blank canvas and giving your eyeshadow something to hold on to we're going to be applying three different shades a light medium and dark our lightest shade is this one by isa loren it is number three satin crush next i have the up cosmetics five second eyes in the shade smokey bronze this will be our medium shade and the shade brownie as our darkest shade and these are perfect for creating a super easy look for my matte midtone i'm using an essence eyebrow shadow this is perfect for creating some depth in the crease your mid tone should be at least one shade darker than your skin tone and at least one shade lighter than your contour shade i also wanted to add a touch of sparkle at the end so i'm using the power chrome loose eyeshadow pigment by nars in shotgun and for brushes i'm using blank canvas cosmetics one step eye brush set this has everything that i need so starting off with our base we're going to apply this all over the lid this is going to give our eyeshadow something to hold on to as well as creating a blank canvas for us to work on that's going to help the eyeshadows pop a little bit more once we have our base on our lid we can then move on to our shadows the first shadow that i'm going to take is that mid tone and i'm going to be applying this with a fluffy brush so grab your favorite blending brush this is going to be applied into the crease of the eye and then slowly blended upwards this adds some framing to the eye shape a nice little trick is to keep your eyes open when you're applying this this will just make sure that you're blending above the lid and creating the right shape for your eye space the depth of the color should be right at that crease and then very softly blended upwards towards the brows we're going to start off with our lightest shade and we're going to be applying this with a small brush i'm using a pencil brush i like to start by applying just a small amount underneath the brows make sure you don't bring this down too far you're keeping it quite tight underneath the brows and then we're going to focus this on the inner third of the lid so starting in that inner corner bringing it to about the halfway point and stopping just there the majority of the pigment should be on the inner third and then make sure you repeat this on the other side before you move on next we're sticking to that same brush and we're going to take our next eyeshadow this is going to be applied beside that one right in the center and blending outwards so covering the middle third of the lid so start in the middle and blend inwards and outwards you want to make sure you don't bring this up past the lid point keep this to just the lid not into the crease make sure you repeat this on the other side before you move on and then we're going to take our final eye eyeshadow this is our darkest shade we're going to stick to that same brush again we're going to cover the outer third so the final third of the lid again try not to bring this up too high now if you want to add some more structure to the eye you can bring this brush down underneath and then sweep it upwards this will create kind of a soft winged effect and then kind of buff and blend it into the eye shape it adds more of a lifted look i always like to go over with my blending brush just on that outer edge so we don't have any harsh lines i then finished off with just a little bit of that loose pigment on that inner corner this is totally optional i absolutely love this shade so any chance i get to use it i will and that is the finished look i added some mascara and lashes and there you go a super easy look i would love for you guys to try it out if you do definitely let me know if you enjoy this video please give it a thumbs up i'd really appreciate it as always my friends be kind to yourself you're doing the best you can be kind to others and i will see you in the next one you
