Beauty Tutorial: My Everyday Eyes

I've been getting a few comments asking how I do my eye makeup, so I thought I'd do a quick tutorial for interested ladies. I don't like spending too much time on my everyday look, so I always spend 10-15 minutes on my eyes while powder, a bit of blush, and some pink lip gloss take all of 5 minutes. On good days, it takes me about 15-20 minutes to put everything on. For this look, you will need some basic products:

1) Tan eyeshadow (any brand, but I used the lightest shade from Too Faced's Naughty or Nice palette)
2) Pen-type Eyeliner (I used Etude House's Dual Change eyeliner that has a thin tip and a slightly fatter middle)
3) Mascara base (I used Missha's Perfect Mascara Prime Base)
4) Mascara (I used Artistry's mascara in Black)

Etude House Dual Change Eyeliner available at Etude House
Megamall Branch (Ground Floor, Building A)
Missha's Perfect Mascara Prime Base bought for Php300 from ebay seller Sun Kim
Artistry's Mascara in Black for Php1,535 available from multiply seller Artistry Essentials

You can use any brand you want, but I definitely recommend Etude House's eyeliner and Artistry's mascara. Really great staying power and no smudging. :)

Step 1: After completing your powder/foundation/concealer/etc. face care ritual, dust your entire eyelid with the tan eyeshadow. I just use the tip of my pinky to apply it, and it gives it a nice sparkly finish. (You can also use white shimmer shadow instead of tan.)

Step 2: Line your lids from inner corner to outermost area, extending well past the bit where the corner of your eye ends. A practiced hand can do this in on sweep, but you can stop and start and go a bit slower if needed. End the line by flicking your hand the slightest bit to the top. Note: You can go as long or as short as you want with the eyeliner-- the longer you go past the corner of your eye, the more dramatic it looks.

Step 3: Coat your eyelashes with your mascara base. Missha goes on white and somewhat tacky, and is fantastic at separating and thickening your lashes. You may double coat it if you want super thick lashes; I used two coats for this tutorial, but usually just go with one. Wait for it to dry before putting mascara on top; I usually do one eye after the other, and by the time I'm done with the right eye, the left is already dry and ready for mascara.

Step 4: Coat your eyelashes with the mascara of your choice. I used Artistry's mascara which has a thickening/lengthening formula already, so this combo really made my eyes pop. You can use regular mascara if you don't want your eyelashes too thick. :) After finishing your last coat, sit in front of the fan for 30 seconds to dry your lashes. After that, you're good to go!
