FOTD/EOTD: Birthday Makeup + Get The Look

Someone asked me about the products I used on the eye makeup look I wore on my Happy Skin X Preview Hot Stuff Shut Up And Kiss Me Lippie review and I thought of creating a tutorial for it. Aside from an overall brown lid wash, this slightly, smoky eye makeup look is one of my staples as

Prime your eyelids. This is a crucial step in making the eye makeup look appear more vibrant and last longer.

Now the eye makeup look begins:

STEP 1: I used a muted brown eyeshadow as a neutralizing base and to make the highlighter color appear more prominent. This step is optional though, but if you want your lid highlighter to pop, I would recommend it. This step is more recommended to those with discolored skin on the eyelids.

STEP 2: Apply a cream white eyeshadow on your lower lids.

STEP 3: Dot matte black eyeshadow on the lowest portion of your outer crease.

STEP 4: Take a blender brush and sweep the matte black eyeshadow upwards, all the way to your above crease using a light motion. Be sure to leave the black dot somewhat intact on your lower outer crease for definition.

And we're done!

Take a matte black gel eyeliner and trace the curve of your upper lash line-no need for a winged tip. Grab a dark brown pencil eyeliner, line your lower lash line, and set it with a matte dark brown eyeshadow. Finally, apply a rich coat of mascara.
