Makeup Look: Doe-Eyed, Big Eyes

Hellooo friends,

I wanted to get another makeup look up with the emphasis this time on creating big, round eyes. Enjoy!

EYES:

To give that doe-eyed look, I wanted to make the whole lid super light and just emphasize the crease a bit.  Giving a round shape to the eyelid helps give the illusion of a big, bright eye.

I used the Urban Decay Naked palette for all of the eye shadow in this look.

First I covered the whole lid from the lash line to the crease in a mix between “Virgin” and “Naked” with my Sephora Collection “base shadow” brush, similar HERE. I wanted to get as much color as possible on the lid to make it pop so I dipped my brush in Mac Fix+ before applying.

Once the lid was looking pretty light all over, I wanted to go in the crease with a fluffy blending brush and define it a bit to create that round shape I’m looking

for.  I used my Sephora Collection #10 brush and brushed the color “Buck” back and forth over the crease.  P.s. this brush is amazing for getting the perfect distribution of color in the
crease.  Recent awesome discovery 😉

After the crease was a bit shaded, I went back in to the lid with my previous brush, this time with a mix of “Virgin” and “Sin” to add a bit of shimmer and make the lid even brighter.

I didn’t want to use eyeliner, and definitely not liquid liner, because it can make the eye appear smaller.  I just went in with my Mac Kohl liner in Smolder and really messily darkened up my upper lash line.  Then I just smudged it out a tiny bit with my Sephora Collection #29 smudge brush.  I didn’t apply any eye liner of my lower lash line.

Next up is mascara.  I think fluffy, long lashes are a must to complete this bright eyed look.  I put on some Loreal Telescopic Mascara and I was finished with the eyes!

FACE:

I used mostly the same products as I did in my other post “My 5 Minute Everyday Fresh Face Look” so I’ll just recap briefly:

For my face, I used Revlon Photo Ready liquid foundation in Nude 004, blending it in with my fingers first, and then going over it with a damp beauty blender.

I knew I wanted to apply under eye concealer to help make my eyes pop, so I applied my favorite, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard and blended again with my beauty blender.

Then I contoured lightly with my kabuki style brush and my Kiko Bronzer Powder in 104. I lightly contoured the hollows of my cheeks, my hair line, and my jaw line.

LIPS:

For my lips I used a mix of Gerard Cosmetics’ Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Serenity and Kiko’s Smart Lipstick in 901 “Natural Beige”. Serenity by itself was a little too pinky, so I like the muted version that came out after the mix with a more nude color.

There you have it! A natural, fresh look, to emphasize the size of the eyes!

Hope you enjoyed! xxx
