Well guys, I attempted to make a Youtube video tutorial and I sort of failed! For some reason I can't get the video to upload to my YouTube channel...I guess that's what I get for trying to do this all on upload day! What I ended up doing was uploading the video into four smaller sections...I apologize for this rough start to my YouTube life, but I didn't want all of this time to just go to waste!
We'll try again for one put-together video next week, but I think I did an OK job of capturing each step for this eye look! I also included my steps written out here on this post and step-by-step pictures! Make sure you click on the pictures to get a larger look at each step and I have captioned each one this time too!

So for this kind of look, I use three eyeshadows and three brushes. The first brush is a fluffy blending brush. This is for your lightest eyeshadow, or the transition shade. Use windshield-wiper motions and small circles to blend this color into the crease and just above it. It is ok to be messy! This is really just to help blend all shadows together!
The second brush is a natural hair blending brush and this is for the crease color, which should be one of your darker shades. For this look, I used a dark mauve shade. With this color, you want to focus on the outer corners and into the crease just below your transition shade. Keep adding more until it is the color that you like! Also, avoid the inner part of the eye with this dark color!
Last brush is a firm shader brush for the lid color. I usually put a shimmery shade onto my lids to make them pop! To give it a bit of an extra shine, I spray the brush with MAC Fix + (or really any setting spray) to give it more of a metallic look! Put this color all over the lid and into the inner corners. You may need to go back and repeat some of these steps until you build up the color and blending that you want!
For the final steps on the eyes, I added my winged liner (you can totally skip this or do just a thin liner), curled my lashes, added mascara, and finished the bottom lash line after I did my foundation, concealer and contouring! I also filled in my eyebrows as usual!
I apologize for the four separate videos this time around and the not-so-great quality! I'll hopefully get better for the next one and get a little fancier and edit the clips! I hope you enjoyed and found this tutorial helpful! Let me know what you want to see next!
