Neutral Look # 4

Hey Guys,
I recently did a tutorial for this look, its another neutral look (if you don't know, neutrals are my favorite) but I decided to do something different with the eyeshadow.

Tip:
Black eyeshadow has more than one purpose, it can be used to just be a black eyeshadow or it can be used to deepen another color and turn it into something else.
(which is shown in this video).


If you can tell, the crease is a bit darker than the top of the crease, but the same shadow was used (only difference was i used black to deepen the color)
(lol btw i knew my eyeliner was off, i had the worse trouble applying it today because *as i said in the video* lol i ran out, talk about drama i spent five minutes trying to grab more out of the bottle.)


Brushes Used:
*FantaSea Cosmetics (powder brush)
*(non-namebrand) Duo Fiber Stippling Brush similar to MAC 187
*Eco Tools (concealer brush)
*(non-namebrand) brush- similar to MAC 239
*(non-namebrand) brush- its just a basic shadow brush
*Stila #30 Brush
*Eco Tools Highlight brush- (from the eye brushes set)

Products Used:
*Hard Candy Primer
*Physicians Formula Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15

To the Right is a picture of the eye-shadows:
*The single shadow is Cover Girl-Dewy Pink
*The pallet is from MA
C (since I'm not sure the names of the shadows, ill just recommend colors from MAC that will work about the same.
*Black shadow sub w/ BLACK TIED
*Bronze/Gold shadow sub w/WOODWINKED
* Light Beige color sub w/ NANOGOLD
*Light Peach/Pink color sub w/Mylar or a shade similar to your skin tone works as well (you can also opt to not do the step that includes this shade)


On the left is swatches of the shadows,
beginning with the left is the (top left MAC shadow),
next is the (top right MAC shadow),
then (left middle MAC shadow),
(black shadow is the left bottom MAC shadow), last shadow is the CG Dewy Pink






Hopefully this was helpful to anyone who had trouble finding the shadows used.
