I'm wearing five different eyeshadows!
How do you apply five different
eyeshadows? Where do you apply them? And
how do you blend them to create this
hombre,
gradual transition of color over the eye?
It's actually very easy! Keep on watching!
Welcome to Lifestyle with Isabella, the
place where we learn to look the best
while being our best selves. Let's learn
how to apply and blend eyes shadow.
The first step is to prime your eyes.
I've been using for quite a few years
the Yves Saint Laurent primer. The reason
is important to prime your eyes is
because the colors are going to look
more vibrant on your eyes and also
primer keeps the eyeshadow from creasing
into your crease. I can actually show you the difference. So I'm going
to apply a bit of eye primer on my hand,
right there and then I'm going to take
the eye shadow palette that we're gonna
use today, I'm going to apply some eye
shadow over the primer and then I'm
going to apply some eye shadow... This is
where I applied the primer and this is
where there's no primer. Much more vivid!
Quite a difference! I'm going to use the
Come through contour brush from MOTD
cosmetics and I'm just going to take a
bit on my brush and cover the entire eye
area...the lid.
After I apply it, I like to take my
finger... ring finger, only only use your
ring finger when touching the
area on your eyes and kind of press the
eye primer into my eye.
This way it's well applied but also I
remove any excess product that I might
have used. And now we're going to do the
other eye. Next step we have to set the
eye primer with powder. It's important to
set the eye primer we just applied
because notice the eye primer if you
touch it, it's very sticky. Imagine
putting eyeshadow, which is powder, on top
of something sticky. The eyeshadows are
not going to blend, so when we set the
eye primer with powder, then we remove
that stickiness and the eyeshadows we
apply are going to be very easy to blend.
Setting the eye primer also helps even
further with keeping the eyeshadow from
creasing in the middle of your eye. I'm
going to use this Guerlain setting
powder to set my eye primer. The only
reason I use it is because I bought it to
try it on my face and I don't like it;
it looks too powdery for my preference.
So I just use it to prime my eyes. I am
using the conceal your secret brush
from motd cosmetics. I don't necessarily
recommend this powder, just use any
setting powder you have for this part.
And I take the powder, do not rub over
the eye area, basically just gently tap
the powder into the eye primer. Then once
you are done, gently sweep any excess
powder you might have placed there and
kind of repeat on the other side. Before
we apply the eyeshadow, and by the way
you may hear my husband
background speaking, I want to explain to
you what applying and blending eyeshadow
means. So I'm going to use this area on
my arm. I already prepped it with the
primer and set the primer. Basically is
you start with a light color eyeshadow,
you apply it and then you take eye
shadow that's slightly darker and you
apply it over a smaller area not quite
as big and then you take typically a
clean brush and you run it over the
harsh edges. And it's hard for me to get
the right technique right now because I
can see, but you run it over the harsh
edges until you create a blended look.
Then you get the even fluffier brush
until you diffuse... and it all looks just a
kind of a hombre, blended look. Obviously
when we do the eye, my technique will be
but much better. And then if you want to
create more depth, you can take an even
darker eyeshadow, you cover even smaller
area and then you do the same thing with
a brush, you diffuse the harsh edges. You
see, you're creating more depth... than with
a fluffier brush again and you have just
a gradual transition of one color into
another into another. And I know it's not
well blended but it's hard for me to
blend without actually seeing the area
directly. Today we're going to use the
KKW Beauty eyeshadow palette. This is
the classic palette. The reason I chose
this palette for the tutorial today is
because all the colors that we need are
in this one palette. We don't have to use
the two different palettes to get
everything we need. My base which is
primer on my face
and tinted moisturizer is already on. I
always like to do my base first before I
do the eyes and since my base is already
on, I always use these eyes shields to
protect my face from any fallout from
eyes shadow.
For you your base might be primer and
foundation. So I'm gonna place this right
here. So when you apply eye shadow just
keep two things in mind. This right here
is your crease...This is your
crease. And then when you apply eye
shadow, do not come any lower than this,
is basically the edge, the line... think
from your lower lash line... there is a
continuation like that... so everything
stays above that. If you come any lower,
than your face is gonna start to look
droopy. We don't want that! We're going to
start with the build and blend brush
from MOTD cosmetics. Most of my brushes
are from
motd cosmetics. They're very soft to the
face. And we're going to start with
calabash color which is this one right
here. I'm gonna swirl...  always tap to
remove any excess eyeshadow. Never put
the brush into the eyeshadow and put it
on your eye without tapping the excess
first. And we're going to start on the
outer corner of the eye right here and
kind of swirl it... it doesn't have to be
very exact and kind of go across
following the outline of the crease and
you just swirl. You notice how I'm
holding my brush, kind of from here so I
don't apply too much pressure. And kind
of a windshield wiper motion as well.
And now we have created an outline for
the eye. Next I'm going to take the
seamless sheer blend brush and I want to
just run this brush, I don't have any
product on this brush, I want to run the
brush over the top and kind of all
across the color I just applied to make
sure that there's no harsh lines and
that it's well diffused across my eye.
Next I'm going to take the eye catching
crease brush and I'm going to use
Florence; there's this color right here.
And I'm going to dip it just a bit, tap
the excess and basically I'm going to
start again out the corner of my eye and
I'm going to go like this and across my
crease right here and honestly sometimes,
especially when I was learning I could
like... your crease is were that bone starts...
and I would go like this just tap it
into the crease to make sure that I
follow the correct outline. I don't do
that anymore. This is how I apply it now
but this way you know you're placing the
color where it should go. So this is how
I apply it now but I still follow the
same outline. I let that brow bone
guide me... the
direction where my brush is going. Then
I'm going to take a slightly fluffier
brush, there's no product right now in
this brush. You could apply some of the
first color we use the calabash color if
you want it's more so more of person
preference. Right now we're just going to
use with no product. Ao it's just a
slightly fluffier brush and we're going
to wand the brush along the gently again
just hold it from here,
we're gonna run it across the harsh
lines but just keep it a bit precise; you
don't diffuse the color we just applied
all over your eye and make it look muddy.
And we're going to repeat the same thing
on the side.
Seamless your blend and just gently, just
grab it from here, and gently run it
across all the eyeshadow we applied to
further the blend all the eyeshadow and
diffuse it in a nice subtle ombre effect,
all across the eye. Next we're going to
apply color on the eyelid. I'm going to
take the under the covers brush and I'm
going to spray it gently with this
rose water from Chantecaille but any
setting spray, anything that would make
the brush a bit wet will do. And we're
going to use Chicago which is this color
right here and I'm going to... right there
top of any asks excess and... this I don't
so much... I don't necessarily brush, I
kind of tap it into my lid because the
color is a bit wet and I go from the
inner corner. I'm going to eventually
run it all the way into my crease but
I'm working my way up to the crease. You
want to slowly work your way up.
We'll repeat on the other eye. And then
I'm gonna take a clean blush. This is
blending besti, same company, it's a very
fluffy brush and I'm going to run that
at the edge of the metallic color to
make sure that there's no hard edges.
It's very important, this is truly a
clean brush because otherwise the lid
color will lose some of the intensity. So
now we want to give our eyes a bit more
depth. You could finish the eye look here
and will be beautiful but I do want to
create more depth into my eyes so I'm
going to take again the eye catching
crease and go back to the calabash color
and repeat the earlier process. So
I'm gonna start right here and
again follow the crease. I'm just not
gonna go all the way across, you could if
you want, just there's not a whole lot of
rights and wrongs in makeup, for the most
part. So I'm kind of just going halfway
this time, I'm covering a smaller area
and I'll do the same thing on the other
side. Then we're going to take the Miss Shady
Lady and... at any of this blending process
you could dip the brushes use for
blending into your base color if you
want. We could even dip it in this one if
you want to introduce a new color, will
be perfectly fine. but this is just a
basic beginner tutorial so we're just
gonna stay with clean brushes for
blending. So we're gonna run miss shady
lady across the heard lines but again
kind of keep it precise, don't go like
all over the eye.
And then we're gonna take seemless sheer
blend. And then at this stage I like to
highlight my brow bone. I've seen it done
at the different stages of the makeup
process. This is around the time I like
to do it. I'm gonna take pencil me
brush and I'm going to use the Germany
color which is the very light color
right here; tap again and we're going to
apply it right here. Then let's apply a
slightly darker color. Again you could
stop here if you wanted, but let's create
even more depth to the eye. And we're
gonna take again the eye catching crease
and we're going to use the darkest color
right here which is fade and we're gonna
dip it slightly... again we're gonna start
on the outer corner and cover an even
smaller area... and let's say we're just
going to do it like... let's see we're
gonna just do it right here.
You could apply more, that's really
what you prefer this is the only place
I'd apply that. Repeat on the other side and
then of course we're gonna take miss
shady brush and run it across the harsh
lines but truly keep it in a precise
manner because otherwise now you're
gonna get your makeup very muddy and do
not come across, don't run too low; so
keep it very precise right now and
gently, gently press around the eye.
And then we will take the seamless your
blend again and just in a very precise
fashion blended just a bit further. We do
want to freshen up the lid color just a
bit so we're going to take again under
the covers and go back to... what's the
color.... Chicago and just tap, yes... just come
across the eyelid, just to freshen up the
intensity of that color. Next we are
going to move to lining the eyes but
before I do that, me personally I always
curl my eyelashes. For me if my eyelashes
are curled it helps me do direct my liner
a bit better but also the eyelash curler
doesn't smudge my eyeliner. For
eyeliner there's so many options on how
to do the eyeliner, what colors to do, I'm
gonna show you what I normally use, how I
normally wear it but there's endless ways
so just do whatever you like for
eyeliner. This time I'm gonna use the
Hourglass eyeliner, it's in a very dark
brown as you're gonna see it has a
retractable tip and typically I only
like to run my eyeliner from halfway to
the outer edge. I think it kind of gives
a bit more of a lift to my eyes. And I
also like to kind of point my eyeliner a
bit more up to again give my eyes the effect of a bit of a lift. So I
place my eyeliner at the very base of my
lash line
and this is where I give my eyeliner a
bit of a lift. Typically you're supposed
to come all the way here... like one
millimeter out but it makes my
eyes look a bit droopy. Repeat it on this
side.
And now we're going to take this... is a
Sephora pro brush tapered eyeliner brush
and we're going to use the darkest color
we used on our eyelid, fade, and I'm gonna
take this brush... I do not like a very
defined eyeliner for the most part and
I'm going to run the eyeshadow kind of
over my eyeliner
and into the lashline.
Next step is to move on to mascara but
first I like to... actually we can remove these...
I'd like to use a eyelash
primer first because it makes my
eyelashes look longer and I don't like
to use fake eyelashes anymore because
they hurt my real eyelashes; I do like
how fake eyelashes look, I just don't like
what it does to my real eyelashes and I
don't want to be 50 with hardly any of
my real eyelashes left. maybe it won't
happen, I just don't take the risk. I do
know that since I stopped using fake
eyelashes my real eyelashes have gotten
very long. I am using Latisse on them. I'm
gonna do my concealer and then we're
gonna finish the under-eye part. My
concealer is on so we are going to apply
under eye eyeliner and for that I'm
gonna use two brushes. They are the sultry
smudge, so two different brushed,
exactly the same. The first one I'm going
to use a little bit of the fade color
and a little bit of the darker color we
used on the crease, kind of combine them,
tap and it's very important right now to
be very careful because your concealer
is on, you don't want to get a eyeshadow
down on... too far down your eye. So I'm
going to start on the outer edge and I'm
only gonna bring this color about
halfway. We start right here, bring it
about halfway and smudge it down just a
bit. Then we're going to take the other
sultry smudge brush. We're going to use our base color which is the calabash
and I'm going to start on the inner
corner... the way you do our makeup... the
faces we make...
We start right here and then repeat
on the other side. This color  just
flying all over, I have to be like so
careful. Now we're going to apply mascara.
I'm gonna use the Marc Jacobs mascara.
I forgot one step of eyeshadow. After you
do your eyeliner underneath your eyes,
use the pencil me in brush and come with
this color, the light color right
here which is Germany and we're going to
highlight the inner corners of the eyes.
Yes, always tap, and going to just
highlight this. Then we need to line our
waterline. I always use... I mean you
see how small it already is... it's a
brightening eye pen from
Chantecaille and use it on my waterline
right here. Can you see? Quite an effect!
The entire makeup is done. It turned out
beautifully, didn't it? And I do believe
you agree with me the process of
applying and blending eyeshadow is very
easy, the only thing it takes is practice.
The more you practice, the better you're
going to get. If you enjoyed my video,
