Quick and easy, everyday eye makeup: tutorial

So, this is is a simple look for everyday. It's pretty, it takes about 5 - 10 minutes, and it's only 5 steps.

Step 1
The first step is eye shadow, and I used an eye shadow base under the eye shadow.  I'm only using one color, which is a matte grey (I really like matte eye shadows, you can use shimmery if you would like), and it's from my BH Cosmetics palette.  It looks like this 

  

This is what it looks like on



Step 2

The second thing I do is tight line my top lash line, but not the bottom.  You go under your eye lashes with the eyeliner.  If you don't usually tight line your eyelashes, you will probably blink a lot, and it might be uncomfortable. 
Here is what it looks like 



Step 3

Put liquid eye liner on top, but don't go all the way to the inner corner of your eye.  keep the eyeliner thicker towards the outside corner, and thinner towards the inside, because having more eyeliner on the outside, and have less or, none on the inside opens up the eyes.  Don't put any liquid eyeliner on the bottom.



Step 4

Line your bottom lashes with pencil eyeliner.  I like to smudge mine a little, but you don't have to.



Step 5

Curl your top eye lashes, and put mascara on your top and bottom lashes.  Don't put too much on the bottom, and don't make your bottom eyelashes have as much volume as your top eyelashes. 
 The mascaras I used are Lash Stiletto by Maybelline, Falsies Flared by Maybelline, and The Rocket by Maybelline, and i used them in that order.




Step 6 (optional)

To finish this look, you can wear any type of pretty, shiny, lip gloss, but make sure its not too bold, because you're already wearing eye shadow.  With this eye makeup, I like to wear a frosty pink lip gloss.



Some tips that I mentioned in this tutorial are:

Keep majority of the eyeliner on the outside corner of the eye

To make the eyes look bright and open, don't put any eyeliner on the inner corner, on the top or bottom

Keep your top eyelashes more voluminous than your bottom eyelashes



Enjoy!
