Neutral Eye Makeup With Sparkle Tutorial

Welcome to my first-ever eye makeup tutorial! I decided I wanted to do a nice neutral eye with some sparkle and a red lip, so I created this using only shadows from the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette.

Step One

Apply the shade "Salted Caramel" to the crease. Make sure to get it all across the crease and blend it well.

Step Two

Pack the shade "Marzipan" onto the lid. It gives a very nice shimmer.

Step Three

Apply "Champagne Truffle" to the inner corner and brow bone.

Step Four

Apply "Creme Brulee" to the outer corner of the lid. This adds both dimension and more shimmer.

Step Five

Blend, blend, blend! This softens the look and gets rid of any harsh lines.

Step Six

Add winged liner using NYC's liquid eyeliner in black. Mine isn't perfect, but I figured that the more I tried to fix it, the worse it would end up.

Step Seven

Curl your lashes and apply Covergirl's Super Sizer mascara to both top and bottom lashes. Curling is optional, but I prefer how it looks

Optional: A Red Lip

If you want to, you can apply e.l.f.'s lip stain in Hot Tamale to complete the look.

If you want to, you can apply an eye shadow primer at the beginning as well. This will help the look last longer and not crease as quickly.

Lipstick Review

NYC Expert Last Lip Color Review

A while back, I noticed my lack of pink lipsticks at the time, so I went to pick one up. I also saw a red one and fell in love with it, so I purchased both.

Here they are - the NYC Expert Last Lip Colors in Traffic Jam (the red) and Forever Fuchsia (the pink). They cost $1.99 USD and you can get them here.

This is the amount of product you get - 3.2 grams. I've used a little bit of it, but this is pretty much the amount you get. The website claims that they last at least 6 hours, and I find that to be true, especially if you wear a lip liner. They're pretty easy to apply and somewhat creamy. They aren't too drying as long as you wear them for less than three or four hours, and they don't tend to feather much.

Here's Traffic Jam on my lips. It's a very pretty warm red. It has a semi-matte finish.

Here is Forever Fuchsia on my lips. It's almost a "barbie-pink," but not quite purple enough. It's also semi-matte, but a bit more matte than Traffic Jam.
