Beginners Guide To Applying Eyeshadow With L.A Girl Cosmetics

Are you one of those people who watch makeup tutorials in awe as beauty makeup vloggers create mesmerizing looks?
Are you also one of those people who aspire to create these looks but failed helplessly?

I’m no makeup artist and have zero affinity for the craft of makeup application, however, in my quest to be better at applying makeup, I’ve searched and accordingly found hacks to simplify the process – much like your “makeup for dummies” tutorial, but nevertheless it works.

In this post I will specifically simplify the method of applying eyeshadow using cruelty free makeup brand –  LA Girl Cosmetics.

Eyeshadow elevates your makeup look, accentuates your features and frames your eyes.
I normally skip the eyeshadow step, by rather applying blush on my eyelids, until I took the time to find an easy and effective way to apply eyeshadow that I had to share with you.

You’ll be delighted to know that you don’t require a multitude of makeup brushes and eye makeup in order to achieve this look.

L.A Girl Cosmetics offers eyeshadow palettes of different hues, suited your eye color or if you desire, your outfit of the day.

For this tutorial I used the LA Girl Eye Lux Mesmerizing Glamorize eyeshadow palette.

Total Time For Application: 5 minutes

The Makeup Items You Will Need:

1. An eyeshadow palette consisting of two similar colors: one light and one dark
2. Highlighter – for this tutorial I used the LA Girl Cosmetics Strobe Lite Strobing Powder in 50 Watt
3. Three eye makeup brushes: (find brushes that you are able to use, recommended brushes may not work for you, especially if you are a beginner)
4. • Small brush to apply highlighter,
5. • Flat angled brush for eyelid and
6. • Blender eyeshadow brush

How To:

1. Apply highlighter to the brow bone and inner corner of the eye
2. Run over the lighter shade of eyeshadow on your lid and the remainder above your lid, all the way to where you applied your highlighter – this is your transition shade. If you want your highlighter to pop, apply your highlighter after you apply the transition shade.
3. Take the darker colored eyeshadow and apply to the outer corner and crease
4. Blend the darker eyeshadow

And viola! Your eye makeup is ready to be flaunted, perfect for your daily makeup look.
Complete your look with eyeliner and mascara.
