- Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to another episode of "Beauty in Five Minutes".
My name's Megan and today I'm going to be showing you
how to achieve a five minute eyeshadow look.
Ready, set, go!
The palette that we are gonna be using today
is the Soft Glam palette.
All you're really gonna need is a bronzer,
a highlighting shade,
and two to three shadow brushes.
Now the brushes that we're gonna be using today
is just a fluffy brush which looks like this.
This one I believe is Inika.
I've used it so much that the branding has come off.
We'll then just going to be using
a tiny little detailed brush.
This one is the MAC 239S brush.
And this is like a nice to have but not an essential.
This is the Bobbi Brown Eye Sweep.
So first things first,
I'm just going to prime my eyelids
so that they don't get creasy throughout the day or night.
Just try to choose more of a mattifying one
because your eyelids are quite an oily space.
Today I'm gonna be using a cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye.
Now this concealer is super highly pigmented
and a little bit goes a long way.
So just making sure that you've spread
that concealer nicely.
While the concealer is still sort of tacky,
I'm just going to grab a powder
and we're just gonna set that.
I'm just gonna use the Bobbi Brown
Sheer Finish Press Powder
and this is where I'm using the Bobbi Brown Eye Sweep.
This sort of brush.
If you don't have something like this at home,
you can always just use your larger powder brush.
So we're just going to go in and set the lids.
Now by setting the lids,
I just find that then when we do go in with eyeshadow,
it just allows the shadows to blend in seamlessly.
You can either go in with a eyeshadow palette
or you can do what I like to do
and I literally just use my bronzer
as my first shadow shade which is the transition shade.
So we're gonna go in with that nice fluffy blender brush
and I'm just gonna use Hoola by Benefit today
but you can use whichever bronzer you like.
We're gonna tap into the product
and then I'd just like to tap off some of the excess
so that you don't get fallout.
Try not to tap your brush onto your bathroom vanity
or a table because it can loosen the hairs.
We're going to grab the brush
and we're going to push it just into that little crevice
which sits underneath your brow bone
and you're just going to push
right into that little socket area
and then you're just going to do
little windshield wipe of motions.
I'm just going to go in with a slight bit more powder
just that I can build that up.
I'm not really taking it up.
I'm not really taking it onto the mobile lid which is here.
I'm just keeping it in that socket area.
The thing that you have to remember
when it comes to eyeshadow is blending is key.
So you don't want any harsh lines
and you don't wanna really be able to tell
where your shadow stops and starts.
So if I wanted to use a lighter shade,
I would go for something like Orange Soda,
which is just there.
So I'm just going to use a mix of both Orange Soda
and Tempera
and I'm just going to place them
just above the transition shade
so that we have a really nice seamless blend.
That's pretty much it for an everyday look.
The only other step that I would would do
is I would go in with a bit of a brow bone highlight
'cause I love that look.
Today I'm going to go in with a little bit of Glistening,
which is up here.
This is a highly pigmented shade
and I'm going to take it
onto this little detailed brush here
which is the MAC 239S.
Now the reason why I like to highlight my brow bone
is I just feel like it gives the eye area
a little bit of dimension
and it also helps to, I guess, draw attention to my brows.
So I would just leave my eye look there
and just go straight in
with a little bit of liner or mascara.
If you did wanna add a shade to the mobile lid,
you definitely could.
If you're feeling like you wanna be a little bit shimmery,
you could go in with something like Fairy or Glistening
or whatever shade you wanted to do.
But I think I'm gonna keep it more matte
for an everyday look.
I'm just gonna go in with Tempera
and I'm just going to really gently pack that on
to my mobile lid
and we're just going to press that along the lash line.
I will show you one more add-on if you did want to,
I guess, add a little bit more definition around the eye.
So we're just going to go into this shade here
which is Rustic.
For this shade, we're looking for anything
that is one to two shades darker than your transition shade
that we used at the start.
And again, just using a nice little fine brush like this.
We're just going to create a tiny, tiny little V
along the lash line
and then up towards our little eye socket
to create a little bit of definition on the outer eye.
(gentle music)
And then you can just grab any fluffy brush
and you're just gonna buff out that last shade.
And the way that I like to buff is just
in round little windshield wipe of motions.
So we're not gonna buff all the way up to here
into our brow bone.
We're just gonna keep it nice and low along the lash line.
And as you can see,
that has just created a bit more smokey drama.
You can apply this technique to any shade range.
So if you wanted to do this look with purple hues,
with pink hues, with bronzey hues,
you could do that too.
Just use the exact same techniques
on any shades that you like.
Okay, so I've just popped some mascara onto the top lashes.
I'm just going to smoke up a little bit underneath our eyes.
Just so that we're not too top heavy,
let's balance everything out.
I'm again just going to take that little detailed brush
that we used earlier on
and I'm going to dip into Hoola.
Take a little bit of product 'cause we don't want too much.
And I'm just going to push that
right underneath my lower lash line
and then we're just going to shimmy the brush
across our lower lashes.
If you feel like this is a little bit too dramatic
for your eye look,
you could just go in with a shade
that's even lighter than your transition colour
or you could just pop on some mascara and call it a day.
I'm just gonna pop on some mascara
to the bottom of my eyes now.
I think I can take out my little elf ears now.
So let's just do a quick recap
'cause there were a few steps there.
So step number one, prime the eyelids.
You can do this with an eyeshadow primer
or just use a mattifying concealer.
Two, set that concealer with some powder.
Three, grab a fluffy brush
and use a transition shade through your socket.
Four, use a lighter shade to buff out
that transition colour.
Five, let's highlight the brow bone.
Six, you can add a pop of colour or vibrancy
onto your mobile lid.
And optional, step number seven,
you can go deeper on the outer half of your eye
by adding a little bit of smokey dimension.
And last but not least, step number eight,
you can smoke up your bottom lash line if you wish to.
Thanks so much for joining me today.
