- Hey everyone,
and welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Amelia.
In today's video,
I'm gonna be showing you how to use everything
in your eyeshadow palette.
Obviously, you don't have to use these palettes.
You can use any one that you have.
So a lotta the time,
we'll buy an eyeshadow palette
because we maybe like a certain combination of colours.
We like a few colours in there,
but usually, there's one or two shades or textures
that we're not that likely to use.
The eyeshadow palette that I've picked to use today
is the NORVINA palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills.
This has a lot of really fun, purplely, pinky shades.
Some pastels, some shimmers and some mattes.
So I thought it would be fun to experiment with that
and how to use them on my face without
just whacking them on my eyes.
And then the other palette that I'm going to use
is my Ride or Die Soft Glam.
This is definitely more of
an everyday eyeshadow palette for me,
even though it's just like one colour
that I wear or two colours max.
Let's start on the complexion first.
So I'm gonna use the shade "Incense"
which is this one here,
and I'm actually gonna use it as a contour.
I always contour my nose and my cheeks
when I'm doing a full glam look.
Let's take a little bit on a brush.
(soft music)
So that's my nose contour done.
What I'm gonna do now
is actually use another shade called "Eccentric"
which is this one here.
And it's again,
another neutral shade,
but it is a little bit warmer
than the first shade "Incense"
and I'm gonna use that as a bronzer.
So what I'm doing is basically going for the neutral shades
and I'm gonna use them as complexion colours.
And then we're gonna play it
with the more vibrant colours on the eyes.
(soft music)
So that's given me some really nice colour,
and now we're gonna go on with blush.
And the shade that I'm gonna use
is this really pretty pink shade
in the middle called "Love."
So we are gonna take a blush brush
and I am tapping off the excess onto my hand
so that I don't go in with too much pigment.
I find that eyeshadow palettes
are generally a lot more pigmented
than, like, a bronzer or a blush might be.
Lashes in their palette.
Sometimes, they're a little bit more sheer
whereas the eyeshadow palettes can be
a little bit more full on.
So you just wanna go light
and then build it up.
(soft music)
So then, I'm going to have some fun with the shimmers.
And I'm actually going to take
this one here called "Wild Child."
(soft music)
And I'm going to use it as a blush topper.
So I'm actually gonna put it
on top of where I applied blush,
and it's gonna give me a really nice highlight.
And I'm only gonna pop it on this side
so that we can play with Soft Glam
on the other side of my face.
So you're taking "Wild Child" on the blush brush.
(soft music)
And you don't need to put it exactly
on where you've applied the blush,
you can pop it just like in a highlight area,
or you can just do what I've done.
So then, now, let's go on to the eye colours.
I'm gonna use the shade "Soul"
which is this one here.
And it's a really pretty sort of periwinkle blue shade.
So you can always use your fingers to apply eyeshadow,
there's zero rules,
or you can use a brush like I'm gonna do.
So I'm just using a fluffy brush.
Just taking that colour.
(soft music)
I haven't prepped my lids with anything.
I don't have an eyeshadow primer on
or concealer or anything like that.
I'm just going straight onto the skin.
If your eyelids are more on the oily side
or you find that your eyeshadows tend to move a little bit,
then I would go in with an eyeshadow primer first.
(soft music)
Now, we're going to take the shade "Celestial"
and I'm just going to use my finger,
and I'm gonna pop it into the inner corner of the eyes.
(soft music)
And then, just taking it up a little bit.
And if you've put too much on,
that's okay, you can just clean it up with a little bit
of micellar water and concealer.
I'm gonna leave it,
just 'cause I think it's a little bit fun.
Another way to play with a shade
that I wouldn't normally wear
is to turn it into an eyeliner.
So I will use this Napoleon Perdis product
and this is their Pro Power Eyeliner Sealer.
And this will help to turn any powder product,
it's like an eyeshadow or a blush into a liquid.
I'm gonna use one more eyeshadow colour, actually.
Let's use the shade "Summer"
this one here, the gold.
And we're just gonna pat it through the centre of the lid
and we're gonna take it up a little bit higher.
(soft music)
And that creates a little bit of dimension on the eyes.
(soft music)
And then while we're here,
we're just gonna use one of the lighter shades
in the shade "Dreamer."
And I'm just gonna put it,
(brush tapping)
right here as a highlight.
This is just a really fun way
to get the most out of your eyeshadow palettes
and to kind of be a little bit more experimental,
have more fun with the colours that you have,
get outta your comfort zone
and not waste these beautiful eyeshadows.
Now, let's move on to Soft Glam.
Obviously, I've done the contour and blush.
Let's do this colour here, "Rose Pink."
And let's use that as, like, a blush topper.
(soft music)
And that has completely changed the blush colour.
So I'm gonna play with the black shade called "Noir"
and we're gonna use that as an eyeliner.
So I'm going to take this guy from Napoleon
and you can either scrape out your eyeshadow
with a little spatula or your brush.
And pop it onto a palette,
mixing palette,
or the back of your hand or a mirror,
whatever you have.
Or you can drop it into the palette like I'm going to do.
You can also use,
like, any of the shades that match your hair colour
to fill in your brows.
I have done that before
when I've forgotten a brow product.
I've just used an eyeshadow and an angled brush
and I've just filled in my brows.
So actually, let's do that now,
so you can see.
So I'm just taking the 7B Brush from Anastasia
and we are gonna take the shade "Cyprus Umber."
I'm gonna mix a little bit of the black with it
to cool it down.
(soft music)
See, so it really softly filled it in.
Also, if you're like me,
and you have a little bit of,
like, not bald spots,
but just, you know, like, those little bits
that don't have as much hair in them
and you kind of wanted to make your hairline look more full.
(brush thuds)
You can take a brush,
pick a shade that matches,
tap off the excess,
and then you can just fill in the hairline.
(soft music)
So now, let's move on to the gold shade.
Let's have some fun with that.
(brush thuds)
So let's take this guy,
and I'm gonna pop a little bit into the eyeshadow.
I'm just doing one drop
because I just wanna start small
and see how it go.
An eyeshadow brush,
nice and thin one.
(soft music)
Started to have a little bit of,
like, a creamy texture to it.
(soft music)
I mean, look, we're really testing my skills here.
I'm not very creative when (chuckles)
it comes to doing little designs on my face.
I'm just trying to do maybe, like, little stars.
(makeup thuds)
I have no idea.
But that's why it's fun,
because you can just experiment
and do whatever you like.
Like, you could do dots if you wanted to,
you could do little love hearts.
(soft music)
You get the idea,
just draw whatever you like on your face.
Now, let's move on to the black eyeliner.
So I popped a little bit of the Eyeliner Sealer
into my Soft Glam palette,
and I just took my brush
and mixed it around a little bit.
(soft music)
My camera's dying.
So this is just,
you know, as complicated as it's gonna get. (chuckles)
(soft music)
A bit random.
(soft music)
But that's it,
so let's wrap this video up before my camera dies again.
But those are some fun ways
to get the most out of your eyeshadow palettes.
So let's quickly go through some of the tips again.
So you can use your palette as a bronzer.
You can use it as a contour,
a blush, a highlighter.
You can use it as a brow powder,
an eyeliner.
You can use it as a cheek topper
an eyeshadow, obviously.
Have fun with the colours,
have fun with the textures
and at the end of the day,
just remember that it is makeup.
So if you make a mistake or you hate it,
you can always clean it off.
So that's it!
I hope you guys got some cool tips
and tricks out of this video.
I hope you enjoyed watching me badly draw on a star.
(Amelia chuckles)
I will see you in another video soon.
Take care, bye.
