O'Natural - Eye shadow

So, I've bin wanting to do an eye tutorial like post for a while now but to be honest I'm by far not the best at applying eye make-up. Its something I really want to be good at so I'm taking the phrase 'practise makes perfect' under my wing and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I started by just watching videos on YouTube and step by step I taught myself. I'm still no eye make-up fanatic but I'm a lot better then I was. This is a small tutorial of a sort of natural look I created and wear every day.
Modelled by Leia Barlow @ leiajadebarlow.blogspot.co.uk.

 Products I used.

Due to the fact that Leia and I are only in our early teens we don't usually apply foundation on a day-to-day basis, simply because we don't really need that much coverage (if we do feel like we need any we use concealer). Anyway the primers that we both own all have a tint to them that we didn't really want so instead of primer we used creamy eye shadow. Which in my opinion is just as good. After that I used a slightly pink eye shadow from my 'The Colour Workshop' pallet and applied it to Leia's brow bone. Then using a smudger brush I applied to Leia's lid a cream colour with a slight shimmer from my Technic pallet, I covered the whole lid with this. Using the other side of my smudger I selected a copper colour from the same Technic pallet and applied that to the outer corner of Leia's eye, I went slightly higher then the cream colour and overlapped the cream a bit at the top. 

This is what Leia's eyes looked like at this stage 

Next using a blending brush I blended the two colours together, where they meet in the middle and blended the copper colour out at the corners, I did this so that Leia's eyes didn't look so 'block like' and that they looked a lot smoother and faded. 

Leia's eyes after blending, I think it looks not as bold but still effective.

Finally I filled in Leia's eyebrows with a dark brown eye brow cake, applied liquid liner to her top eyelid, curled her eyelashes then applied mascara. Just to finish it all off. 

Leia's finished look.
