As much as I love the first two techniques we covered, this one is probably my FAVORITE.
I love how easy it is while still being a big impact.

Step One: Prime the lids Here I used Mac Paint Pot in Soft Ochre but I have olive/yellow under tones if you are more on the pink side use Painterly.
This is going to even out your lid, made the shadow color look more flawless and highlight your brow bone all in one.
Step Two: Grab a Medium size Crease brush and a mid to dark toned Eye Shadow (MAC Soft Brown Photographed. I found a dual ended brush that I LOVE (since the one I used in these tutorials is out! but no worries cause I actually prefer this baby)
Step three: Wipe the brush back and forth in the socket of your eyeball until it’s to your desired depth and blended. (just a few strokes)
Step four: Run the shadow under your eye at your lash line creating a halo around your eye socket.
Why I love it: It is SO quick and makes your eye color POP like crazy since it’s completely framed in shadow.
Pair it with: Always a great one to pair with a nude or baby pink lip.
Who looks fabulous in it: I always go for this one when my eyes are feeling puffy, since it contours the who eye area. It is also a great choice for anyone who wants their eyes to look bigger! If you already have dark circles this is still a great choice just be sure to get some bright highlight under the shadowed area beneath the eye, to give some contrast.
Hope your day is as lovely as you are (so EXTREMELY lovely:)

August 7, 2014 at 7:47 amThis is pretty much what I do on a daily basis! I was having trouble before though, but once I got the right kind of brush (I was using an angled brush before) it made it sooooo much easier!! it definitely makes my eyes bigger.

August 7, 2014 at 9:23 am(YOU are extremely lovely, Cara!) Could you recommend a cooler brown shade for the eye socket? When you do your eye socket, where on the eye do you begin your brush stroke? (If I begin at the outer corner, it tends to darken it so much because that part of my eye seems to be more deep set. Not sure if that makes sense- hard to describe.) Thank you, doll.

August 7, 2014 at 9:59 amThis is the technique I use most often when I want a little something extra, but don’t want to do a full smokey eye. It’s so quick and easy for everyday too.

August 7, 2014 at 1:44 pmAny mascara on your bottom lashes? Doesn’t look like there is wondering if this helps to also achieve the illusion of bigger eyes.
Thanks!
Cara
August 7, 2014 at 2:17 pmNot much! I went really easy on my lashes for eyeshadow school because I wanted just the eyeshadow alone to get the spotlight! But yes! Bottom Lashes make your eyes look twice the size!!

August 7, 2014 at 3:18 pmI really like this look… Unfortunately is not for me, I have a very obvious crease and extremely dark circles, I mean really, really dark, almost black 🙁 An my lids are super dark too, It’s like I always been wearing brown eyeshadow… I look like a racoon when I’m not wearing makeup. Could you please make a tutorial on how to cover extremely dark circles? Thank you!
Cara
August 7, 2014 at 4:46 pmYou bet! Question first, are your circles puffy or sunken or just dark?
Nilda
August 7, 2014 at 5:24 pmNo puffy, no bags. I don’t know the difference between sunken and dark, but they are super dark and you can see exactly where the skin color change near the nose, like middle east women.
Thank you!!

August 7, 2014 at 7:37 pmWhen you say shade in your socket… Do you mean do the windshield wiper move? I’m one of the eyeshadow impaired and I’m not sure what you mean by shade in your socket… Love your blog!

August 8, 2014 at 4:16 pmCan you suggest colors for blondes besides browns? For some reason I don’t like browns on my eyes. Thanks in advance.
lynda
August 8, 2014 at 4:21 pmAlso, are there some people that shouldn’t wear glimmery/sparkly shadows? I’ve always hated them on me, but I like them on other people.

Oh, really like this makeup! Lightweight, and will hide all the flaws, suitable as a base for every day. Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. When applying makeup, I usually use only puff https://foreverpuff.com/ . They are of different sizes, which is very convenient!
