Hi guys!
I'm Maryam.
I'm super excited to be back on my channel
with another video tutorial.
Since my last video, I've gotten a lot of
requests from you on my social media pages
and the most popular look that you guys requested
was actually one that I posted on Snapchat
a few days ago.
I showed a progression from no makeup to the
look that I'm wearing today.
And you guys liked it, you wanted to see the
eye look in action on my YouTube channel,
so here it is!
This look has sort of become my every day
go-to.
I wear it everywhere from a business meeting
with a brand to a dinner with friends.
It's really easy to put together, it's fresh
and trendy, it makes me feel really good and
I hope it does the same for you.
So let me show you how to get it.
For the first step I'm gonna be using this
beautiful brown shade.
I've already applied my primer onto my lid
and I did it off camera just for the sake
of time.
And now I'm gonna start working that shadow
onto the outer edge of my crease.
And if you notice I'm holding my brush a little
bit differently, I'm not holding the traditional
perpendicular way.
I'm keeping it kind of on its' side because
I want to maximize the color and I want to
hit a larger area.
This actually saves time and makes the eyes
look bigger and more dramatic.
Next I'm taking a clean, stiff fluffy brush
and I'm just diffusing the edges.
Then with the same brush I'm picking up this
cool nude shadow from the same palette and
I'm applying this shade to the inner portion
of the crease ever so gently.
And I'm continuing to diffuse the brown shadow
using windshield wiper motions and small circular
motions.
And if you feel like you've diffused or you've
removed too much of that brown, you can just
go back and add a little bit more to that
outer corner.
And again I'm keeping the brush on its' side,
just to cover a larger area.
And then once again you want to diffuse.
Next I'm taking the deepest shade onto a small,
fluffy brush.
I'm applying that shade to the very outer
corner of the crease, sort of in the V-shape
like this.
And then I'm gonna open the eye and I'm literally
gonna apply over the crease.
This is a trick for hooded eyes to really
open up and elongate that shape.
So you're creating shadow where there otherwise
wouldn't be one.
This is a trick that I'd been using for years.
Of course you want to blend everything to
make sure it's seamless and smooth, like that.
Now pick up the lightest shade with a flat
eye shadow brush, and apply it to your lid
using patting motions.
Just keep packing it on, it doesn't even have
to be super bright.
Just a subtle touch, like this.
Now to make the eye bigger and brighter, I
like to line directly underneath.
I don't go too far in, I finish exactly where
my lower lashes end, about right here.
And I just shade gently, no harsh lines, just
soft and maybe wing it out a little.
And if you want you can diffuse it some more
with the brush, just use whatever remainder
shade was on it, I think it was the deepest
brown and just blend it out some more.
For the lid I'm gonna be using this pearly
shade.
It's called 'Oyster Shell' and it's by LA's
Flash Cosmetics.
This is a loose shimmer powder so I like to
put my finger underneath just to catch any
fallout.
I'm just packing it on to the center of the
lid.
Do you see how bright and pigmented that is?
It's still very wearable though because it's
light, and it's reflective...
It's great for daytime.
Also applying some to the inner corner.
And directly below the tear duct.
This is also kind of a nice brittle color.
Very pretty and princess-y.
And now for my liner application I'm gonna
be using a fat chunky marker type liner.
This one's by Cargo, it's called Texas Liner
and I love it solely for the name.
And so I'm lining my eye kind of heavily.
I'm keeping the line thick throughout.
And then I'm gonna take a smaller liner.
Maybe something like this by Motives, or this
one by Alcone.
I'm gonna use the Alcone one because it's
a very similar consistency to the Cargo liner.
And with this liner I'm actually going to
etch out the wing.
Make it nice and perfect, that outer corner.
There we go.
And then I'm gonna add my twiggies as always.
This is a great trick for those of you who
don't have a lot of bottom lashes, or if yours
are sparsed like mine.
Just place them in those areas where you're
lacking and then apply mascara on top.
And these lines will be masqueraded beautifully.
I'm using Tart Lights, Camera, Flashes mascara.
I like it because it's chunky and it makes
the lashes much more visible than before.
And now I know you may still see my little
twiggies, my little fake drawn lashes, but
trust me no one is gonna be getting that close
to your eye, and from far away once I zoom
out you'll see that they are not even noticeable.
And this is how my apply my falsies.
I'm using House of Lashes glue which is my
favorite, it's excellent.
I've got this little brush that you can put
right along the wand and you can just wait
for it to dry a little bit, to get tacky and
apply it!
So once the glue has gotten tacky, you want
to just use dull tweezers and you wanna apply
to the center, then secure the outer, and
the inner portion of the lash band.
And if you're applying with tweezers, it's
particularly easy because then you can kind
of glue your lashes to the false lashes by
pressing them together like so.
And to complete my bright eye application,
I'm gonna apply this nude pencil right into
my waterline.
I think white is a bit too harsh, but nude
is perfect.
And that's it for the tutorial.
Super simple and easy, I'm sure you can recreate
it.
So definitely send me your looks on my Instagram
and on my Facebook.
I'll see you on Snapchat.
Thank you so much for watching, see you guys
soon.
Bye!
