Mastering Natural Matte Brown Smokey Eyes: A Step-by-Step Tutorial


Introduction:

In an insightful and engaging YouTube video, famed beauty guru Alexia Cooper takes us on a tour through her signature everyday glam look. Leveraging her wealth of beauty knowledge, she breaks down the process to a simple, repeatable routine that anyone can emulate at home. Prepare to delve into a world of seamless blending, highlighter magic, and the secret to achieving that ‘lit-from-within’ glow.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. First off, Alexia stresses the importance of starting with a clean, prepped face. Use a gentle cleanser, toner, and, most importantly, a hydrating moisturizer before leaning into makeup application.

2. She then moves onto the foundation, using her beloved beauty blender to apply it evenly across her face. Her mantra is less is more – start with a light layer and build up if needed, focusing on areas with discoloration or blemishes.

3. Next comes the contouring, where she sweeps bronzer along the hollows of her cheeks, jawline, and temples. Her technique of blending upwards towards her hairline gives a natural-looking shadow and lift.

4. The eyes are all about seamless blending of three eyeshadow shades – a base, a crease color, and a corner highlight.

5. After the eyes, she moves onto mascara and eyeliner, giving numerous tips on how to get that perfect wing and voluminous lashes without using false ones.

6. Finally, after completing the eyes, lips, and base, she introduces her secret weapon – the highlighter. She swipes it on the cheekbones, the tip of the nose, and the cupid’s bow for that fresh glow.

Key Tips and Advice:

Among Alexia’s plethora of tips, her advice to perform eye makeup with open eyes stands out. This prevents uneven application and enhances the blending process. She also emphasizes the importance of knowing your face shape for effective contouring. Another key takeaway is her technique of using damp beauty blenders which result in a flawless, dewy finish.

Conclusion:

Alexia’s tutorial communicates the power of makeup in accentuating natural beauty rather than masking it. The secret is mastering the basics and understanding that great makeup begins with a healthy base. Alexia encourages her viewers to experiment, find what works best for them, and remember that makeup is an avenue for self-expression.

Product and Tool Listing:

In this tutorial, Alexia uses the following:
– Foundation: Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation – A full-coverage foundation that gives a flawless finish.
– Eyeshadow: Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette – Provides pigmented shades for versatile looks.
– Mascara: Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Lengthening Mascara – Delivers lengthy, voluminous lashes.

Experience the joy and artistry of makeup through this informative and empowering tutorial. So, gear up, dig into your makeup bag, and let’s paint some beauty!

    Why don’t you point at the color on the pallette? It’s hard to see which one you’re choosing..

  • Posted June 10, 2024 11:55 am
    by @susanolson9151

    Looks amazing. Would like it if you pointed to the color in the palette that you are going to use and say if it's a shimmer or matte. That lid color is beautiful, but I'm not sure which one it was. Thank you!
