Easy Makeup Look: Taupe eyes and Rosy Lips

Hello, lovelies!

Today I want to share with you a quick makeup look that is pretty quick and easy to do. It's not a no-makeup makeup type of look, but I think this look is great to try out if you want to try wearing deeper colored eye looks and you want to veer away from the typical eyeliner-lipstick-only kind of makeup. 

Taupe and Rose FOTD

Notice how the taupe eyeshadow isn't particularly bold or dramatic. If you want to start wearing darker colors on your eyes, you may want to start with neutral shades first. Taupe is an awesome color to try out since it's universally flattering but it is different enough from brown that it stands out. 

For this look, I used the following products:

Taupe and Rose FOTD face products used

Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation in 130 True Ivory

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Hard Candy Fox in a Box Blush in Hot Flash

Elf Eyebrow kit in Medium

Fashion 21 Duo Eye Enhancer in Honey Blonde

Elf Eye Primer and Liner Sealer

Revlon PhotoReady Concealer in 002 Light

Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer in 3 Medium

Maybelline White Superfresh Long Lasting Cake Powder in 04 Honey

Loreal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara in Carbon Black

Coastal Scents Revealed Palette

Milani Liquid Eye Eyeliner in Black

Loreal Paris Color Riche Lipcolour in R401 Flirty Berry

The makeup look itself if really quick and easy. Go ahead and apply your face makeup as per usual, do your brows the way you like them, and then all you have to do is sweep on a good amount of taupey eyeshadow on your eyelids below your crease area and blend, blend, and blend like crazy. 

You want to focus most of the taupey shade in your crease area so the shadow looks darker there and it defines your eyes more.

Tip: Make sure that you blend your shadow only until the crease area so that it won't turn out too too dramatic and bold. (unless that's the look you're going for) Use a clean, bare brush to blend if you're new to blending. ;)

After putting on your eyeshadow, just line your lids with eyeliner, pop on some blush and mascara and you're good to go. Easy peasy. 

Here's a better look.

That wraps it up, folks! What do you think? Will you try out this makeup look? ;)
