Natural eye makeup looks are elegant and soft. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of it though, wearing natural eye makeup can create a statement as well. Placing it with the right touch of textures, colors, and technique will enhance your daily routine. These natural eye makeup looks are far from boring. Ditch your basic palettes and give these looks a try for your next date night or if it’s for a another day in the office!
A common myth about the smokey eye is that it needs to be dark and requires 5-10 colors. This is untrue. You actually need a minimum of one color and need to diffuse it from the lid to the brow. Smoking it out with this Make Up Forever matte eye shadow in “Pink Brown” is amazing. The warm undertones give the illusion you have more than one eye shadow on. Pro tip: use a fluffy blending brush.

Try out this Eyeko Black Magic Mascara, the brush offers a curve to fit every eye shape.
