Quick and Easy Neutral to Colour Makeup Tutorial

By Beautyandthecheap @beautynthecheap
Hey guys, I've been wanting to do a tutorial for a while now and it really has been so long! I was busy with classes and had to keep delaying editing images. >.<
But finally I've got the chance to do a tutorial for a look that I did in one of the shoot I worked in.  I had initially done a neutral eye using my Urban Decay Naked palette. Yes! I FINALLY GOT ONE! And I will review it soon if you're interested!
Anyway, so I had to change up the look later for the second part of the shoot and I didn't have much time so this is what I came up with:

That image i a bit small but basically I added some purple, green and gold to the eyes and changed the lips. Took me all of 15 minutes really with other touch ups!This is a great way to do up your makeup from day to night or when you're in a hurry.
All you need is:
  • A neutral palette for the neutral day look. (Maybelline Chai Latte or Revlon Copper Spice are good options.)
  • Any coloured long lasting eye pencils. I used Faces Longwear. (Colorbar I-Glides or Ikonic are also good!)
  • Black and white pencils if you want
  • Mascara and fake lashes (optional)
  • Smudger brush/ qtips
Step 1:Start with whatever neutral eye makeup you want, it can even be just a wash of a neutral shimmer or gold color. I'm going to roughly replicate what I did for my model:

Step 2:I applied a purple eye pencil from Faces to my outer V and lower lid.

Step 3:Use a qtip or smudger/ pencil brush to blend out the edges. Remember to work fast since long lasting pencils set super fast! D:
Step 4:Now, you can leave it at just one color but for this look I used green as well on the upper lid.

Step 5:Smudge it up GOOOD! Lol!

Just keep repeating the two steps till you have something you're happy with! ^_^
Final look:


I used a little white pencil on the inner corner too. ^_^Easy eh?
I hope this tutorial helped you a bit, I feel like it is a bit redundant but I'm sure you'll be able to use it in a hurry. I also did this tutorial for girls who have a hard time with makeup and are just beginning. Most girls don't have colours in eyeshadow but are bound to have some color pencils right? ^u^
