How would I recreate this eye makeup?

I assume it is quite simple. Obviously mascara, but is there only one colour of eyeshadow? What colour should I use and where should I apply it? Is there any eyeliner here? I'm rubbish at this stuff so explaining as though you are talking to an idiot would be useful Grin

There 3 shadows. One all over the lid, a darker one through the crease and underneath the eye, and a lighter slightly shimmery shade just tapped onto the centre of the lid, above the pupils and lighting in the inner corner.

There is liner but it's quite thin, really pushed into the lashes and mainly on the outer edge. No flick of any kind, mainly to just make lashes look thicker and the look have more depth.

*lightly in the inner corners.

Thanks for that. When you say the darker colour is in the crease and underneath, what exactly do you mean by crease? I struggle with that bit because my 'crease' is different to others. What colours would you recommend to do this? I don't want anything too dark, would like to look fairly natural. Would the liner be ok as a very thin line of liquid?

I've just had an LVL lash lift - but like a perm.
And dyed black and with mascara my
Lashes look really long and go upwards.

She had a gold/nude eyeshadow too

If you feel your eyelid, where your browbone stops, the crease is just underneath there. You want to run the darkest colour just in a line there from the outer edge towards your nose, make sure the colours are blended well. Light peachy brown colours would be perfect as would a thin bit of liquid liner (although I think gel might be better).

If you're unsure I basically learned everything from watching YouTube videos (Lisa Eldridge ones in particular). She has a few similar but not exactly the same videos, I'll have a look and post some links.

I think photoshop helps a lot as well. I've never seen anyone actually look like that.

Haha yes, I unfortunately ywon't be able to photoshop my face like that. I have been looking for a tutorial for eye makeup which is fairly neutral for a wedding, but lots of them seem to feature quite heavy eyeliner, cat eye looks and all sorts. It's not what I want. I had a bit of makeup put on yesterday at the Estée Lauder counter and when I came back I did heavier eyeliner on one and very minimal in the lash line on the other, similar to that. The second one looked so much better. Will take a look at those videos later on, thanks.

You can get that look with just one cream eyeshadow pencil.
Rimmel Scandaleyes is a good quality and reasonably priced.

Draw a line on the top lid, smudge, a bit under the eye, but only a bit, smudge and you're done.

Some mascara if you wish.

The model has some eyeliner.

if you want some, you can use a coffee or brown coloured one. Clinique has Quickliner for eye, easy to use.
