A twist for the naturals

How many of you have the same natural look everyday?  Are you tired of just wearing the same light and dark brown's together? A couple of you have requested on how to add some color to your natural everyday look.  I'm going to show you a easy look, by just adding purple to the brown. Keep in mind you can do the same look with blue, green, and gold. 



I will be using Kat Von D's True Romance Palette




First I prime my eye lid with Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer potion.
A eye primer is a MUST! It is a sheer base that you apply before your eyeshadow. It helps glide the eyeshadow easier and makes the eyeshadow more vibrant with absolutely no creasing.




Apply a dark brown on your crease and blend upwards.






Apply a purple color on your lid.




Blend the purple & the brown together in the crease. 
I use a soft dome brush to blend.

Add a light cream color under your eyebrow and blend a little into the brown to cover the line.



For more of a eye popping effect add the brown on the outer corner under your eye and the cream on the inner corner. I also used a bronze eyeliner and a black gel eyeliner on my water line.
You can also use a brown eyeliner. For a more fun bold look, add the same color eyeliner as your eyeshadow.






Add mascara!






To complete the look wear a light bronze or natural color blush and a neutral lip liner and nude lip gloss or lipstick.


I hope this was helpful. Let me know if you try this look. Take a pix & send it to me on facebook. I'd love to see!!!

***Don't be afraid to add some color to your everyday look.
