We’ve all been there—scrolling through our Instagram feeds, pausing to admire the new photos from our favorite social media personalities, zooming in at their stellar makeup looks, and feeling dejected at the thought of being unable to achieve that ourselves.
How do they make it look so effortless? The answer to that question often seems like something reserved only for the seasoned beauty gurus of the industry. But here’s the good news—it isn’t! We’re rounding up five gorgeous makeup looks that aren’t just easy on the eyes from an outsider’s perspective, but from the one doing the eye look, too!
PRETTY IN PINK
A neutrals loving girl all her life, fashion and travel blogger, Joanne, has always opted for more subtle shades when it came to her makeup looks. But once she was introduced to the magic of bright and powerful pink eyeshadow, she was a goner. Blending together pink and cranberry tones instantly brightens your features, making it the cosmetic alternative to a cup of coffee.
PASTEL PASSION
Need a pop of color but still want to keep things subdued? Bella’s pink and purple tight-lining protocol is the way to go. As a beauty and lifestyle content creator, she’s always finding ways to spice up her looks amidst the daily grind. Using two different shades from similar color families on your top and bottom lids is a fun way to add more flavor to your everyday look sans the hardcore glam.
ABSOLUTELY PEACHY
Running late for an event? Here’s an idea straight from the gal with the most informative mini makeup reviews: Skip the spidery mascara and color in your lash line with eyeshadow instead. Creating the illusion of bigger and wider eyes by increasing the expanse of her eyeshadow look. All that concentrated color mimicked what would be the outline and depth of naturally long lashes.
SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLENDID
When you’re a successful fashion and travel blogger, the last thing you want is an eyeshadow look that gets cakey and crumbly after every destination photoshoot. If you want to keep things tasteful yet hassle-free, take a page from this clean and subtle eye look by Renee. After emphasizing your eyes with thick wingless eyeliner, highlighting your lid with a shimmer eyeshadow easily makes your eyes look larger without all the fuss of falsies and heavy crease halos.
MATCH MADE IN HAIR-VEN
Listen up dye enthusiasts! Tonal color schemes have been taking over the style scene recently, and the beauty industry is no exception. The easiest way to look put together with very minimal effort is to make an ensemble that consists entirely of one color. It’s sleek, it’s clean, but most of all, it’s a no-brainer to appreciate.
If you have colored locks, take that as an opportunity to create an eye look inspired by it. Hazel blends a light orange eyeshadow from her middle lid to her outer V, then tones it down with a nice pearly shimmer in her inner corner.
