Soft New Years makeup tutorial for young teens

One of my New Years resolutions is posting more makeup tutorials. But I am a blogger and right now their are many girls frantically looking for the perfect New Years makeuplook.  So I decided my resolution starts now. I decided to start with a softer makeup looked that is targeted for younger teens or for the girls who are shy when it comes to makeup. It's really easy recreate and you don't even need the same products I used. Just pick similar shades that you already have and you should be good to go!

Hope you enjoy this look and find it helpful! Have a wonderful and blessed New Year! 




For the eye look you will need the following products.
  • I used the Lorac Mega Pro palette but all you need are the following shades: cranberry, shimmery vanilla, and a dusty rose to copy this look
  • White base (optional) 
  • Urban Decay eye primer
  • L'Oreal voluminous mascara
  • Black eyeshadow for lining the eyes
  • And of course some makeup brushes (shader, blending, precision/pencil, crease, lining) 
For the face I used
  • Loreal True Match foundation
  • E.l.f cosmetics Hd concealer in brightening
  • Physicians Formula face powder
  • Nars Orgasm blush
  • Benefit's Hula for Light contouring
On the lips
  • Chapstick 
  • Too Faced Melted lipstick in Berry

Now let's get started!
  1. First, make sure you have a clean face. It should be washed, moisturized and prepped with any primers.
  2. After applying Urban Decays primer potion, take a a fluffy brush and lightly blend a cranberry shade into the crease. Be sure not to go too high above the crease. It's better to get it all over the lid rather than covering your brow none with the cranberry shade. 
  3. Pick up crease brush and precisely apply the same cranberry shade in the crease. Start from the outer v and work your way into the inner v. But try to keep most of the cranberry shade on the outer v area. 
  4. After you're finished with step 3, take a fluffy blending brush and blend out any harsh lines.
  5. Next, apply a white base to the lid of the eye for enhanced pigment for the vanilla eyeshadow.
  6. Take a flat shadow brush and dab the shimmery vanilla shade all over the lid. You can also use your fingers or a sponge applicator for this step. 
  7. Again, go back in with your fluffy blending brush and blend any harsh lines from the vanilla shade. Sometimes it's needed to redo step 3 to enhance the cranberry shade and that's ok. But don't forget that you might need to be blend once again.
  8. Now, take a pencil brush and apply a rosy shade on the outer v to lightly smoke things out. Blend with a fluffy brush if needed.
  9. For lining the eyes use an angled eyeliner brush and a black eyeshadow. This will keep the look soft and avoid the harshness a tradional eyeliner can create. 
  10. Apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes. 
  11. If desired, apply the same vanilla shade on the brow bone to enhance the shape of your brows.
  12. Then finish up with your foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, blush and lipstick. (I did it in that order)
I really like this look because you can change it up to a more bold look or tame it down. You can add definition under the eyes, falsies, winged eyeliner, or even add deeper Berry shades. The possibilities are endless with this look. I decided to keep the look soft becuase it was done on a 14 year old but when I wear this look I definitely vamp it up!

Makeup tutorial using drugstore products

Hello, today I am sharing a tutorial for everyday wear, prom, work or whatever/ whenever you want to wear it. I used all drugstore products, with the exception of one brush. This look is simple enough for everyone to accomplish and neutral enough for everyone to wear. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and if you have any questions just leave a comment below! 
  
Products used
E.l.f Baked Eyeshadow singles: Enchanted, Pixie and Burnt Plum
Rimmel Scandal Eyes eyeliner in nude
L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara
E.l.f liquid eyeliner
E.l.f mineral mist and set 
E.l.f professional blending brush
Urban Decay Naked 3 brush 
Sonia Kashuk blending brush
E.l.f eyeliner brush
Ecotools eyeshadow brush 




 Before you start your makeup be sure to apply primer! I used Urban Decays primer potion but I forgot to add it in the photo. I also used a setting spray to increase pigmentation but that's optional. If you're wondering which eyeshadows are the right color, I have photos at the bottom of the post for each one. 
  1. Use an eyeshadow brush to apply Pixie all over your eyelid. I sprayed my brush with mist to make the pink shade more pigmented. 
  2. With an eyeshadow brush apply Burnt Plum on the outer part of your eyelid and blend it out with a blending brush. I use the wind shield method for blending.
  3. Staring where you see the number three apply Enchanted with the tip of an eyeshadow brush. Go all the way around the tear duct and stop at the outer corner of the bottom lash line. Once I was past the tear duct I used an eyeliner brush for more precision. 
  4. Apply a nude eyeliner to brighten your eyes. Then, darken the bottom lash line with Burnt Plum at the roots of your bottom lashes. Start at the outer corner and stop where the number four is. I used a light hand and faded out the color instead of picking up more product. For application I used the same eyeliner brush but I wiped it off before hand.
  5. With a big blending brush use Enchanted to blend out the whole look. Do this until you don't have any harsh lines. Be sure not to apply too much. I just dipped my fluffy brush in the eyeshadow one time. 
  6. Now you can apply your eyeliner and mascara. 
  7. VoilĂ , you're done! I hope yours turned out even better!
