Step 1

Transition shades for easy blending

A neutral eyeshadow functions as a transition shade, making it easier to blend other colors into each other and making the transition between colors smoother. Use a fluffy brush to apply it to your mobile eyelid and blend it outwards softly.

Step 6

Make a statement with your makeup

Want to give your simple makeup look a little extra something and really make a statement? No problem. Begin by applying red lip liner along your Cupid’s bow, following the contour to the center. Do the same for your lower lip. Complete the outline, starting at the corners of your mouth and moving inward. For a softer look, you can finish it off by blending it using a lip brush. Finally, fill in your lips with a vibrant red shape. Voilà—your simple eye makeup with a statement lip is complete!
