Not So Made Up - Easy Natural Eyes

I love the enhancement of natural beauty using the beautiful color and techniques of makeup application. When wearing makeup, I like to follow the adage, "A little goes a long way."  There are times when I like bold colors but I don't strive for the look of the runway or the circus clown. I prefer a less ostentatious approach to my make up.

Having said that, I've been hearing great things about Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24 Hour Cream Gel Shadow. Although I've yet to try it, it's rumored to be long lasting, easy to apply and non-creasing. I checked out the colors and they're pretty nice. There's color to suit just about anyone but I'm going to put it on my shopping list because long lasting and non creasing are nice perks. Speaking of perks, with a coupon, I can save pretty nicely if I get it at CVS on the week of April 29th when there are $5 Extra Bucks when you purchase $15 of face, eye or lip products.

You can check the Maybelline Eye Studio website to take a look at the different views of usage for the shadow. Some of the applications are dramatic but can easily be scaled down if. I thought the techniques were nice enough to tweak and make them my own. The views list instructions to achieve the "look" and are printable. The views are also inclusive of other makeup items, such as liner, to gain the full look that Maybelline will show you.

Maybelline Eye Studio website  has application tutorials.

I was happy to stumble across another video that shows a nice tutorial for a natural look. It does incorporate the Maybelline Color Tattoo but has a couple of other products that are mentioned, including false lashes. I don't use false lashes but really liked how Holly easily showed off her application in her video that I've included below. I'm taking survey of what I'll need to add a little variance to my eyes.

Here's Holly's video.
