It's not hard to see why this is a top-pinned eye makeup look on Pinterest. Just look at that flawless cat eye, shimmery shadow and perfectly highlighted face. Yeah, we're swooning so hard RN. The secret to her flawless shadow? Using concealer as a base. The neutral color enhances the shadow's true pigments and sets up a smoother surface for eye shadow application. Simply dab some concealer on your fingertip and rub on your lid, all the way up to the brow bone. To ensure your shadow doesn't get caught in any fine lines, be sure to set your concealed eyes with a colorless setting powder or one close to your skin color before applying shadow (try M.A.C. Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder, $27).
Love the no-makeup look, but not ready to give up your smoky eye? Then this top-pinned eye makeup look is your match made in heaven. For this nude smoky eye look, use CoverGirl Eye Shadow Quads, $7.99, in Notice Me Nudes. The luminous eye shadows are buildable, so you can go as light or heavy as you'd like. If you have blue eyes, this golden brown color is especially flattering.
Pinners have spoken, and the all-natural face is clearly where it's at this season. While this simple and sexy look may look like it requires nothing, believe it or not, it actually incorporates four eye shadow colors, a swipe of brown or black kohl eyeliner, and your favorite mascara or set of falsies. For the look, you'll want to make sure you have a beige, soft brown, dark brown and black eye shadow on hand. The Sonia Kashuk Eye Couture palette, $19.99, has all the hues you'll need.
This eye makeup look just raised the bar for the perfect eye shadow "glow." Especially flattering for hazel eyes, the pop of gold brings out the lighter flecks of color in the eye. Hazel eyes or not, this pretty eye makeup idea will complement any iris with its shimmering golden highlight.
This drop-dead gorgeous halo smoky eye snags the spot for the No. 1 pinned eye makeup look in this roundup. With over 200,000 pins, we would wager a guess ladies are smitten with the dazzling effect the highlighting halo technique has on the eye, and of course, the metallic eye shadow. The best part? This eye makeup only requires three shadows to create the perfect halo smoky eye.
To get the perfect metallic silver combo, lightly mix a shimmery black eye shadow with a shimmering champagne shadow. Try Maybelline The Rock Nudes Palette, $9.99, for your shimmery black and Anastasia Beverly Hills Eye Shadow Singles, $16, in Soft Gold for your shimmering champagne shadow. To give the metallic eye a more natural and blended look, apply a taupe eye shadow (we like L'Oreal Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow, $7.95, in Bronzed Taupe) to the crease of the lid, blending across the crease from the inner corner outward.
