Things can get complicated sometimes, so I like to keep my makeup look simple.


Follow along with this step-by-step tutorial for the best, simple makeup routine.

Tools and materials:

  • Eyebrow comb
  • Eyebrow pencil with spoolie
  • Brown eyeshadow palette
  • Angled brush
  • Eyelash curler
  • Mascara
  • Mineral foundation and brush
  • Lip gloss
  • Cotton swab
Filling in brows

1. Line and fill in your brows

Comb your brows upward with a brow brush. Then use your eyebrow pencil to mark the bottom of the browline, mainly at the front, as well as the top.


Next, fill in gaps with light, brush-like strokes. Fill in at the end of the brow if it looks sparse.


Comb out the pencil marks with a spoolie for a softened look. Touch up any more holes with the pencil.

Combing brows

Apply brown shade of eyeshadow that matches your brow color to a small, angled brush and lightly go over your brows.


Then use your brow brush again to brush everything together.

You can always add blush or change up the lip gloss shade for a bolder look.


This works for an easy, barely-there look that’s perfect for every day.
