- Eyeshadow palette with rose gold, soft gray, and darker shade

1. Start with primer
Begin your makeup routine by applying a primer to your face and eyelids to ensure a smooth base for your makeup.
2. Create a foundation mix
Mix together a combination of primer, foundation, and beauty balm.
Adjust the proportions based on the season; use more beauty balm in the summer and more foundation in the winter.
3. Apply foundation
Use a foundation brush to apply the primer and foundation mixture all over your face. Blend it in thoroughly for a natural look.
4. Add blush
Apply blush to add color to your cheeks. Start in the center of your cheek and blend upwards in a teardrop shape using a blush brush.
Use a soft brush to blend it in.
5. Define your eyebrows
Use a taupe eyeliner pencil to define your eyebrows.
Fill in any sparse areas and smooth them out using a spoolie brush.
6. Now your eye makeup
You have already applied eye primer, so now add a neutral base eyeshadow all over your lids.
Use a rose gold shade for a subtle everyday look.
7. Define your lash line
Use a wedge brush and a soft gray eyeshadow to create a subtle line along your lash line. This adds definition without looking too heavy.
8. Create a soft eye contour
Use a small blending brush and a darker eyeshadow shade to add dimension to your crease and outer corner.
Blend well for a soft, natural look.
9. Apply mascara
Apply waterproof mascara to your lashes to add volume and length.
Focus on the outer corners to lift and define your lashes.
10. Don’t forget lipstick
Complete your look by applying a neutral lipstick color, such as "True Rose," for a natural finish.
