This 5-Minute Spotlight Eye Technique Will Become Your Favorite Look
Whether you're a beginner or a professional, I promise you that this 5-minute spotlight eye technique will soon be your favorite. You can achieve this look in a few simple steps and be all done in 5 minutes. So, without delay, let’s turn on that spotlight on your eyes!
Tools and materials:
- Brow pencil
- Kohl eyeliner
- Dark and light rose-colored eyeshadow
- Pressed glitter eyeshadow
- Concealer
- Liquid highlighter
- Metallic eye pencil
- Eyelash curler
- Mascara
- Lipstick
- Lip plump
- Assorted eye makeup brushes
1. Apply brow pencil (optional)
Don’t skip this step because eyebrows define and frame your eye makeup. Fill in your eyebrows and define their shape with your favorite brow pencil.
2. Add concealer
Add a thin line of concealer right below your eyebrows.
Then fill out that line going down from your eyebrow.
3. A surprising eyeshadow base!
A kohl eyeliner makes a great eyeshadow base because it’s so creamy and blendable. Dot some onto the inner and outer corners of your eyelids.
Then use your fingertip to smudge and blend the eyeliner toward the center of your eyelid. See how smooth and even that looks?
4. Apply eyeshadow
Choose a deep rose-colored eyeshadow and use your fingertip to dab and then smudge it over your eyeliner eyeshadow base. Because your eyeshadow base is still a bit sticky, the eyeshadow is going to adhere and stay in place.
5. Add highlighter to your eyelids
Now add one drop of liquid highlighter to the center of your eyelids.
And spread it out with your fingertip.
6. Top with glitter
While the highlighter is still sticky, tap a little pressed-glitter eyeshadow on top of it. There’s your spotlight!
7. Soften the edges
Use a lighter shade of eyeshadow than you used previously, and blend it at the edges of your eyeshadow.
8. Line your lower lash line
Apply kohl eyeliner to the outer and inner edges of your lower water line.
Lightly smudge out the lower eyeliner leaving a dark base in the corners.
Now use the lighter eyeshadow that you put at the edges of your eyelids over the eyeliner and smudge it out.
9. Add another spotlight
Use a metallic eye pencil to add a spotlight to the center of your lower waterline.
Then just like you did with your eyelid, put a bit of glitter on the spotlight.
10. Curl lashes and add mascara
Curl your upper eyelashes and apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes to add length and volume.
11. Balance the look with your lips
Apply a soft rose lipstick to balance the spotlight on your eyes.
For an extra oomph you can add some lip plump.
