Creating a Warm, Transitional Eye Look
This tutorial focuses on achieving a simple yet impactful eye look using the Sigma Warm Neutrals Palette. The goal is to create a seamless transition from summer to fall makeup, perfect for the changing season.
We start by applying the shade 'Humble' to set the eyeshadow primer, ensuring a smooth base for the eyeshadow application. Then, a fluffy brush is used to blend 'Toasty' into the crease, creating a warm, subtle depth.
Next, 'Henna' is applied with a smaller, fluffy brush to deepen the outer corner and crease, building a smoky effect. The intensity is built gradually for a soft and blended result.
Adding Shimmer and Depth
For a touch of shimmer, 'Iconic' is applied with a fingertip to the center of the eyelid, blending outwards towards the outer corner. This technique helps the shimmer pop and creates a subtle highlight.
The shade 'Bittersweet' is then gently blended onto the inner third of the eyelid, using the fingertip for seamless ombre blending with 'Iconic'. This adds a multi-dimensional effect to the look.
This dual shimmer technique enhances the overall look, giving it depth and luminosity that changes with head movement. The fingertip application proves key to achieving this effortless blend.
Completing the Eye Look and Adding Lashes
The lower lash line is enhanced using 'Henna' on a smudging brush, creating a soft smoky effect. 'Toasty' is then used on a tapered blending brush to further smoke out the lower lash line, maintaining a soft, diffused look.
A nude cream gel liner ('Get Paid' by ColourPop) is applied to the waterline, adding subtle definition. This step is optional, and other colors or no liner can be substituted based on preference.
Finally, 'Charmer' is used to highlight the inner corners and brow bone, completing the eye look. False lashes (KISS Lash Couture Masterpiece Faux Mink Lash in Avant-garde) are applied for added drama and volume.
Finishing Touches: Lips and Overall Impression
A lip contour ombre effect is achieved using a lip liner ('Nutmeg' by NYX) to define the outer lip edges, creating depth and shape. A lighter lipstick ('Tease' by Milani) is then applied to the center of the lips, creating a gradient effect.
The lip liner is reapplied to blend and soften the edges, ensuring a seamless transition between the darker contour and lighter lipstick. The final look is a balanced, polished, and sophisticated fall-inspired makeup.
The overall makeup look is described as a versatile and wearable style that transitions effortlessly from summer to fall. It’s a look that prioritizes a natural yet polished appearance with a warm color palette that complements various skin tones.
