Neutral Eye with Pop of Color

One of my favorite way to change my makeup wardrobe is to create a neutral eye with pop of color. This is the easiest way to add colorful eyeshadow, if you are not comfortable wearing lots of colors on your eyes. There are several ways to add this pop of color – on the waterline, along the lower lash line, or as winged liner. This time, I decided to add a pop just on the inner corner of my eyes. It’s very subtle, and has a brightening effect. This is a great way for those with monolids or hooded eyes to add color to their eyes.

The eyeshadows that I used for this tutorial is from the MAC Amber times 9 palette (except for the purple). You can purchased the eyeshadow individually if you prefer. The eyeshadows on this palette is smaller than the individual ones, but I think it’s not that bad especially if you’re a beginner makeup artist who is trying to build their kit, or if you are someone who don’t wear much makeup daily but would like a versatile palette. I like this palette, it might be my go-to bridal palette, such pretty earthy tones with a good mix of matte, shimmer, frost, satin, velvet and lustre
