Easy Soft Pink Makeup Tutorial

Hi there! Today I'm back with a soft pink makeup tutorial.

I am currently still trying to play with the camera settings to get colours to show up properly.. so apologies if it seems a little bit off! I will keep trying!


Here's the complete look

First and foremost, prime your face with your favourite primer to prevent your makeup from slipping and sliding down the face throughout the day. Here I used Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer.


Before


MAC Paintpot in Fresco Rose; YSL Teint Resist in number 5

Create a natural looking canvas for the rest of the makeup. Prime your eye lids with a pink tone base in order for the shadows to adhere better.


Coastal Scents 42 Colours Shadow and Blush Palette



Pink
Use a light shimmery pink and pat it all over the lid.


Maroon and Orange-red

Use the maroon colour and lightly shade the outer corner. With orange red, go across the upper lash line as if you are lining your eyes (I recommend to use a small shader brush or angled liner for this part).


Tight line your eyes!



This is what the colours will look like at this point...


With a light brown matte shadow, contour the eyes where the socket would set in. You can skip this part if you find it unnecessary.


LORAC Front of the line Pro Liner in Black



Line your upper lash line

As you can see, the brown gives the eyes a bit of dimension.


Using the blush from the same Coastal Scents palette (2nd from left; top row), lightly dust across your cheeks.

Matte Pink Blush

Finish your look with a pink-purple lipstick! :)


Maybelline Vivids in 860 Pink Pop


Finish look

There you go! This look is suitable for a date night out to movies or dinner :)

Have a great week!
