Hello I'm 13 and kind of new to makeup and I was wondering, what is the easiest way to apply eye makeup ( smoky eye, etc.) and also If I want to keep my makeup kind of natural looking what products would I use??

Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfuavNFZ7kM&feature=youtube_gdata_player I think emilynoel83 breaks down eyemakeup really well, this is a perfect method for beginners! For natural looking makeup you might want to check out the NYX "butt naked" palette :) you might not want to invest in anything high end until you know what you're doing. Good luck!

For a simple easy eye look I would do this:

Step one: Prime your lids with an eyeshadow base. I like E.L.F eye lid primer, and MAC painterly paint pot. I prefer the Mac one though!

Step 2: I would then go in my crease with a mid toned shadow. For a simple brown eyeshadow look I would use "soft brown" by Mac. I like to use a fluffy brush for this step because it blends everything easy. My brush of choice would be MAC #286

Step 3: Define the outer corners of your eye and blend into your crease. For this step I like to use "espresso" eyeshadow from Mac. I would also be using a #217 brush from Mac. Make sure you take your time with this step, as blending is key.

Step 4: Apply your lid color of choice. Using a flat shader brush use a color like "vanilla" or "brûlée" by Mac. Just pat the color on your lid and make sure it blends with everything else.

Step 5: Using a pencil brush like Mac #219 softly blend the espresso color under your eyes. Go easy with it though, you don't wanna look like a raccoon! This also would be a good time to apply your inner corner highlight color. You can go in with a color like vanilla by Mac.

Step 6: Apply your eyeliner, and mascara, then your done!

Remember practice makes perfect! This is just a simple every day neutral look!
