Adding Light and Dimension to Your Face with Soft Neutral Tones
I wanted to show you a simple routine with a few eye colors. I got a lot of questions about doing a more soft makeup look that doesn’t require much detail or practice, so I though I would to re-share this video. You can wear this super easy eye makeup look day or night!
Using just a few colors, you can easily recreate this subtle makeup look. My palette in this tutorial is stocked with pretty, neutral colors with a few pops of color. I’ll walk you through each of them. Shop this look here!

This look is all about adding little touches that go along way when they’re placed in the right way. You can add so much life to your face with just a tiny bit of interest and sparkle. That means you don’t have to skip on contour with a soft and subtle look. I’ll show you a subtle way to contour by adding a bit of dimension where it makes the biggest impact.
The Perfect Neutral Colors for a Soft Makeup Look
With the vanilla dust setting powder, you can create a primer for your eyeshadow that helps extend the life and amount of shadow you need.
