Tutorial Using Valerie Beauty Eyeshadows

I am crazy about Valerie Beauty eyeshadows, so it's only apt that I make a tutorial using some of my favorite mineral eyeshadows. Valerie has some of the most pigmented minerals available, so I only foiled the lid color and applied the rest dry, because the colors stay vibrant even without using a mixing medium. These colors are also versatile enough to be used any time of the day and night. I only used four eyeshadows for this look, so it's not complicated at all. All products from Valerie Beauty unless otherwise noted.


Apply MAC Beige-ing shadestick all over lid, brows and browbone, blend everything using middle finger. Apply shadestick on lower lashline as well. Using a shader brush, foil Fire Opal using MAC mixing medium on lid.


Using another shader brush, apply Gala on outer lid dry.


Like so...


Using MAC 224 brush, apply Fall dry on crease and outer V, then blend into the outer lid color (Gala).


Using a fluffy brush, apply Delicate Sweetness on browbone, apply also on inner corner traveling upwards to the browbone, blending so that there are no harsh lines.


Apply liner, mascara, fill in brows, apply falsies (used Red Cherry #15), apply MAC Blacktrack fluidline over lashline. Apply Fire Opal on inner half of lower lid, and Gala on outer half of lower lid.

Thanks Vanessa! It's just ironic that I had a very limited time for doing this look, and it turned out to be more decent than the ones I did where I had the luxury of time.
