Everyday Eye Makeup Video Tutorial


In my quest to present useful ideas of all kinds, I thought it might be helpful to give y’all a little demonstration of how I apply my eye makeup, sharing some of my tips and tricks as well as the go-to products I couldn’t live without. And, what better way to demonstrate this process than to actually show you how I do it with the magic of my laptop’s webcam!


A little warning, for those watching at work: After watching this on YouTube, I discovered a little too late that the intro and concluding music is leeeeetle (okay, a LOT) too loud. I am so sorry about that!

My go-to eye makeup products, which I demonstrate in this video:
By the way, if you are enjoying PS in a reader or via email subscription, you might have to click over to the blog to watch the video.


So let’s check out the difference well-dressed eyes make!

Before…

…and After!
See how the subtle effect of this routine makes my eyes sparkle, and how I look so much more alert and wider awake? 


As I said in the video, I know makeup doesn’t make me a better, more valuable person. But it does help me step out the door each morning with more confidence, much like I do when I’m wearing my very favorite, most flattering dress. A quick, easy eye makeup regimen like this one requires a minimal time investment, but it can pay dividends in terms of your confidence. Give it a try!

Do you have any eye makeup products or techniques you love? Please share!

Also, I would love to hear your thoughts on video tutorials. Do you like this format, or could you honestly live without it? Would you like me to share more tips and tricks with videos like these? Let me know!

And, as always, if you enjoyed this post, I would love for you to add it to Pinterest!

    Thanks for sharing your techniques and the product names. What lipstick are you using? You do look really beautiful before and after! I like how the makeup is subtle but really just enhances what God has given you :)

    Thanks, Laura! The lipstick I LOVE is called Delovely, and it’s made by Clinique. It is the best lipstick I’ve ever found, hands down! I love that it bridges the gap between a gloss and a lipstick.

    Amy, I thought that was great! I have 4 young children as well (8 years to 5 months) and I treat myself to a shower and eye make-up every single day :) Just mascara, a little eye shadow and eye-liner, because you are so right, it brightens my tired eyes and I think it just makes me feel all around put together. Even if I am not going anywhere that day! I think I will have to add your mascara to my shopping list. I’ve tried 3 recently and haven’t had the best results. I need one that seperates my lashes a bit better.

    Have a wonderful week!
