Classic Makeup Tutorial | Sheer Beige Pink Soft Glam | Makeup for Cool Skin Tones
I'm using the E45 by Blank Canvas Cosmetics, and this will be the only brush that we're using for this eye look. I've primed my eyelids already with some eyeshadow primer, so the lids are now ready for eyeshadow.
I want to show you how to recreate this classic sheer glam makeup look. This look is incredibly easy to recreate using very few products that you already own. Before we get started, if you're new to the makeup chair channel, hit the subscribe button below. And let's start by talking about the type of products that we'll be using today. Blush tones are the main focus of this look, so pinky beige-toned blushes, bronzers, eyeshadows, and also on the lips. All the shades that we're using are in the same nudie beige-toned family, which is great for the cool and neutral skin tones.
For warm golden or olive skin tones, you may want to choose more of a golden undertone. And I'll focus on that in another Monday makeup lesson. But you can just follow along with your chosen tone. So let's zoom in and start applying. Starting with the eyes, I'm taking an eyeshadow brush. I'm using the E45 by Blank Canvas Cosmetics, and this will be the only brush that we're using for this eye look. I've primed my eyelids already with some eyeshadow primer, so the lids are now ready for eyeshadow.

I've chosen a beige tone at least one shade darker than my skin tone. I find at least one shade darker is enough for this look. So take a look at your own skin and choose a matte eyeshadow at least one shade dark. Dip your blending brush into the eyeshadow. Tap off any excess, as we will be slowly building this up, so less is more. We're going to start in the crease of the eye and blend it onto the lid. The best way to apply this is to actually hold the brush quite low down on the handle and keep your hand low on your face as well.
We want to create a blurring effect. So you're almost buffing the eyeshadow across the lid, but you barely want to touch the skin. Let the brush glide over the lid, and don't apply too much pressure. By doing this technique, you'll see that the eyeshadows fade from the crease upwards towards the brows. And it's a very effortless way to create a blurring effect. Next, I'm going to take my blush for sensitive eyes using eyeshadow. I'll be using this blush later on my face, so this will bring the entire look together.

Taking the blush, I'm going to focus on the outer half of the eye. This will add some depth and tone to this look. I'm still holding the brush quite low on the handle. And my hand is still quite low as I blend this. Going back to the original eyeshadow, I'm going to apply this under the eyes. And for convenience, I'm using the same brush. I press it down to create a flat, and then I glide this under the lashes. Obviously, you may want to use a smaller brush like a pencil brush or a flat brush. That's totally up to you and the type of brushes that you have available to use.
Once I apply this eyeshadow underneath the eyes along the lash line, I then want to readjust the brush and hold it in the center of the handle and sweep around to blend the eyeshadow out. I want more control, so I'm holding the brush a little higher. This will also prevent me from blending out too far outside the eye shape while still allowing me to create that blurry blend. Bear in mind that I haven't actually picked up any additional product at this stage.
The only thing on the eyeshadow that we'll be using is a bronze tone with a metallic finish. This is a shimmer that will add some depth to the look. This eyeshadow should be at least two shades darker than your skin tone with a lighter shimmer finish. I'm going to apply this using my fingertips. And I'm starting at the lash line and then blending across the lid, focusing mostly on the center. Next, I'm going to apply a thin layer of black liquid liner. I call this invisible liner. It's really just about darkening the lash line and thickening the look at the lashes.

You can use brown for a softer look. Though, I do like to match my mascara with the liner. So if I'm using black mascara, I would recommend using the black liner as well. For the face, I'm applying a sheer layer of mineral foundation, which is a powder. I want my own skin to still show through, so a sheer amount of coverage is all I need. Once my base is on, I'm going to move on to applying those baiji pinky tones. I'm going to start with a matte bronzer in sort of a baiji tone. I'm going to use this to create some shape, and then I can go in and add the pink tones and work around it.
To apply this, I'm using the F37 blush brush by Blank Canvas Cosmetics. You want a small brush that will give you control that isn't too firm. I'm starting low on the apples of my cheeks. And I'm swirling this in small circular motions, working upwards towards the top of the ear. And this will lift the face. Though, you do want to adjust this depending on your face shape. If you need help with that, definitely let me know. Once again, we're building this up slowly, so with each new application and each new pick up a product.
I start a little further away from the apples. And this will just avoid applying too much bronzer on the apples because we still need to apply blush. I want to bring this up around my forehead. And you want to adjust this depending on your forehead shape. For instance, for smaller foreheads, you want to keep it really close to the hairline. You don't need to add too much shape. It's just about adding some balance. For shorter foreheads, you may want to focus on the sides and avoid the top. For long foreheads, focus on the top and avoid the sides. It's all kind of trial and error, but a little goes a long way.
