If you’re getting back into makeup after a year of sweatpants and social distancing, there’s no need to jump into the deep end just yet. You can ease into society with a simple, everyday eye look that pops—no complicated blending techniques or arsenal of fancy brushes required. Ahead, follow along to see how we used Wayne Goss’s Luxury Eye Palette in bestselling shade Imperial Topaz for a hassle-free look you can wear to work, out for drinks, or whatever post-pandemic life has in store for you.
What You'll Need:
• Wayne Goss The Luxury Eye Palette in Imperial Topaz
• Fluffy blending Brush
• Crease Brush
• Mascara
STEP 1
Apply your base
Use a fluffy blending brush (like Goss Edit Brush 06) to apply Shade 04, a copper rose shade, all over your eyelids.
STEP 2
Define the crease
With Goss Edit Brush 04 or another crease brush, define the crease of your eyelid with Shade 05, a warm brown. Start at the outer corner and work inwards, stopping about halfway along the socket. Blend away any harsh edges.
STEP 3
Add a pop of shimmer
Pat Shade 06, a sparkling champagne shade, onto the center of your eyelid with the pad of your finger. Continue to pat with your finger to blend if needed.
STEP 4
Line your eyes
To apply liner the easy way, dip a flat liner brush (like Smith Cosmetics 212 Tightliner Brush) into Shade 03, a rich black shade, and push the bristles into the root of your lashes. Continue along the length of your upper lashline. (For a more detailed tutorial, see Wayne Goss’s Push Liner Technique.)
STEP 5
Define lower lashes
Apply Shade 04 along your bottom lashes, starting at the outer corner of your eye and working your way in. Use a small crease brush, like Goss Edit Brush 07.
STEP 6
Apply mascara
Curl your lashes and apply a lengthening mascara, like Wayne Goss The Waterproof Mascara. For long-lasting curl, Wayne recommends curling your lashes, applying a thin layer of mascara, and then curling them again after the mascara dries completely.
STEP 7
Complete the Look
To pull everything together, lightly dust bronzer along the hollow of your cheeks and buff it out towards your temples. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending away any visible edges. Finish with a nude lipstick.
