Matte Eye Makeup Tutorial for Beginners | Soft Glam Matte Eyeshadow Look 2026

You see the vision? Look into the vision. This is what's inspiring me. I don't even know anymore. I see something in that though, I promise you. We need a blue base, because whenever I want to brighten up gray, I actually love using blue. Oh, I don't have the right brush, but let me chat really fast. Whenever you use blue with gray, gray already has quite a bit of blue in it, so by using a brighter one, it's just going to bring it forward, just pop it a little bit more. C31, this brush is so slept on. It is one of my most used brushes. I think I reach for this one more than any of them. I use this one for eyeshadow base, correctors, really kind of any detail work, even with powders. It's really, really nice. Okay, let's get this blended out. I know you're seeing that vision. You get the vibes. For the rest of my eye, I just use a little bit of Clean Canvas in the shade Fair and melt these two together. Use this palette. I love this palette. As you can see, I don't get it out as much, only because it was hidden. Now, this is going to look like it's going somewhere really wild for a second, but it's actually not. I'm essentially using color theory. In fact, this blue is going to cool this down so much that I might actually reach for a bronzer, but let's add some depth in the socket first. And I'm actually bringing it up wildly high. It might look like it for a second, only because I have my eye shut. I want a little bit more warmth for the transition, so I'm going to hop over into the primary palette and kind of push that into and above. These aren't as scary when you realize that these shades are in most of our favorite eyeshadow colors anyways. It's just about knowing how to layer them while they're already on the face. Once you get past that, it just becomes a breeze. Oh yeah, that's nice now. A little bit more of this one because I'm just going to put this one more here, and we got ourselves a nice little warm transition now, but I still wanted the socket to be a little cooler because we're doing kind of a warm and cool situation. I work very differently and in terms of I kind of work backwards sometimes, so if it ever feels overly complicated, I'm very, very sorry, but this is just how the madness goes in my brain. I've always seen things, I don't know, very differently. I always watch other artists and everything just looks so controlled from the beginning, and I'm a little jealous of that because I work in chaos. I do, but I see the end result and I see beauty in the chaos, and I think that's really beautiful in itself. So we're going to start building our gray. I kind of wanted to show you what the gray would look like without the blue base. This is going to be pretty, and then I'm going to come back with the cream and just lighten the center. Now that I have the gray on, I do want to cool this down just a little bit, so I'm going to take a little bit of the blue. It's not going to completely cancel out the warmth, but it was a little too peachy for me. That's perfect. Isn't that fun to watch? We have fun over here. I'm going to take this color and mix it with this color, just kind of tap back. I'm using the fluffier brush. I could still pack with the side of it, but it won't be quite as much, and as I blink, this is going to fade a little bit more. I don't know if you heard that beep. I don't know what it was. It's okay. I know it's not the fire or the smoke detector, so that's all that matters. Okay, I'm just going to build this up a little bit more, and I'm just going to let it sit and see where it goes. I have my cellar water on my fluffy brush. Too dense of a brush, and it could take away too much. I kind of just want to melt. Remember, we can still put foundation and concealer there. I'm just going to wipe off. It's still nice and damp. I can't decide if I want to do... I think I want a more... So, we're just going to switch brushes really fast. C30, and there we go. I'm in the market here for a wing liner. Do it that way. Remember, anything under here, we can always tidy up. E26. This has been my favorite. I'm also doing one that's a little bit more sassy today. I need one. Fun! I'm going to show you how I tidy, but I wanted a little bit on the front part, because I'm going to do a full lash today. Whenever I'm doing a full lash, I like to try to get over here to hide the lash band better. Just kind of get into the lashes, and then remember when I said not to worry too much about down here? This is the easiest part ever to tidy up, and I'm just wiping it on Sheila, and then I just reshape as I like. I kind of don't even want it that far over, so just take it away. Be gone. Let's do Lily Lashes go-getters today. I'm not gonna lie. I've worn this, I think, 15 times, and it did kind of just fall apart, but I was able to put it back together. It's got one more wear. Heck, I think it's got two more. Now, since I have more of a blue gray on, I definitely want to do some color correcting with Cool Sunrise. This is my favorite. I guess the peaches and the yellows, when it comes to those types of correctors, I'm reaching for these. Now, the blues, the purples, like I think I've mentioned it before, I wish they would do that in this formula, but I get it. But when it comes to more of the peaches, yellows, oranges, nothing compares to this formula. And I'm gonna take it in here as well, because there's still some blue around that area, so I'm not as afraid to get in here. I'm even gonna take a little bit more and just kind of color correct. A little extra color correcting in the corners, that way we don't have any blue in here. And this is a really good tip, even for just color correcting every day, even when you're not using sassy wild colors like blue-gray, because color correcting in here can really make a difference. This is still the old formula of Double Wear. I actually went to buy it at Ulta and I couldn't find it, so we're still using this one for now. I think I'm gonna correct that with some purple. Yes, let me grab my purple. I'll just throw it on my face first though. I really wasn't wearing this before I started using it as a color corrector, so I think that's interesting, right? I kind of want to get a bigger one. I feel like we should be good on that. If I need more, we'll add more. I think we need more on this side. That should do it. This is Shade Dust, by the way. Outdoor beige is better for me, but it's too dark for me right now. Maybe I'll have a better shade match for winter and summer in the new formula. We'll see. We'll see what's going on. I can't see what I'm blending. I'm filming with back camera now, not into the mirror, and then if I move my mirror, I'm kind of using that as a monitor, so I don't know what's going on on my face right now. Okay, we're headed on the right path. C42. It's got this covered. Literally. I've been trying so many new concealers and I don't like none of them. Not one. I'm back with my Double Wear 2.5C. This is my favorite. I feel that this is just so thin, but pigmented. The undertones are all right across the entire board. It's just, it's good. I am looking for my C32. I might have to stop this, but all of the ones that I've been trying have just been way too wet, way too slippery, not enough pigment, blending away, settling into fine lines. It's been chaos, but let me find my brush. C32. Let's melt this in. Mm, scrumptious. I just can't find one that I like more than this now. I don't like a super, super wet concealer, and listen, I don't have a youthful, hydrated under eye, but sometimes I'm doing a very full glam look, so I am going to use a lot right now, but sometimes you don't want to kind of keep layering a concealer to build it up. You should get what you need with just a little bit, and that's exactly what this concealer does. So I feel sometimes when these concealers go way too hydrating, then it just kind of sabotages, and we keep building and building and building it up to get to where we want, and then it creases and settles into fine lines and reactivates, and meh. So I'm going to grab the original C40, and I'm using a lighter shade than this. I'm using medium bronze, or sorry, medium tan. Soft bronze is the darker one that I use, but I just wanted a little bit of shape, a more diffused soft bronze, because y'all know I get heavy-handed. I like bronzer. I do like doing this with a fluffier C40. A little more. Tiny amount. When you're using a fluffy brush, it's obviously not going to deposit as much color. Blend that out a little more. Now I'm going to have a little bit of fun. This is the shade Pink Pop. Wake up. There you are. And it's really not super, super pink. It's more of a peach. So I'm going to take this, and I'm going to grab it on. You know, I should be more prepared than this, but here we are. Okay, let's use this prototype. And I'm just going to put that pretty high on my cheekbone, almost underneath my eye, and then we're going to use a powder blush in a similar color story underneath to transition into the bronzer. I'm having fun. Let me just have a little fun. I'm getting wild. This is Tower 28 Blush. This is Long Beach Iced Tea, and that's going to go underneath it, kind of into the bronzer, meeting the more neon peach blush. I need to get new puffs. I think I've had these particular ones since they launched in 2022. But you know what? That's a really good thing, because we don't want things to fall apart. And they're still so beautifully flocked. Remember, I know, I'm going to yap. I'm sorry. Proud of them. Not all flocking and fluff is the same. I had a specific amount that I wanted. Too much, and it picks up too much product. Too little, and it's just kind of flat. So yes, there are similar things out there, but if you enjoy my vision, that's what these brushes, and the puff, and everything I do, it's through my lens. I put on a little bit of clear eyeshadow base, and I'm back into the gray shadow from the palette, the one that's on my lid. I'm just going to connect that. Yeah, that's nice. I love gray eyeshadow. So let's do MAC Modesty Lipstick. Delicious. And then I've been reaching for this lip liner a lot. This is the Sephora collection, the 8-Hour Colorful Transfer Proof Lip Liner. But the shade is Perfect Beige. I've been reaching for it. I love it. It's a good time. I did add a little bit more of the beige on top here, and then I'm taking the same beige, and I'm just going to press it in here. And I think I've ran out of room. I don't know what else I can do. All right, my friends. I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial as much as I enjoyed painting it. I've been wanting to do kind of a bright coral and gray. I just love strange color combinations. They're really fun and inspiring for me. I love you so much. I will definitely be saving this to my highlights. And just about every look that I do, and my skincare, so many things are on my saved highlights, so make sure you're checking those. I love you with all my heart. Until the next video, bye for now.
