Hot Cocoa Inspired Eye Look
Ahhhh....Hot Cocoa and winter go together like, well, Hot Cocoa Eyeshadow and Cocoa Rose Blush!
In this makeup tutorial, we're going to showcase a warm and toasty neutral brown look.
Is there anything better than a warm mug of hot cocoa to cozy up with this time of year?
Well, there might be one thing– a mug of your favorite hot cocoa to sip on paired with one of our all-time favorite mineral eyeshadow neutrals, which just so happens to have the same namesake to match it’s rich, shimmery, chocolatey brown… and of course, that mineral eyeshadow is Simple Beauty Minerals’ very own Hot Cocoa!
Grab Your Cocoas
To show you how it’s done, I (obviously!) first made myself a nice big mug of my favorite hot chocolate (I like to mix up a tablespoon or so of my very favorite vegan-friendly hot cocoa mix with some warm almond milk or soy milk depending on what’s in our fridge!), and then I set to work.
To go along with the cocoa theme for this look I picked out Cocoa Rose as my blush.
We also paired Caramel, and Golden Taupe.
Caramel, Hot Cocoa, Golden Taupe Mineral Eyeshadow
Adriana simply swept Caramel all over her lid using the Eyeshading Brush, and then added Hot Cocoa in the outer corner of her eye for accent. And then blended.
She then added Golden Taupe on the center of her eyelid and below the eyebrow and blended again.
And Your Cheeks
For her cheeks, a touch of Cocoa Rose to the apples of her cheeks making sure to really blend this out.
Warm 3 Perfect Cover Foundation is her shade and she's wearing it here.
You will love how the beautiful soft browns in this look are really highlighted with the gorgeous warm golden tones of Golden Taupe. It will definitely make you feel extra special and just a bit shimmery (just subtle enough for perfect everyday wear, or really focus on the highlight to up the glam factor and transition this into a lovely holiday look that is festive enough for any party!)
