Affordable Eyeshadow

[@carolgray7911]

I’m very late in watching this one as it’s March 9th. So worth watching however late! A brilliant idea showing the 2 looks on each of your eyes. It shows just how much you can do from one very affordable palette and two very different looks as well. Thank you Caroline, you are delightful to watch.

[@sandywilkerson1843]

Beautifully done I can't believe that it was just one palette two completely different looks. I am going you get the green one from Elf. It looks see pretty.

[@andreaawangku1782]

This was fantastic! After watching this i realize Im a bit too heavy handed when applying eyeshadow and need to learn to work in softer, lighter layers. Both looks are fabulous, one for day time and one for night. Must try and get my hands on that elf palette...the size is perfect as well for hoofing about! Thanks Caroline, have a great week. :)

[@sarahhammond103]

Thanks Caroline for another super video. It’s like sitting down with a friend - you’re so natural and genuinely fun. You always have some wisdom to impart and I’m always learning! Xx

[@YaraPNdeSa]

I loved the tip about powdering the eyelids. Thank you!

[@diannalocke997]

Enjoyed seeing two different ways to apply the eyeshadow! Thanks! See you next Saturday. Lovely as always!

[@gillbrown3523]

I’m loving Elf products, I’ll have to look out for these. I’m definitely going to try the powder on the lids with powder eyeshadows 😊

[@stepholiver6981]

Love this video, great techniques and you’re so entertaining! I so look forward to your films 😘😘

[@str9047]

Good comparison... what a difference colour can make...

[@susanchaney5059]

Two lovely eye looks...you do the BEST tutorials. Thank you Caroline.

[@judithbrown3229]

I love these videos. You're so natural and easy to watch.

[@janeofoz]

Always such good tips included in your videos. Simple explanations and beautiful looks. Thank you for sharing.

[@jenniferrhoads3322]

Love this! Thanks for showing two looks. Pretty Woman/Dirty Dancing 💛

[@karincope3019]

I always thought I was a warm toned gal but as of late I have been really enjoying cool tones on my eyes . I have green eyes and a light to medium skin tone and get darker in the summer , so I like I can wear both tones .

[@alisonhowarth8423]

Hi Caroline, While I appreciate your apologies about the noise re your boiler, I actually enjoyed listening to it because it makes you so normal and makes you seem so much more accessible. We all have these issues but some you tube influencers and such make us feel as though their life is perfect and consequently, we are inadequate. Love you and your channel so very much. By the way, please work on your mother to join you in a tutorial, assuming she is well enough. As a 62 year old wannabe 45, I would really appreciate your advice.xxx

[@susanrehm1057]

Great video, Caroline! I wanted to let you know that I have been following your advice about not placing my eye shadow close to my nose. It looks SOOooo much better! Thanks for that great tip. See you next Saturday. Your friend from across the pond!

[@estherndeborahof2de]

A true treat to have watched the video.. funny as it was seeing both eyes done differently, it was truly beautiful and educational.. thanks so much

[@anitahadley2871]

You’re such a great teacher. I’ll give the powder a try and I’ll look for the Elf quads here in the states.

[@michelevanessen1539]

Adore both looks and Elf products too!!! So interesting to see how the shadow colors change your eye color. It could be a fun social experiment to go out in public like that and see how people react! Thanks for the great tips also!!! 😍

[@Bes8406]

Lovely, simple and affordable. I am a sucker for mascara, will need to grab and try it!

[@djelzinga2634]

I just bought a couple of these little pallets. Thanks for the inspo! I’m always glad to see cooler tones used, as I too favor them. Warm looks are a dime a dozen, but cool colors and looks are harder to find. I would enjoy your thoughts on looks for different hair colors too. Great Video! TY

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

DJ Elzinga totally agree on the cool/warm situation 😊

[@dawnsuber5264]

Lovely! Thank you for being so authentic! I learn so much from your videos. Thanks again!

[@ZUZU6485]

fab! I have learned so much from your videos...keep them coming xx

[@susanmcf1]

Your tutorials are so helpful. e.l.f eyeshadows are really good.

[@sarahreed1673]

Two gorgeous looks. I'm now focusing on the size of my eye brushes to ensure better application when applying and blending. Not used elf before, but great to see how an inexpensive brand can achieve high quality looks 💗

[@joannetarplee3733]

Hi lovely, wow you've given some great tips on how to apply eyeshadow and all the different tools that are used which are not necessary meant for the eyes. I'm definitely going to give your application tips a go. Thankyou so much for reviewing these bite size pallette from E.L.F. I don't have any yet but I do think they are so good for the money. Love your beauty videos!! Have a lovely day xx

[@my3meninas]

Yet another great video. Thank you!! Have a great day from Arizona!!!

[@agnieszkapietraszkiewicz4891]

They both look lovely on you Caroline. Lets call one day look and the other for night out on the town!

[@sgodbout2213]

This was an outstanding idea! How many times you buy palettes and not use it for it's full potential. Thank you! - so glad I found you.

[@marypricehilton449]

Love your notion of 'subtle structure'. When I watch you, I realise that I need to work in lighter layers. Plus, with my deep-set eyes, I clearly need to be using smaller brushes! Curious to know if you would recommend a nice small shadow brush with a tapered point? Enjoy your vids so much, Caroline. Thank you 😘

[@gillianwills9049]

A Zoeva 231 Luxe Petit Crease Brush is a must!... or a few!... xXx 😎🖤🖤🖤

Elf is such a nice brand. So good quality and color pay off for so inexpensive pricing. Love the eye looks you created.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Emma Lindblom Agreed! Thank you 😊

[@janj1342]

Hi Caroline, another great video 😀. I have been following you for nearly a year. I discovered you as since turning 50 I found that my eye make up did not sit right anymore and was looking for tips on how to apply makeup to older skin and achieve a dewy look too. I have made lots of great discoveries via you, but one problem still persists, I always end up with panda eyes shortly after applying my eye make up. I feel I’ve tried everything to eliminate this, but so far without success. I don’t know if it is because I have particularly oily eyelids, but I always powder well before applying, lately using Beauty Pie One Powder Wonder. I have my nieces wedding coming up in May and wondered if there is any chance on a video on how to combat oily eyelids and how to ensure my eye makeup will sit perfectly for a day. Many thanks in anticipation 😊

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Jan J well I’d have given me a new film! How to stop panda eyes!!! I’ll try and answer all your questions in time 😊

[@janj1342]

Fantastic 😁

[@ElizabethMorgansays]

@@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes I would also love some oily-eyelid tips! I have gone pretty much exclusively Trinny London because the creams behave better but they still move.

[@juliemeadows340]

Another brilliant video. My eyeshadow never looks anywhere near as good 😢 I think I end up just layering colours on top of each other. I’ll have to try watch you while applying x

[@karincope3019]

Your complexion, wow .

[@janfromseattle]

Thank you Caroline! I loved this tutorial and it will serve me well for any occasion! I love Elf products and you can’t beat the price, can you? Their primer-infused blushes are lovely and I love the putty primer which some say is a dupe for the Tatcha putty primer. I’ve seen Honest Beauty here in the States and have seen tutorials which look wonderful. I will definitely try that mascara. The brush almost seems like ones I’ve seen for tubing mascaras. My favorite is Thrive Causemetics’ mascara. Have a wonderful weekend! So good to see you!

[@lisadougherty5999]

Haha, Caroline, great video... funny video, informative as well, the silver/ black smoky eye.. brilliant and oh so speedy 😉

Wonderful, I just bought this same palette last night!

[@alicereynolds414]

Just saw those shadows last week and didn’t garb one. Gonna have to see if I can get my hands on one🤞Great tip about powder before shadow! Does anyone else have the issue that sometimes shadows make u look like u have a black eye? I’m very pale and I often skip eyes and just go for mascara only.

[@bigbird3970]

Happy Saturday Caroline..great video and such great value eyeshadow!

[@nancytrobaugh1424]

You always have such informative and fun videos! I look forward to each one.

[@catherine1057]

Excellent thank you, for an affordable,, cruelty free look (mostly).

[@elaineblair5038]

Catherine Gauthier really? Sorry but the nars and Bobbi brown are not cruelty free as I understand it. Such a shame such a lovely person such as Caroline uses these products. It encourages us to forget how dreadful testing cosmetics on animals is. Please Caroline stop using Non cruelty free brands.

[@ninak8506]

Both are gorgeous but I love the first soft eye. I am dreadful at doing my eyes. I'm usually just a one & done girl with a liner.

[@karinverndal2055]

Hi Caroline 😃 thanks for yet another fantastic video 👍🏼👍🏼 I love you are so honest and not just praise the extremely expensive brands but also show us how to do with the brands that most influencers just wont comment on 😄 I bought By Terry Hydrapowder, and I use it every day on my eyelids, on top of a primer, but I think it all works better with that hyaloruronic powder 🤗 I also use By Terry Hydrapowder under my eyes on top of the concealer. Makes the concealer last all day without settling into lines.

[@Christine-ry1qq]

You know what hun ?? This as usual was just so informative... you are a complete true makeup genius I have no idea why you don’t have the number of subscribers you absolutely deserve!!!!! Don’t get it at all My Saturdays would never be complete without you I’m out for a long time in South Africa b4 going to America Also flipping hot 🥵 I’m sooo struggling when playing my golf comps to keep my face makeup looking natural AND in place Can’t go foundation free too much pigmentations unfortunately Any tips would be very welcome.. not expecting a response Just hoping for some tips n tricks babes Have a great weekend xxx 😚

Is it possible to do a video on foundations and how to choose the right foundation.. especially for dark or medium skin tone. Do we choose foundations based on skin tones or undertones?

Absolutely gorgeous eye looks and for that price it's amazing too. Thank you Caroline, I love watching your videos and have learned so much from you and your guests. I have a request to make, if that's okay please? Could you possibly do a video of the best products, skin care/make-up for women like me who are going through that time of life where we have to deal with the dreaded hot flushes and sweats please? I'd love to know which products you think would stay put and would still look amazing. Thanks so much for all that you do, you're amazing.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Irina Pafiti hello!! I have a few from the summer if you scroll down ✨

[@jillymet]

I'm going to try Elf. However I just don't understand the smokey eye look. My eyes are hooded and I thought dark shades recede so you have to put a dark shade on the hood to minimise this. But you say that look is dated. Or have I got this very wrong 🙈

[@samanthacatterwell6416]

Hi Caroline. Both eyes look great but the silver side really makes your eye pop. Just wondering on your thoughts about setting your eyelids with powder versus leaving the base wet? Many KZbinrs now have a wet base, pack on the colour then blend. Is this something that is taught on beauty courses now or something that KZbin and instagram gurus have made up themselves? I still prefer to set with powder, as I find I can’t blend very well when I leave the lid without. Also if you use a eye primer, are you suppose to leave wet or powder? Sorry for all the questions just curious on your thoughts as a well established and famous Makeup artist. Much love! ❤️💖❤️xxxx

[@gillianwills9049]

If you use an eye primer, you aren't meant to set it... People who use concealer as an eyeshadow base tend to set it as it's moist and grabs too much.. that alone tells you, we shouldn't be using concealer as an eyeshadow base! xXx

[@samanthacatterwell6416]

Gillian Wills Thank you for explaining that to me. 👍xxx

[@linda.said67]

I have learnt something...2 different eyeshadow techniques. As I try to disguise my hooded eyes by darkening the eye socket...but end up looking too overdone :( Now i know that cannot be done with every colour..

[@gwenloughman3775]

Love how the make up gives your eyes different colours - the pewter shade makes your eye colour look almost navy. I find the priming mascaras difficult to wear - are there tiny fibres in them? Whenever I try them, it always feels like there's dust or a trapped eyelash in my eye. Very uncomfortable.

[@lisac8082]

What do you do when you already have deep sockets? And then dark circles to match.🤦🏼‍♀️

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Lisa C dark circles = opaque concealer... deep sockets = soft light and liner on the lid 😊

[@lisac8082]

Speed Beauty by Caroline Barnes thank you. Upper lid only? Brown or gray liner? Light complexion. 😬

[@rae_______124]

Caroline, have you tried the Victoria Beckham eyeshadow quads. They are fantastic! Btw, love you 😍

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

No I haven’t actually- what palette do you like?

[@Rye_Toast]

This palette reminds me of an affordable version of what would happen if Marc Jacobs and Natasha Denona Mini Palettes had a baby. I see in the comments someone asked how to avoid panda eyes, if you could toss a tip into that video on how to avoid eyes like a shar pei dog I'd love it! I've all but given up on powder shadows because I apply them to my lids and somehow I suddenly have lid wrinkles and it drives me batty! Before powder shadow - no wrinkles, powder shadow - instant wrinkles. What is going on?!

[@janfranklin2114]

I hope you went out to talk to the workers like this with the two different eyes. I would love to have seen the looks on their faces, or would they have even noticed, bwahaha? Both are beautiful and if you are packing light the perfect do it all day to night palate.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

[@MetteMai75]

[@leslienassar6829]

You are so funny! I hope you weren’t too hard on the workman afterwards☺️ When I watch you start to apply the eyeshadow, I think it’s going to look like a hot mess, and then magically in seconds, you look amazing! I think “I can do that”, but it never looks the way it does when you do it. Maybe because you’re younger and gorgeous.... 😘

[@hollyolson6021]

I love the price points on these but I’m a little worried about ELF products because I think they are made in China.

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

Caroline far be it from me to preach about the environment but my daughter told me how bad cotton buds are for the environment. I didn’t really realise to be honest and I’ve stopped using them as much for make up and just use brushes now. Both looks are lovely.

[@gillianwills9049]

Johnson's Baby Cotton Buds are now made 100% biodegradable...

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

Gillian Wills oh thank you, I didn’t know that, I was just told off by my daughter for using them but they were tescos own 😂

[@elaineblair5038]

What is worse for the environment is our constant buy buy buy. How many of us need that eyeshadow palette? I have drawers full of unnecessary make up (amongst other things)and am now trying to be more mindful of what I buy and of using up my old stuff. Foundation too dark? Mix with my too light one or with moisturiser for a tinted moisturiser. Too light? Use under eyes to highlight.. Lipsticks not quite right tone? Often great as a blusher or mix with something else to give the right colour.

[@tallisinwonderland4724]
