James Charles Palette - Beginner Eyeshadow Tutorial

I think it's time for another James Charles Palette - Beginner Eyeshadow Tutorial! I can't believe this is the first makeup tutorial I've filmed for 2020 - yikes!! Honestly I had no desire to film in March, it just didn't feel right for me and I only wore makeup one day the entire month.
I know we've all been going through a lot right now. I finally decided to film because creating tutorials brings me a lot of joy and I felt like it was a healthy way to help relieve me of some of the stress I've been feeling. If you haven't seen my tutorials before they're intentionally very detailed. I used to make them 1/3 of the length they are, but I found that including all the details really helps a lot of people! I hope that you can learn something new and that this beginner eyeshadow tutorial helps you perfect your skills as a makeup artist!
How are you all doing during this time? Are you someone who uses makeup as a creative outlet to relieve stress? Or maybe you're someone who is wanting to learn something new while we're all stuck at home! Just know you are not alone in feeling overwhelmed/stressed/anxious/frustrated right now. I hope we can all come together and support one another - we will get through this!

I just want to say thank you thank you thank you! I bought this palette a while ago thinking I would do my makeup but I get intimidated by all the looks on the internet and always wished for a tutorial of something simple and classy and you have done that so thank you!

[@kenziemacbrown]

I’m so happy to hear that!! I know it’s not the most exciting but it’s a great go-to look for everyday or even a formal event!

This is almost the exact look I did for my “princess look” when I was in Rogers and Hammerstein’s cinderella :) So simple and beautiful!! I love how much detail you went into while explaining too👏

[@kenziemacbrown]

Thank you! It’s not the most exciting look but it’s definitely a go-to of mine for an every day look or even something formal!

[@krystalberas3915]

kenziemacbrown yes I love how much detail you put into it and how you explain everything.

[@sydneyadams2506]

I've always wanted to do a look like this but was too intimidated. Finally gonna try it. Thank you!

[@kenziemacbrown]

I'm glad you're going to try it! Honestly worst case, you just wipe it off! There's been so many makeup looks I've tried that haven't worked out, but practice helps!

[@sydneyadams2506]

@@kenziemacbrown I tried it and I really liked it. Didnt use as many colors as you did but that's because of my eye shape and I didn't want it to be too dark for work. Since watching your video I've taken more time to blend my colors more and its given me a confidence boost in my technique. Thank you!

Can you please make an eye look with the yellow and the 3 greens next to it. I would LOVE to see a look with those colors!! Especially because you are so detailed and you take your time, I really appreciate that. Thanks!!

[@kenziemacbrown]

Thanks for the request! That's a great idea!

kenziemacbrown you’re so welcome! Awww thank you for thinking so! and thank you so much for responding back.

kenziemacbrown really hope you’re still considering doing a look with the “Bee” shade and the 3 greens surrounding it.

[@kimberlysanchez1144]

love these! just watched ur video from 2019 over a beginner eyeshadow tutorial. Ive had the palette for a while now but am scared to play with it bc im not the best at eyeshadow, so im glad i found ur videos to try out neutral looks!

[@kenziemacbrown]

Sorry I just saw this comment, but thank you so much! I was the same way when I was starting out, it's a lot easier to start with a few colors (maybe 2-3), you can still create lots of eyeshadow looks, even just by using a few colors!

[@jasminelee5923]

i just watched a old tutorial of yours and and now this one i am obsessed with the way my eyes look when i fish your tutorials i think i’m going to find myself watching and doing all of them during this quarantine

I’d love a video explaining makeup in a SUPER simple, basic way for beginners. Like explaining the different parts of makeup and what each part does. I honestly still don’t know what highlighter even does lol

[@kenziemacbrown]

Thanks for the suggestion! I think sometimes I forget that not everyone has the same knowledge I do, and it's a helpful reminder!

[@kenziemacbrown]

[@estherdeakin8562]

Thank you so much for your videos and going slow through them. I found very few that do that. Since you seem really knowledgeable on makeup I have a question. My eyes get really dry even without makeup around my eyes, I do have eye drops but I am scared to use eye drops when I've put eye makeup on because I don't want it to come off. What would you suggest?

[@kenziemacbrown]

I’m glad you like my videos! ☺️ if there’s a way where you can put the eye drops in preemptively that might be easier than putting them in once your makeup is done! If you’re not wearing mascara it shouldn’t be a problem, but once mascara gets wet it typically will smear.

[@Penelope1958]

This was a wonderful video. Now I will be able to practice with a purpose instead of just doing things blindly. I am going to watch this again and keep trying until it becomes easy. I haven't really concentrated much on doing my makeup well. So now is as good a time as I can think of to spend my time in a more creative way. Also I think using makeup may make me feel better and self care is very important right now along with caring for whoever we can in whatever way we can.

[@kenziemacbrown]

That's what I've done with other tutorials, and what I did when I was first starting out! Practice really makes perfect, and I still feel like I have a lot I can improve on 😊

[@krystalberas3915]

I love how you are able to do a whole look with just one or two brushes and like let us know that we don’t have to use all the brushes if we don’t have them or that we don’t have to use all the brushes if we do have them, that we can use 1 or two brushes and the look will still come out good. So thanks for that.

[@kenziemacbrown]

You're welcome! I remember what it was like starting out and not having dozens of brushes, or primers, or the nicest lashes, etc. But I still think you can create a beautiful eyeshadow look even when you don't have a ton of tools!

[@krystalberas3915]

kenziemacbrown yup, and the fact that you can show us that that’s true, it’s really awesome.

[@camille796]

I just subscribed to you the other day and bought the palette and just when I thought that I could try it you slap me with that awesome video! Thank you so much, you deserve way more views and subscriber you are so pretty and nice

[@kenziemacbrown]

Great timing!! Haha and thank you so much Camille!!

[@madi9559]

Have you ever considered doing a video on tips for maintaining long distance relationships? I know you and Joel did that while you were in Orlando and me and I’m sure many others are facing that now with college and quarantine! ❤️

[@kenziemacbrown]

That’s a good idea! It’s been about four years since we did that so I don’t know how accurately I can recall our experience 😂 but it was definitely challenging! I also had a long distance relationship my first year of college that didn’t work out well at all (he cheated on me twice), but I think overall both people have to be fully committed to the relationship, even though it gets really hard.

[@elysamonserrate3203]

Hi, I just discovered your channel, and I have to say this was the absolute best eye shadow tutorial ever, thank you. I liked how you pointed out the subtle differences between the two eyes and how taking your time can make it look more “professional”. The final look is so beautiful! Can you tell me which lashes did you use?

[@Strongwidow5585]

This look is very easy and simple to do, but I do have a question about it! Would this makeup look be appropriate for a funeral because my husband just passed away this past Wednesday night and even though I love makeup so much, I need to learn to tone it down and keep it respectful for his family at his memorial service so that they don’t go and think that I’m a crazy and careless widow!

[@kenziemacbrown]

First of all I'm so sorry to hear that! If anything, you could maybe not use the shade Benny, and follow the tutorial up until that part (so up until about 12:30). I personally think it would be fine, but up to you if you feel comfortable wearing eyeshadow that dark - that might be the only thing I would change, but I don't know how much makeup you usually wear or feel comfortable wearing. I'm so sorry you have to go through that right now!

[@Strongwidow5585]

I was just thinking the same thing, the shades Benny and spooky would be too dark, so I would probably just stick with the three shades canvas, punch me and tea and I know for sure I’m gonna have to go light handed on the face makeup, such as foundation, concealer, bronzer etc., but thank you, I’m taking his passing really hard just like his family and kids are!

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

I really struggle with that portion of my eye in the crease. Shadows are stubborn because of my hooded eyes, I’m going to try some of these ideas so I can get a smother look. But I do not have as many issues with the James Charles palette but the naked ones

[@kenziemacbrown]

I have a hard time with some of the Urban Decay Naked palettes too! I feel like it depends a lot on the formula of the shadows!

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

kenziemacbrown yes. I just used the naked heat for the first time and it was amazing!!! Super easy to use as is the naked 3.
