The secret to a maximalist eye makeup tutorial is combining contrastive products, like pairing a matte liquid liner with a glossy cream shadow. Together, the look will capture all the things a maximalist loves about makeup: highlights, shadows and precision. Here, we challenged makeup influencer and artist Dana Renée for her take on a maximalist eye makeup look. The best part? You can recreate the entire thing for under $55.

STEP 1:

Fill in Your Brows

Using the Maybelline New York TattooStudio Brow Lift Stick with Tinted Wax Conditioning Complex, start by filling in and shaping the brows. This product really makes it easy to add color to the brows, and even has a small brush on its dual end to brush hairs in place.
STEP 2:

Apply Concealer

Next, apply the Maybelline New York SuperStay Full Coverage Liquid Concealer on the under eye area to help mattify and brighten. The precision tip doe-foot applicator makes it easy to apply under the inner corner and outer corner for extra radiance.

STEP 3:

Add a Layer of Cream Shadow

To add some sparkle to the look, add a layer of the Maybelline New York Eyestudio ColorTattoo Metal 24HR Cream Gel Eyeshadow in Creamy Beige with a flat eyeshadow brush. Remember to pack the color onto the lid and avoid swiping it on — all it will take is a few taps to fully saturate the area.
STEP 4:

Add Your Liner and Mascara

A maximalist’s eye makeup look isn’t complete without matte black liner. Here, we recommend you go graphic with a pigmented pen like the Maybelline New York Hyper Easy Liquid Pen No-Skip Eyeliner. Start by lining the upper lash line and extending it out to a wing on the outer corner. Then, go back in and extend the line into your inner corner as well. Complete the liner by dragging it from the outer lash line in a circular motion up onto the upper crease, stopping about halfway across the brow bone.

Finish the look with the Maybelline New York Volum’ Express Colossal Curl Bounce Washable Mascara. It will instantly lift, curl and volumize the lashes for the ultimate maximalist makeup finish.
