The latest adaptation of Cinderella recently hit theaters, and to celebrate the release, MAC launched a new beauty collection inspired by the film.

Even though I did not buy any of the items from the collection (because, to be honest, nothing wowed me), I was inspired by the products and colors. Because of this, I decided to create a makeup look inspired by the woman at the center of it all, Cinderella.

However, I wanted to do an updated look, because sadly we don’t really have fancy balls (unless you count prom) to attend. Instead, this modern Cinderella-inspired makeup would look gorgeous for a date night or dressy occasion.

What You’ll Need:

For this look, I will primarily be using two palettes. However, one palette is filled with neutrals, so any taupe shade (I’m using Makeup Geek “Barcelona Beach”) and warm dark brown (MUG “Cocoa Bear”) will do.

I’ll also be using three shadows from theBalm Shady Lady Vol 1 Palette, which unfortunately seems to be discontinued. (Although Hautelook sometimes has theBalm products on sale, so you may still be able to snatch it up.) Don’t worry – I will be providing dupes below!

How-to:

To keep your makeup looking great all night, start out with a primed lid.

Next, apply your taupe shade onto the crease. Make sure you blend it out well.

Place your base shade onto your lid. Make sure to stop before you get to your crease color.

This is the shade “Easy Wheezie” from theBalm palette, but the closest alternative I could find was L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in “Infinite Skies”. Another alternative is Inglot Eyeshadow in #68. I don’t own the L’Oreal shade, but from swatches online, it pulls more blue, instead of a blue/purple mixture like the one I’m using.
