Natasha Denona & Patrick Ta Autumn Eye Makeup Tutorial

Captivating Autumn Eyes with Natasha Denona and Patrick Ta

That craving for warm, sunset-inspired eyes? You're not alone. Every autumn, makeup enthusiasts seek that perfect blend of pumpkin spice richness and molten gold shimmer. After analyzing this detailed tutorial featuring Natasha Denona's Dramatic Palette and Patrick Ta's new shimmers, I've distilled a professional approach. These techniques transform fall color theory into wearable artistry. Let's recreate that autumnal glow.

Building Depth with Warm Transitions

Start with Natasha Denona’s Dramatic Palette. Its curated warm tones are ideal for fall. Take the vibrant pumpkin orange shade – a quintessential autumn base. As seen in the tutorial, a large fluffy brush like the Morphe M504 is essential. It diffuses color seamlessly across the crease. Pro tip: Use windshield wiper motions for an airbrushed effect.

Next, switch to a denser, natural hair brush. Natural hair holds more pigment and offers superior blendability. Pack the same orange shade onto the outer corner, concentrating intensity lower than your initial transition layer. This technique builds dimension without harsh lines. For maximum depth, introduce Patrick Ta’s W3 shade – a deep, warm brown. Apply it closest to the lash line on the outer third. Remember: darker shades sit lower on the lid to maintain eye openness. The formula’s buttery texture ensures effortless blending.

Mastering Shimmer Application and Layering

Patrick Ta’s shimmers redefine dimension. Swatches reveal C2 as a standout: a navy base exploding with gold and blue micro-sparkles. Apply shimmer shades after mattes to prevent fallout muddying your base. Use a fingertip or damp flat brush to press – not swipe – Slow Burn cranberry shimmer onto the mobile lid. Its high-impact payoff needs minimal effort.

For complex depth, layer shimmers. Apply "When The Sun Sets" – a warm coppery brown – over Slow Burn’s outer edges. This creates a sunset gradient effect. Then, elevate the brow bone with Natasha Denona’s Y1 mustard gold. Apply it where your deepest crease shade meets the brow bone. This strategic highlight lifts the entire eye shape. Avoid frosty highlights; warm metallics like this harmonize with autumn palettes.

Defining and Finishing Like a Pro

Tightlining transforms lash definition. Use a waterproof cream pencil (like L'Oréal’s cult-favorite, elevated by the precision wand) directly under upper lashes. For added intensity, press Natasha Denona’s deep N1 shade onto the lash line with a micro-brush. This creates subtle smokiness without harsh liner.

Finish with individual lashes on the outer two-thirds of the eye. Connect any gaps with a fine-tip liquid liner (NYX’s is praised for control). Finally, sweep Patrick Ta’s Wear the Sunset across the highest point of the brow bone. Its golden-copper reflects light magically. Set cream products with matching powder shadows to prevent creasing.
