Quick Answer

To achieve a natural eye look with The Chosen Bun Palette, focus on light matte shades for the lid, a slightly deeper matte in the crease, and a subtle shimmer on the center of the lid—blending well between each step.

Why The Chosen Bun Palette Works for Natural Looks

The Chosen Bun Palette is designed with 4 mattes and 5 shimmers, all in neutral tones. This mix lets you build a soft, everyday eye without needing extra products. The mattes provide a smooth base, while the shimmers add a hint of glow when you want it.

Because the shades are highly pigmented and buildable, you can control the intensity. Start with a light hand and add more product gradually—this is key to keeping the look natural.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

One common mistake is applying shimmer all over the lid. For a natural look, reserve shimmer for the center of the lid or the inner corner. This adds brightness without looking overdone.

Another mistake is skipping the blending step between shades. Harsh lines make the eye look less natural. Take a few extra seconds to blend the edges with a clean brush.

Step-by-Step Natural Eye Tutorial

  1. Prime your eyelids: Start with an eyeshadow primer or a concealer to create a smooth, even base. This helps the mattes and shimmers adhere better and prevents creasing. Use a small amount of primer and blend it well; too much can make shadows patchy.
  2. Apply a light matte base: Choose the lightest matte shade from The Chosen Bun Palette and sweep it all over your eyelid, from lash line to brow bone. This evens out the skin tone and gives you a clean canvas. Tap off excess product from your brush to avoid fallout.
  3. Define the crease with a mid-tone matte: Using a fluffy blending brush, apply a mid-tone matte shade into the crease. Use a windshield-wiper motion to blend back and forth, building color gradually. Don't skip blending; harsh lines are the most common mistake here.
  4. Add shimmer to the center of the lid: With a flat brush, press a shimmer shade onto the center of your eyelid. This adds dimension and catches the light without looking too intense. Apply shimmer with your finger for a more intense payoff, but keep it to the center only.
  5. Highlight the inner corner and brow bone: Use a light shimmer or matte shade to highlight the inner corner of your eye and just under the brow bone. This brightens the eyes and completes the natural look. A little goes a long way; start with a small amount and build if needed.
  6. Blend everything together: Take a clean blending brush and softly go over the edges where shades meet. This ensures a seamless transition and a soft, natural finish. If you see any harsh lines, keep blending until they disappear.
