3 in 1 Makeup Stick​ Challenge: Easy Makeup Look for Hooded Eyes (2025)

This year, Pantone’s Color of the Year is Moocha Mousse, a warm, medium brown.

In this tutorial, I’m challenging myself to create a complete monochromatic makeup look using a 3 in 1 makeup stick, featuring the Moocha Mousse shade.

I’ll show you how to incorporate this versatile product in multiple ways, from eyes to lips and even contouring.

This look is especially great for those with hooded eyes. Let’s get started!

Tools and materials:

• Makeup brushes
• Beauty sponge
• Eyelash curler
• Tweezers
• Lash applicator tool
• Foundation
• Concealer
• Eye pencil in chocolate
• Liquid highlighter
• Setting powder
• Eyelash primer
• Mascara
• Individual lashes
• Lip balm
• Lip gloss

1. Foundation

Start by applying your foundation. Use your fingers to distribute it across your face first. Then, buff the foundation into your skin using a brush.

2. Set with a damp sponge

Take a damp makeup sponge and press over your foundation. This will ensure there are no streaky marks left from the brush.

3. Apply eyeshadow

For the eyes, we’re using an eye pencil in a chocolate shade, very close to the Pantone Moocha Mousse shade.

Warm up the pencil by swiping it on the back of your hand first. Then, use a small makeup brush to pick up the product and buff it onto your eyelids.

This technique is especially great for hooded eyes because you can apply it all over the lid and even take it higher toward the brow bone, creating a more open, lifted look.

4. Blend the eyeshadow

Use a fluffy blending brush to smooth out the edges of the eyeshadow. This will help create a more seamless, gradient look, blending the color into your skin tone.

5. Layer the color

Add another layer of the pencil, following the same technique as before. Repeat this process until you're happy with the depth of the color.

6. Lower lash line

Using a small pencil brush, apply the product close to the root of the eyelashes, starting from the outer corner.

Be sure to connect the outer corner of your lower lash line with the top lid, as this will help frame your eye.

7. Waterline

Take the same pencil and apply it along your waterline for added definition.

Let the product dry, and then apply a second coat along your waterline. You can even add a third coat if you want a more defined line.

8. Apply concealer

To create a flawless finish around the eyes, take a hydrating concealer and dab a small amount onto the back of your hand.

Using a fluffy blending brush, pick up the product and gently buff it along the edges of your eyeshadow.

9. Apply mascara

Curl your lashes and then apply an eyelash primer to enhance your lashes, followed by mascara to define and lift them.

10. Individual lashes

If you want extra volume or a more flirtatious look, apply individual lashes.

For a soft, wispy effect, use dovetail or fishtail lashes. Start at the outer edge of your lash line with the longest lashes.

11. Touch-up concealer

Go back to your serum concealer and apply it to any areas that need more coverage. I tend to focus on the center of the face, where I get a little redness.

12. Adding glow and coverage to the cheeks

Take a tinted product and apply a small amount to a highlighter brush.

Gently buff the product over the concealer on your cheeks. This adds coverage while giving a beautiful glow to the skin.

13. Brighten under the eyes

Apply a bit more concealer under your eyes to brighten the area and give a refreshed look.

For a lifting effect, apply a little bit of concealer to the outer corners of your eyes to lift the eyeshadow and give a subtle lift.

14. Contour face

Take your chocolate eye pencil and place a small amount on the back of your hand to warm it up.

Mix this with some foundation or concealer to create a soft, warm, contour shade. Then use this to sculpt your face.

15. Apply blush

To create a bronzy blush, mix a bit more of the chocolate pencil with the concealer or foundation you’ve already blended on the back of your hand.

Apply this to the back half of your cheeks for a warm, natural flush.

16. Set the skin

Use a setting powder to set your makeup in place, ensuring it lasts throughout the day.

17. Lips

Apply lip balm, and then use the chocolate brown eye pencil to line your lips and fill them in for a defined, natural lip color.
