SMOKEY EYE W/BLACK + NUDE LIP
HERE ARE SOME QUICK STEPS!!
STEPS 1-6: FOR SMOKEY EYE
Step One: Prepare the Eye Lid
To avoid your eyeshadow sitting in the crease of your eye and to create a longer lasting look prep your eye lid with an eye shadow base / primer. The primer I like to use is mine of course from my shesfabb collection. I have tried tar & a few others but im sticking with mine LITERALLY!!
Step 2: Apply Eyeliner
Use an eye-liner pencil (black or gray looks best) to trace your top lashline from the inner corner right out to the outer corner. Make the line a bit thicker at the outer middle part of your eye. Then, use the same pencil to dot between your lower lashes. Smudge both lashlines with a cotton bud or an eyeliner brush. The eyeliner I like to use is Soft Kohl Liner Pencil in Black as it is great for smudging and easy to apply.
Step 3: Apply a Light Base Colour
Apply a light base colour all over the eye lid and right up to the brow bone. Choose a base colour with shimmer for a more dramatic evening look. Pigement works great after all.
Step 4: Blend in a Darker Colour
Next, apply a darker eye shadow (brown, gray and dark green all work with black or gray eye-liner) over your lid and into your crease, remembering to stop the deep colour at the crease. The key here is to Blend – Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears and blend the color up and outward.
Step 5: Under They Eye
Do the same on your bottom lash line by adding darker eye shadow, however, you will not want to apply very much shadow or go more than a few millimeters below the lash line or you will get that dreaded “black eye” look. Less is more.
Step 6: Apply Lashings of Mascara.
To create a more dramatic look apply a few coats of mascara so lashes are thick and dark. My favorite mascara for evening is Covergirl.
