*Long post and photo overload*
It’s 1.30 am on my clock and I am still wide awake.
Last Friday I received a Facebook comment requesting for a smokey eyes, I can simply say that there are tons of tutorial in Youtube. I am not quite sure if it’s easy to follow a look through reading.
My best friend told me that it’s still different if the steps came from a trusted friend.
So I hope you will like the look I did. (Shout out to Klang and Joven)
I called this classic smokey eyes because I used gray, silver, and black. Nowadays we can play around with different colors and achieve the same effect.
I used the Dollface Vanity Palette for this.
I wish I could put up a video for this so that I do not have to make long explanations.
So I am jotting down tips first.
- Prime your eyes – It makes the color more vivid and will make it last longer.
- Slowly build the colors – since this is a dark makeup it’s hard to erase mistakes.
- Blend – as much as possible avoid harsh edges especially on the crease area.
- Add demi lashes or full false lashes if desired. Blend it with your own lashes using a mascara.
As for the e/s application (use the legend in the above palette)
- Apply #2 on the entire lid
- Apply #3 on the outer v extending the color to your crease
- Overlay #4 on your outer v and crease area as well
- Blend until the smokey eye effect is achieve
- You can add more #4 if you like
- Apply #4 halfway on to your lower lash line
- Apply #1 on the center of your lids, inner corner, and the other half of your lower lash line
- Line your waterlines using your blackest eyeliner pencil.
- Apply white or peach e/s on your brow bone.
- Curl your lashes, place your false lashes (optional) and apply mascara.
- Define your brows.
For the rest of the face
- Contour your face (cheek bone and nose)
- Add a subtle cheek color
- Apply nude lipstick (I used concealer) and top it off with a pink lip gloss.
