This is the look we're going to achieve! My foundation, concealer, and brows were done before starting this tutorial.



Prep your eyelids with a base. I'm using UDPP and MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl. Apply all over lid and past the crease.



Put loose powder under your eye to catch any fall out. Looking ridiculous is very crucial in this step hahaha!


Apply a light silver shadow on the inner 1/3 of your lid and past your crease with a regular eyeshadow brush. You can go as high above as you want.



Now apply a darker gray shadow to the middle of your lid with the same eyeshadow brush. Make sure you wiped off the shadow from before. When applying shadow, try to pat your shadows on the lid instead of sweeping it. Patting your shadows leads to less fall out and more color payoff. Don’t worry about blending the colors yet, we’ll do that later =)




Take your 272 brush or any angle e/s brush you might have, get some black e/s, and draw an angled line extending from the outer corner of your lid.


Using the same angle brush, connect the end of that line to the rest of your shadow.



Fill in the empty space with black e/s. Now it’s time for blending! Oh how I LOVE my Sephora blending brush!! It’s popping out in the picture because it’s so eager to blend lol! You see those harsh edges and separation of colors?? Big no no!!



Tada! Blending done! I use little tiny circular motions in between the colors. I don’t really favor the windshield wiper motion.



Add a highlight to the brow bone and blend it into the rest of your shadow. I’m using MAC Naked Lunch e/s.


Wipe off the loose powder under your eyes with a sponge then Add your liner of choice to the top of your lid and also your bottom. I love my fluidliners! Can’t live without them! As you can see, I’m a HUGEEEE fan of winged liner, I do it almost everyday!~


Now take your pencil brush the MAC 219 and first take your black e/s and put it on the outer 1/3 of your lower lid, right under the liner. Take the same gray you used on the top lid and put it on the middle of your lower lid. Finally, take the same light silver you used and put it in the inner 1/3 of your lower lid. Smudge and blend them all together with the same pencil brush.


Add a nice shimmery white highlight to the very inner corners of your eye. I’m using NYX Ultra Pearl Mania loose pigment. It’s a subtle change but really makes a big difference!



Apply mascara of choice. Maybe 2-3 coats. And make sure you comb through with an eyelash comb! Don’t want no clumps now do we?!?!


Smokey Eyes DONE! Yaaay!

Now put on a nice subtle shimmery peach or pink blush and a light lipgloss and take out your camera because it’s time to be a CAMWHORE!!!!! =D











PEACE OUT PRETTY LADIES~~! *MUAH*
