Of all the eye makeup looks I’ve used over the past — let’s see, I started using makeup when I was 14, as well as I’m 37 now (LOL! very first I typed, “…and I’m 27 now.”) — 23 years (!), this easy smokey number with brown as well as black has to be one of my preferred five.

It’s one of my finest conversation starters, since whenever I wear it as well as bump into fellow charm fiends (MY PEOPLE!), there’s a quite great possibility they’ll ask what I’m wearing.

ANNONSE

I like that it’s simple as well as elegant, as well as even though it’s much more remarkable than the look earlier this week, I still believe it fits within the “natural with a kick” category.

In terms of products you’ll need, there’s not much to it. just a few things…

Like last time, I’m mainly utilizing MAC products here, however there are actually lots if not numerous similar shades available from other brands. There’s no reason you couldn’t utilize some other colors as well as brushes you already have on hand.

Ikke sant. Now, on to the look!

First, it’s time to prime — at least if you have oily lids. If not, let’s avoid ahead.

Next (or perhaps first, if you didn’t requirement to prime), get something like MAC Kohl Power Pencil in Feline, as well as apply around your lids.

Don’t concern if it looks a bit untidy at this point, since we’ll be doing some blending in a minute. best now we’re just trying to begin with a great base as well as provide the general look some depth.

You can most likely assumption one of the reasons I’m a fan of Feline, however it’s likewise very soft as well as simple to blend.

For this step, I’d most likely steer remove of quick-setting, long-wearing pencils like metropolitan Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion that may not enable sufficient time for blending, however other than that, any type of great black liner ought to do.

Now, take your blending clean (I’m utilizing the MAC 217 here), as well as carefully begin buffing out the edges; your smokey look ought to begin to take shape.

Next, proceed to line your water lines with Feline. No concerns if a few of your liner ends up transferring onto your lower lash lines since we’ll likewise be smudging that in a second.

Then, take your shader clean (I like the MAC 239), as well as utilize it to push your eyeshadow, in my situation MAC Eyeshadow in Soba, directly on top of Feline. As you do so, try to concentrate many of the color along your lash lines, aiming for a gradient that slowly fades upward as it moves toward your brow bone.

Clean the blending clean you utilized earlier (in my situation it was the MAC 217) by wiping the clean head across a paper towel, as well as then utilize it to continue buffing out the edges.

Nesten ferdig!

Now, get the shader clean you utilized to apply Soba, as well as carefully run it along your lower lash line to mix any type of leftover shadow on the clean with any type of liner that may have migrated to your lower lash line.

Wrap things up by filling out your brows as well as applying your preferred mascara to your upper as well as lower lashes.

Det er det! If things didn’t turn out precisely the method you really hoped they would the very first time you provide this a try, don’t provide up. keep at it. I try new things all the time, as well as in some cases they don’t work out. Shoot, in some cases they’re downright disastrous, LOL! I always try to remind myself that eye makeup is like any type of other skill. things get much better with practice.

Åh! — a great deal of the time I’ll try new looks after I work out, or before I laundry my deal with at night. It may noise kinda wackadoo, however I figure, if I’m going to be washing my deal with anyway, may also slip in a bit method beforehand.

With appears like this one, when you begin feeling positive with your technique, begin experimenting, since this look is a fantastic jumping off point for great deals of other eye looks.

ANNONSE

You might try different combinations of liners as well as shadows, or perhaps add a darker shade on the outer third, to smoke out the look even more. I bet a thick feline eyeliner along the upper lash line, or a pair of false lashes, would look truly pretty.

Ditt vennlige samfunn sjarmavhengig,
