I dared to try this look, after getting all positive comments from all of you on my easy smokey eye look. This is my first attempt to an almost full version of a smokey eye look.
If you like it, you can read the tutorial below:
For eyes:
1) Prep and prime your eyelids to make them the perfect canvas for colors.
2) Apply skin colored blush all over your lid till the browbone.
3) Smokey eyes usually require highlighting your browbone. For most of the Indian skin tones, using white can look too stark and OTT, so I am using a slightly neutral skin color for highlighting. The highlighter from Maybelline's Chai Latte Quad can work excellently here.
4) Apply a shimmery brown eyeshadow all over the lid, till the crease and feather it out. I have applied Inglot shade - #422
5) Take a matte/shimmer bright color of your choice. I am taking Inglot's red color, i.e. shade 382 from my inglot palette using a flat brush and tapping it at the center of the lids.It is a matte red color.
5) Now take a black pencil liner and apply it all over your upper lashline. You need not be too precise in this, as we anyway are gonna smudge that.
6) Take a flat brush or pencil brush and smudge the line all over your upper lashline, and the moment you reach the outer end of your eye, bring the liner down the lower lashline as well.
7) Apply a matte/shimmery black eyeshadow over the smudged liner to seal the effect and make it look more effective. I've used Inglot eyeshadow Shade - AMC #64 for this.
8) Smudge the black eyeshadow above the upper lashline well to blend properly. Line your waterline with black kohl pencil. I am using Black kohl pencil from my Glamour Goddess Palette for this. Pat some more of the bright color after this, if you feel that the color is lost in all the blacks and browns.
9) Apply black eyeliner close to your waterline. I've used Catrice eye liner. Curl your lashes and apply generous amount of very black Mascara. I am using Estee Lauder Magnascopic mascara here.
10) Here is the completed eye look:
For Face:
1) For night party look, it is necessary that your foundation has low SPF, as this will prevent you from getting ghostly white look in photos. I've applied Oriflame Vision's peach me perfect here.
2) Apply concealer under your eyes, around your nose and lips to hide any of the blemishes and pigmentation, which might be visible through the foundation.
3) I've set my makeup using Catrice Mineral compact powder.
4) For shimmer I've first applied Oriflame's cream blush stick, and then topped it up with a forsty pink blush from my Glamour Goddess makeup palette.
For Lips:
I applied Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick in shade Rubellite and topped it up with Estee Lauder gloss in icy pink - shade #10.
And here is the overall look:
Products Used:
Inglot eyeshadow freedom system palette - Shades #422, 382 and AMC #64
Maybelline Chai Latte Quad - Highlighter
Catrice Eye liner pen
Oriflame Lash curler
Oriflame eyeshadow brush
Estee Lauder Magnascopic mascara
Black Kohl pencil from Glamour Goddess Palette
Catrice Mineral powder
Catrice concealer stick
Frosty pink blush from glamour goddess palette
Estee Lauder Lip Gloss - Icy Pink - #10
