copy and paste: BANGS & SMOKEY EYE
SIDE BANGS & SMOKEY EYES ♡
obsessed with this look — so let’s copy it.
over-direction is a haircutting technique where the hair is combed or pulled away from its natural fall before cutting --
pulling your bangs in the opposite direction, then trimming,
leaving the bangs fall back into natural place with added volume and movement and not losing much length.
LINE YOUR EYES -> using pencils and gels, line the inside, the outside, in fact — just smudge it all over the eyes
SHADOW -> create a “smoked out” effect but blending a lighter shade onto of the black eyeliner, a light grey or a rusty brown to melt and smoke out the liner and shadow, be messy, be sexy, go wild.
cheap pencils— drugstore pencils continue to get the job done
soft pencils - NYX jumbo pencils are soft and have great coverage,
eye shadow singles — ditch the big pallets and grab some drugstore matte eyeshadow in NEUTRAL shades (nudes, browns, blacks)
since the eyes are so heavy, and matte —
the skin should be light and dimensional
PREP -> drench the skin in heavy, thick moisturizer boosted with hydration and mix a few drops of a liquid glow for an effortless
cheap but effective - drugstore hydration is were it’s at,
LIQUID GOLD — spoil your skin with skincare infused makeup, like glow drops from R.E.M or hydro-drops from Glow Recipe
just like the skin, the lips play a reduced role to keep the focus on the eyes… so keep it simple!
LINE -> line the lips with a liner closest to your natural lip color, even over-line if you want to
BALM -> run a fresh colorless balm for shine and a light wash of color
THE HOLY GRAIL -> NYX lip liners to save the day
the balm .com -> from Nivea to Dior, there’s endless fresh colorless balms, just pick one
be messy and sexy, lean in onto the look!!!!
till next time readers!!! oxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoooo
