Spring Smoky Eye Tutorial (difficulty- two starks out of five)
hi!!
SO you want to do a
spring smoky eye huh
ok
FIRST, I'm gonna start off with a moisturiser. Today I'm using Soap and Glory's Bright Here, Bright Now energy balm. Then I'm going to use about half a pump of my Rimmel Wake Me Up (100 Ivory) and half a pump of my 17 Miracle Matte foundation (Soft Ivory), and I'll take my Manicare Airbrush stippling brush and mix the foundations together on the back of my hand. then I'l stipple the mix all over my face, and then clean my brush and gently stroke it down my face towards my jawline to get rid of any streaks or uneven colour.
That's what my brush looks like.
When my foundation is on and even, I conceal, using my concealer palette (I don't know the brand, sorry it was a gift!) and I use a light ivory colour and my ring finger to pat it gently onto my undereye area and any blemishes. Then I'll pat some green concealer onto my nose/cheek area where I have redness. I'll top off with translucent powder after I do my eyes.
The Eyes:
For my eyes, I'm not going to be using a base, because this look actually looks better the more worn it gets. I'm going to be using my L.A Colors Star Gaze palette (Contemplate) and a hilariously cheap primark eye shadow palette.
I'm going to take the light green colour, third from the bottom left, and pat it all over my lids. Then I'll take the darker green to the left of it:
and stroke that from the inner corner of my eyelid all along the crease.
Then I take the brightest green and concentrate that right in the centre of my eyelids. When that's done (and vivid!) I use the darkest green (top right) and stroke it SLIGHTLY above my natural crease line (this creates a bigger eye, but only when used lightly, any heavy handedness and you could walk away looking like you fell asleep on your makeup palette). Then blend!!!!
BLEND FOR YOUR LIFE
I actually use a watercolour brush because it's so soft and gentle, it always blends nicely rather than streaking, or moving the colour. I go in tiny circles from my lashline to my eyebrow, then clean up any stray colour with a cotton bud and a cleanser. I used my No. 7 Soft &Sooothed Gentle Cleanser.
It should now look something like this:
I'm going to include a video of me applying my dark green to my outer corner and crease, to make sure you guys know what you're '''aiming'''' for.
Now, when I've finished blending (trick answer, NEVER finish blending) I take my Essence liquid eyeliner in black (it has a little nib like a pen so it's great for thick lines) and I apply a cateye that thickens significantely towards the outer corner. Here's one with, one without;
I then top off with lashings of mascara. I use both NYC Big Bold Curl (Extra Black) and Benefit They're Real!
By 'lashing of mascara' I mean about 20 million coats of each. I use the NYC for volume and the Benefit for separation and length. As long as you work quickly and without letting the coats dry, it won't clump. (Quick tip, to get extra volume, place your brush at the base of your lashes and then wiggle it upwards quickly, in a zig-zag motion. This gets mascara on the tops and sides as well as the bottom)
Then I use my Essence Eyebrow Designer in 02 Brown on my eyebrows.
I like a defined heavy brow, sue me (please don't sue me).
I finish off by highlight my inner corner, brownbone and lower lip with my Soap and Glory Arch De Triumph highlighting crayon.
