I have been asked many times by friends about how I do my make up so I thought I'd make a little tutorial on how I do my party smokey eyes!
The photos are a bit rubbish for now but I hope this helps!
Step 1
Make sure your whole face is fully moisturized, first because it is great for your skin, secondly it helps the makeup last longer and keeps it from cracking over the evening!
Step 2
After pencilling on my eyebrow, I always like to put a bit of cover up stick over my eyelids as mine are very purple, again this does help the makeup keep for longer. I then sweep a white over my whole lid all the way up to the eyebrow, this highlights and lifts the lid.
Step 3
Grabbing a gold/natural brown colour, I sweep across the middle of the lid to the end. Folding a peice of tissue paper, I hold this from the end of my eye across to my eyebrow creating the perfect shape then add a dark brown to that side of the lid.
Step 4
Using a pencil eyeliner, I define the top lid and create a small flick at the end.
In this picture, I have added a little bit of black/grey eyeshadow over my lid for a more dramatic effort, this is entirely up to you depending on how smokey you want it to look!
Step 5
After applying cover up stick under my eyes, (I do this now due to the amount of eyeshadow that falls on your cheek during application) I place a small amount of white on the inner eye to make them appear bigger.
Step 6
Using a gold again across the middle of the bottom of the eye then blend it into a darker brown towards the end of the eye, very similarly to how we did the top eyelid!
Step 7
Using a pencil eyeliner, I follow the shape of the inner eye and extend slightly to create a cat eye look! Then while colouring the inner eye, I make sure it smudges a little bit onto the lower lid to create a smokey look.
Step 8
This is where I go over the top eyeliner and bottom eyeliner with liquid eyeliner as this makes the look far more defined and also makes it last a lot longer!
Step 9
Last but defo not least, mascara! I always make sure to do the first coat on the wrong way first, coating the top of the lashes then go the right way and pull the lashes upwards, this makes them appear a lot thicker!
Tada! I hope my small editorial helped with all of you who have asked me! Enjoy!
