Dark corners smokey eyeshadow look! Pictorial/Tutorial!

Hello Angels!

I'm back with another different smokey eyeshadow and coral lip look that is very wearable during the day and can carry right into night.  It's easy to create and I've outlined the products used and steps below with lots of pics.
The Look:












I used the products pictured below.
Eyes:  MAC paint pot in groundwork, MAC pigment in Tan, MAC pro longwear eyeshadow in legendary black, MAC eyeshadow in Arena, MAC black kohl eyeliner in Feline, Benefit They're Real mascara.
Lips:  Beet lip liner (thick line), Vegas Volt lipstick

Groundwork as the base, all over the mobile lid to just above the crease

Feline pencil in the inner and outer corners of the eye, blend in to soften the effect towards middle of the eye

Legendary Black eyeshadow in the inner and outer corners of the eye over the feline pencil.  Blend well to really soften the edges of the Feline pencil towards the middle of the eye, making sure the color doesn't stray far above the eyelid crease.

Using a SMALL amount of Tan pigment (only need a crumb or two!!), apply to the center of the eyelid from lash line straight up to the brow bone at the highest point of your arch.  On the lid, blend this pigment outwards towards the dark corners.  In the brow highlight, dip your brush into Arena shadow and use this to blend blend blend the Tan pigment across the brow highlight area.  

  Now take a clean shadow brush and blend blend blend!!  Make sure you have no harsh color lines.  You want each of the colors to flow into each other seamlessly.
Next, add black eyeliner to the lower eyelid and smudge into the lower lash line.  Follow with black eyeliner to upper eyelid and at least two coats of mascara to upper and lower lashes.

Finito!  You are ready to serrrrrve.... Face that is!

HAPPY PAINTING!!!

Urban Decay Smoked Palette Smokey Eye Detailed Pictorial!

Hello Angels,

A smokey eye is a very versatile tool to have in your makeup repertoire.  It is very easy to wear during the day, in a professional setting, provided the right shades in the correct amounts are used.  As promised, here for your viewing pleasure is a detailed pictorial of everything I did to achieve this look:

 I used MAC Constructivist as as base and the following UD Smoked Palette colors:

Barlust, Backdoor, Blackout and Mushroom
















Consttructivist as a base/primer










Barlust on lid fro lashes to just above crease


Backdoor over eyelid from lashline to just below crease, or the mobile lid (to create a gradient of color)


 Blackout layered over backdoor, and this time cover even slightly less of the mobile lid

 

Blend, blend blend!!!!
Next Feline pencil to tightline the lower eyelid, and smudged along the lower lashline.  Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion for the upper eyelid

  And......  Mascara (Benefit "They're Real!" is my current fave)

HAPPY PAINTING!!!!!
