Winter Smokey Eye

I am one of those girls that only wear make up when I feel like getting dressed up because I don't see the point in wasting my make up when I am just lounging around! However, when I do my make up I absolutely love it. It is honestly my favourite thing about going out.

I always wear a brown or rusty smokey eye because it compliments my blue eyes and I just feel a traditional black smokey eye is to harsh on my skin. I have been loving a purple brown smokey eye with dewy skin and nude lips.

This is how it looked:

The products I used:

- MAC Strobe Cream as a primer

- MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC15

- Maybelline Fit me Concealer

- MAC Prep and Prime Concealer in LightBoost for under my eyes

- Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

- Catrice SunGlow Bronzer for the Contour

- MAC blush in Well Dressed

- MAC Mineralize SkinFinish in Soft and Gentle

- RAIN Biologie rehydration face mist to give my skin more glow

- Catrice Eyebrow Filler gel

- Rimmel Eyebrow pencil in Dark Brown

- Catrice Eyeshadow Primer

- Stila Into the Light Pallete

 - Inglot quad (do not know the name of the colours)

- MAC pigment in Vanilla

- Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara

- Estee Lauder Creme Lipstick in Crystal Baby

How I did my Eyes:

After blending the Eyeshadow primer all over my lid I used Bare (The lightest colour) in the Stila pallete for all over my lid to just set the primer. I then used Bliss (The middle colour at the top) in the Stila pallete as a transition colour in my crease just so that the darker shades can blend easily. After that I used Sunset (The colour to the right of Bliss) in my crease and the outer corner of my lid just to build up colour and shimmer. I then used the dark purple from the Inglot quad very lightly in my crease just for a little bit more depth. This colour is definitely buildable depending on the brush and amount you use.  I also used the Gold from that quad and packed it on the middle of my lid and blended it out for some more sheen. I used the Black eyeshadow of the Stila pallete to line my eyes for a softer look. Be sure to drag the colours with a small brush under the eye for a more smokey effect. I used the Vanilla pigment to highlight my brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes. I then finished off with mascara.

This look can definitely be a lot more dramatic depending on the way your want to wear it; this look, however, is perfect for daytime.
