Smokey Eye #1 Taupe/Brown

Hey hey!
How's everyone doing?! Hope everyone's been healthy XD cuz I'm not. Been going to sleep sooo late... >_< need to do something about it.
Anywayyyyy... I decided to start a smokey eye series :D Cuz I haven't done a lot of dark looks. And summer time is the perfect time for nightouts... hence when smokey looks come handy XD

Here's the first look! Using brown and taupe! :D


If you're interested keep reading ^_~



Stuff used:

1. Natural Eye palette from Too Faced
2. Copperplate from MAC (LOVE this shade!)
3. Bobbi Brown gel liner in Expresso
4. Victoria Secret lipstick in Spotlight (a sheer nude with a sheen. I'd like to use something more opaque but I don't have any XD)
5. Stila Marigold Convertible Color (to contour)
6. MAC light over dark (for blush)
7. Majolica Majorca Lash Expander


For eye shadow I only used three colors
1. Heaven (Too Faced) (not shown in pic, just  a matte white)
2. Sexspresso (Too Faced)
3. Copperplate (MAC)

Here's how I placed the colors:

"Heaven" for inner corner/tear duct and beneath brow
"Copperplate" over the lid and bottom lash line
"Sexspresso" on outer corner and bottom lash line

The key to this look is building up the colors. I only use a bit of Sexspresso at a time and just keep building the intensity
(and you'd always rather use a little at a time so you wouldn't over-do the colors; you can always build up the colors, but mistakes are harder to reverse).

the color got a bit washed out :T

For eyeliner, I smudged the eyeliner out as I was lining my eyes (just using the eyeliner brush) cuz I don't want the distinct eyeliner; I wanted the eyeliner to blend into the eye shadow. For that reason I didn't do cat-eye or anything =)


Feel free to put on some falsies, I'm just lazy XD





Forgot to mention I also used MAC Mineralized Skin Finish to highlight my cheek bones

And as usual... camwhore time... XD

















And... cuz I was bored from posing normal XD

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Hope you guys like it~
