Soft Neutral Smokey Eye

Here's a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to get my Soft Neutral Smokey Eye! I wear this pretty often, its very similar to my last post, but using darker shades to make it more dramatic. I usually wear this during the day time when I go to work, but it works for night time too! :)

I started by priming my lids with Too Faced Shadow Insurance to help keep the colors from fading throughout the day. Then I used my flat eye shadow brush in Bare Minerals Silk Stockings and applied it all over my lid.

Take Bare Minerals eye shadow in In The Nude and apply it to the crease of your lid with a fluffy crease brush.

Then take a stiff crease brush and work Bare Minerals Spiced Fig into the outer portion of the crease to create depth and dimension.

Then you want to add a highlight under your eyebrows to brighten the look. Especially if your eyes tend to stay shadowy, a highlight is always a must. I'm using Bone eyeshadow by ULTA and a fluffy highlighter brush.

Next, using Avon's Ultra Luxury Eye Liner in Black, line the inside of your top and bottom lids (this is also known as "tight lining").

Then line your top lash line with Maybelline's Lash Stilettos Liquid Eye Liner in Black. For a more dramatic look, make a winged tip at the outer corners.

Finally, curl your lashes and add your favorite mascara. I'm using Mary Kay's Lash Love Mascara in I <3 Black.

My Everyday Natural Eye

As always, I started off my priming my lids with Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I used a flat eyeshadow brush and applied Bare Minerals Chic Nude all over my lid.

I then took a fluffy crease brush and applied Bare Minerals Silk Stockings to the crease of my lid, starting at the outer V and working my way in toward the center of my crease.

Next, I applied Bare Minerals In The Nude eyeshadow in my outer crease with a stiff crease brush.

 Then, using a fluffy crease brush, I applied ULTA's Bone eyeshadow underneath my brow bone to highlight.

Using Avon's Ultra Luxury Eyeliner in Black, I lined the outer halves of my top and bottom lid. Stay VERY close to your lash line for both. You want it to look soft.

Finally, finish off with your favorite mascara. I used Mary Kay's Lash Love Mascara in I <3 Black.

That's the completed look! I'll have a video tutorial up on my Youtube page in a few days hopefully. Comment with any requests or questions that you have! :)

New Years Eve Glittery Smokey Eye

This look is a mixture of a picture I saw on Pintrest and DulceCandy87's NYE look! I did this look a couple of nights ago when I was bored and decided to play with my makeup. This is what I came up with, so enjoy! :)

These are the products I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

ULTA eyeshadow in Platinum

ULTA eyeshadow in Granite

Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner in Black

ULTA Amped Lashes in Black

DuoLash Adhesive in Clear-White

Claire's Cosmetics Body Glitter in Silver

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny

NYX Blush in Pinched

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Soft Nude

Victoria's Secret BeautyRush Lipgloss in Slice of Heaven

Start by priming your eyelids with Too Faced Shadow Insurance and blend it all the way up to the browbone.

Rub NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk all over the lid and blend out with a synthetic concealer brush.

With a flat eyeshadow brush, apply ULTA's Platinum eyeshadow on the inner 2/3 of the lid.

Add a piece of tape to the outer corner of the eye to make a sharp angle with the upper lash line.

With a crease brush, apply ULTA's eyeshadow in Granite to the outer V of the eye and into the crease.

On a fluffy blending brush, apply ULTA's eyeshadow in Platinum underneath the browbone. Also move the tape to create an angle with the bottom lash line.

With an angled eyeliner brush, apply ULTA's eyeshadow in Granite to line the lower lash line.

With a smudge brush, buff the line you just created to blend it out.

Using Maybelline's Line Stiletto Liquid Liner in Black, line your upper lash line.

Fill in the two angles that you created on the outer corner of the eye with ULTA's eyeshadow Platinum.

Curl lashes, add mascara and fake lashes if desired.

With a small flat synthetic concealer brush, pick up some clear-white DuoLash adhesive and pat it down over the silver.

Dip the same brush into a silver body glitter and pat it down on top of the adhesive.

And you're all done! I personally adore this look. I went out to get my nails done and do some shopping this morning after I filmed this tutorial and I got so many compliments! Here's some more close ups.

Once the video is finished uploading, I'll put it at the end of this post.
