SMOKE IT OUT//MAKEUP

A neutral brown smokey eye is my go to when I want to make a bit more of an effort with my makeup during the day. On a typical day, I would literally just wear mascara on my eyes, then add a bright lip to make it look as though I have made a bit more of an effort lol. If i do happen to have a bit of time to spare, I wack on a bit of liquid eyeliner because we all know how it completely changes the look of your eyes - magical. However there are days when your look has to take you from day to night, and I think this smokey eye is perfect for that.

To find all the products used on my face, head over to my NIGHT GLAM//MAKEUP post where I run through how I used each of my favourite products!

For my eyes, I started by priming them with my Collection lasting perfection concealer in the shade 1 fair and rubbed it across my eye lid with my finger. To set the concealer, I used the Rimmel stay matte powder in the shade silky beige. Now that my eyelids are all prepped and primed, I took the brown shade in the No7 perfectly bronzed dual bronzer - yes its meant to be used on the cheeks but I love the shade of the contour side for my crease. Once I have blended the brown shade into my crease, I then took the darker brown shade out the the nudes Maybelline palette (4th shade on the bottom row), and placed that in the outer corner to add definition. To bring light to the centre of my eye, I used the shimmery cream shade out of the palette in the centre of my lid and in the inner corner (1st one, top row). Next, I grabbed my L'Oreal Paris super liner in perfect slim, and started by drawing a flick on the outer side of my eye. I then drew a 'guide line' across my lid in order for my to join up the flick with the rest of the line. After curling my eyelashes with a regular eyelash curler, I took my L'Oreal false lash telescopic mascara in black - the best mascara on earth, and coated my top and bottom lashes.

For my lips, I lined my lips with my Mac lip pencil in the shade 'sublime culture' followed by the perfect pink lipstick - Mac's matte please me!
