FACE Shots: LOOK ELECTRIFYING shocking SMOKEY EYE

WHAT A FUN LOOK & SIMPLE to do!!!

Becoming a mature woman doesn’t mean fun can’t be had with makeup looks. This look is a prime example, a twist of shocking pink on a mundane purple smokey eye.

This look is all about the eye, rather simple and doesn’t involve too many steps. Everyone knows the secret to “the perfect” smokey eye, blend, blend, blend. After you’re done with the blending, just apply the liner. Listed below are the following steps I took to achieve this shocking smokey eye.

 

Eyes: Primer-Two-Faced glitter adhesive, Base– Laura Gellar, Makeup Forever #9 on the lid, Mac-Swiss Chocolate in the crease and, also Mac-Naked Lunch on the brow bone. After blending like your life depends upon it, I added NYX- Vivid Brights collection in the color Vivid Petal on the lash line and a waterproof white liner on the waterline.

Lashes: Ardell “Natural Whispies

Skin: Smashbox CC cream in the color medium dark and Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder **this is great for putting on before shadow to avoid creasing.

I absolutely loved doing this look. This is one of those looks that most people can pull off if done correctly.

EARRINGS: Can’t go wrong with a pair of hoops! Get yours here.

EYES: The colors are vibrant and compliment one another. I decided to use Make Up Forever No.9 and Nars duo palette in South Pacific which, are  pricey brands but in my opinion the color payoff justifies the price. Make Up Forever and Nars eye shadows blend well with other products and they last long after application. I also used Ardell brand – “Demi Wispies” for the top lashes and, rounding out this colorful eye look on my bottom lashes is NYX mascara; color CM02 Blue/Bleu. Any white eyeliner will do for the waterline. (While researching the products on this look, I discovered that Nars and Make Up Forever have discontinued  these colors however; the BH Cosmetics Foil Eyes Palette will give a similar look for less.)

*I will use BH COSMETICS and do the same look another day* I did a look here.

FACE: CC Cream by Smashbox in the color “Medium Dark”  and NARS “Taos” on the cheeks.

LIPS: Beauty store brand NK color A12 lip liner and Maybelline “Raw Chocolate” (Every time I see this color I buy it) reminds me of old Hollywood. Their whole Color Sensational buff lipstick line is amazing.
