So I have been asked to show how to do a smokey eye.. I would like to point out, that I am not the biggest fan of it, as I feel it doesn't suit my face shape! Also I feel most smokey eyes are too dark and way over the top, so I tried to create a toned down look!
I also wanted to moan about my instagram crashing! I wanted to do a short video of showing exactly how the look is achieved, but halfway through instagram decided to crash and I gave up! Nonetheless I've got a video of the finished look at the end of the post!
I have looked through some tutorials such as this one by MakeupbyEvon:

Definitely helped, but I didn't quite follow it! This is because I wanted to do it with minimum amount of makeup products. So these are all the products that I have used on my eyes:
And these are:
- Ardell Eyelashes (No: 120)
- MUA Eyeshadow Palette (Shade: Undressed)
- Maybelline Gel Eyeliner (Shade: Black)
- Eyeshadow Brush (Brand Unknown)
So using these products I have achieved this look:
I have followed this diagram:

However since I didn't have eye primer, I have used shade Naked (all the shades are from MUA Eyeshadow Palette Undressed) to cover the whole of my eyelid, as that acts a bit like a primer by not letting eyeshadow move to the crease of the eye. Then as shown in the diagram for areas named 1 I used shade Shy, area 2 shade Fiery and area 3 shade Obsessed. I used the same brush, but cleaned it on the palm of my hand before putting different colour on it. The downfall of this look is that I haven't got a blending brush, and this is essential to achieve this look! I am going to make sure I order it and do another look when it arrives! A little tip for when you are applying all the different colours, errors may occur and I found that even with a flat eyeshadow brush you can use shade Naked to blend and even everything out!
Anyway afterwards I had applied my Maybelline Gel Eyeliner on the on my eyelash line (top and bottom) as well as on my waterline!
Here is a video of the look:

(It's processing at the moment, should be up shortly!)
And there are some more pictures(I just came out the shower when I've done this look, so thats why I have a towel on my head):
Hope you have liked the look!
Lots of love,
Sant Lucijaa!
