'Traditional Smoky' Look + Tutorial
This look is a traditional smoky eye paired with light pink lips. I meant to do this look and a tutorial for a while and I finally got around to it. I will be away next week in Chicago for business so I wanted to get a tutorial out there before I leave. I hope you guys have a great week! See ya!
Eyes:
PRIME:I started off with Urban Decay Primer Potion all over my lid up to the brow bone. I applied MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW35 all over my lid up to my browbone to even out my lid. I then used MUFE Aqua Black Waterproof Cream Eye Shadow on the lid as my primary base. Paula Dorf Eye Primer Brush

On the inner lid and tearduct area I applied MAC Modest Tone Eyeshadow (satin ivory). MAC 239 Eye Shader Brush
Next on the lid I applied Rock & Republic Fatalistic Eye Color (matte black). Sigma Medium Angled Shading - E70 Brush
On the crease and for blending I applied Smashbox Nude Eyeshadow (matte nude). Sigma Medium Angled Shading - E70 Brush
On the browbone area for blending and highlight I used Bare Escentuals Clear Radiance All Over Face Color (shimmery light pink). Sigma Large Shader - E60 Brush
For my lower lashline I used MAC Eye Kohl Pencil in Smoulder (matte black) topped with Rock & Republic Fatalistic Eye Color (matte black). Sigma Small Angle - E65 Brush
BROWS:
My brows are filled in with MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Stud and NARS Coconut Grove Eyeshadow (matte blackened brown). Paula Dorf Eye Definer Flat Top Brush
DEFINE:
I lined my lower waterline with L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black. Sigma Eye Liner - E05 Brush
I used Covergirl LashBlast Mascara for my lashes and added Beautee Sense Adventurous Eyelashes for effect.
Lips:
POLISH:
For my lips I used MAC English Accents Lipglass (creamy pink).
Face:
FINISH:
I primed my skin with Tarte ReCreate™ Silicone-Free Primer. I used MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NC45 - Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush - for my face and set my t-zone with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark - Sigma Round Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush .
I used MAC Pink Cult Blush (matte neutral pink) for my cheeks - Sephora Professionnel Contour Blush/Bronzer Brush #43, MUFE #1 Sculpting Kit for contour and MAC Style Blush (shimmery golden pink) for highlight - Sigma Angled Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush.
I so want your MU skills:) Great look. I love this!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the smokey Tina, the basic black smokey is always the hottest IMO :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have fun in your trip, even though it's for work
Just finished watching the tutorial. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing and have a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteI really have been liking these newer looks! They are more simple but so much more flattering and easy to wear! I dont get the volume comments, I'm glad I can hear you well!
ReplyDeleteThat's the best smokey eye I've seen.....I will be trying this out : )
ReplyDeleteHey Tina!! I like the smoky eye, I'ma have to give it a try. Hope u have a safe trip and some fun in my hometown.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Thanks Jinz. I bet u do just fine. Took me years to even try a smoky look. Hahahaa!
ReplyDeleteThanks Saadeh. Classic smokies rule. Still getting comfy with it tho. LOL. I will try to make the best of it here. We r going to Whirly Ball this week. :)
Thanks so much Jenelle. Hopefully I make it back in one piece. My poor makeup is lonely :(
Thanx Shannon. Yep I have been doing simplier looks lately...winter blues maybe? Plus they take less time :) Glad u like them. Silly people with no concept of volume control....we have a little volume level button for a reason. Tsk tsk
Thanks Dan hon! I hope u do! Let me know how it goes.
Thanks Carnita doll! Have fun with it my dear. I wonder what I can do out here for St. Patty's Day?
Love the look! Usually I pair my traditional smoky eye with a nude lip. I like how you paired it with the pink lip. I will have to try that!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Looking forward to your review of the sigma brushes. I really enjoy your blog. It is so refreshing to read and watch content from someone with such obvious intelligence. Thank you!
