I had promised to come up with an instruction of how I did the easy peasy smoky brown eyes
which you can wear even in the day time. I have not shot step by step tutorial since I was in a hurry when I was going out. Anyway, I think this elaborate tutorial would help. Sorry, the one I showed wasn't that good. But as I intensified it later, it did look wonderful! I shall do it again and shoot everything for you. I can promise you are going to love it.
I prepared my lids with Inglot eyeshadow base in shade 01.
First I applied some of Colorbar's I define pencil in Black on my lids. Since it does not smudge much,
would create a good base. I applied it on my lid till my crease.
Next, I took some of Illamsqua's eyeshadow in Verneau to create a gradient. With a fluffy dome brush, I blended it onto the eye sockets.
Then, I took the brown shadow that is left in a sample baggie. My friend Kuheli had given it to me. I have transferred the contents into a tiny pot. But whatever is left in the bag is going a long way. With my Coastalscents dome shaped crease brush, I applied the brown on the crease focusing more at the corners.
Next, I took some charcoal grey shadow from Maybelline's mono range. It's an old shadow , but I do love using it. ( watch out the dent in it!) I so wish Maybelline reintroduced this line of matte shadows. I applied it with faces' eyeshadow brush. ( Oh dear!! I love this brush!)
I packed it on the entire lid with the Colorbar I define as the base. I blended it well to ensure that it does seamlessly into the crease color.
I took the plummy dark brown shade from MUA Heaven and Earth palette and with the Bourjois smudge brush, applied it to the lower lashline.
Last but not the least, I did my waterline with Colorbar I define and a thin line of Maybelline gel liner on the upper lid.
A coat of mascara and that gets me set for the game!!
Hope you found the post easy. I wish I had time to shoot everything in leisure. But these days I am too pressed for time. A scholar's life is not an easy one.
Love
