So I've been M.I.A for a while busy with school and work but I'm back! Last night I was playing around with my Naked 2 Palette and decided to create this look. It's a black/grey smokey cat eye. I decided it would look nice with Nude lips.
I will link all product used at the end.
(Btw the white thing sticking out of my ear is my earphone bud)
First step: I like doing my eye makeup before doing my face just because you can clean everything up after and if eyeshadow falls out onto your cheeks, it won't mess anything up. So first off, prime your eyelids with a base. I used Mac Painterly Paint Pot.
Second Step: Take 2 pieces of scotch tape and put it on the back of your hand a couple of times so it wont stick so hard to your eyes, then take the pieces of tape and tape them on the corner of your eye going up to your eyebrow to make a cat eye shape. Make sure the tapes are at the same angles because one can come out different shape and the other. Just make sure the tapes are somewhat aligned to one another.
Third Step: Grab your Naked 2 Palette (if you don't have this palette, use any taupe brown you have) I used shade Tease in the Naked 2 Palette. Grab a fluffy blending brush and apply this to your crease and buff it out. I used Sigma E-40 (tapered blending brush)
Fourth Step: Take the shade Pistol in the Naked 2 Palette (or grab any dark silver shade) and apply this all over the lid with a shadow brush. I used sigma E-55 brush (eye shading brush) To achieve more intensity of this color I sprayed my brush with MAC Fix+ and applied the eye shadow. This will intensify the color.
Fifth Step: Take another smaller blending brush (I used MAC 217 brush) and take color Blackout from the palette (or any matte black eye shadow) and start blending the color from the outer corner blending it to the crease (start where the tape is, and start blending it in). Keep take more shadow and blending until there are no harsh lines and the black is very intensified.
Sixth Step: If you want a more intense smokey eye, take off the tapes, grab a black eyeliner, (I used Avon Blackest Night G04 Pencil Liner) or you can use MAC Smolder Eye Pencil and line the upper eyelid and trace the outer line where the tape was. Then grade a pencil brush or any small brush to blend that eye liner in. I also lined my waterline with my eyeliner.
Seventh Step: Take the color Verse form the Naked 2 Palette and take a Pencil brush or any small brush and pack the color in the inner corner of your eye. I also passed the shadow with my pencil brush on my bottom lash line.
Eighth Step: Grab the color Foxy from the palette and put this as your brow bone highlight. Right under the arch of your eyebrow.
You should have achieved a look similar to mine!
For lips you do either a Nude lip or even a very red matte color.
This should somewhat look like your final look. Comment on what you'd like to see next! I can use your ideas :)
