Caramel Smokey Eye!

I've spoken to a lot of women before, whilst doing their makeup etc. And most of them admit, that doing a smokey eye is hard because of the dark colours you use. Black is one of the colours that if you add to much to your eye, you look like someone punched you there lol. Remember, smokey eyes don't have to be pitch black.

If you start with a soft brown, soft purple etc it will be easier and you don't have to worry about the black going EVERYWHERE.

What you need:

• Your makeup brushes and tools
• Bronzer
• A soft shimmery honey caramel brown eyeshadow, I will post pictures. You need a shimmery nude eyeshadow and a dark brown shimmery eyeshadow. 
• Face primer and eye primer
• Your foundation and powder
• Brow pencil or brow shadows
• Mascara
• Your lip liner and lipstick
• Black gel eyeliner
• Concealer

1. Cleanse and moisturise your face, so their is no dirt and grease. Having a dirty face, with affect the longevity of the makeup.

2. Apply your eye primer with a small concealer brush OR your finger, and apply all the over your lid, and I apply sometimes up too the eyebrow. Using a small fluffy brush, apply the caramel brown shade to your eyelid, and just over your crease. Using the dark brown shade, and the same brush, create a "C" shape in your outer corner then softly blend that.

3. Using a soft slanted fine brush, apply your eyeliner from your inner corner to your out corner, no cat eye effect. I also apply the same eyeliner to my top inner rim, just under your lashes, makes it look even, and no skin shows.

4. Next apply 1 to 2 coats of mascara to both your top and bottom lashes, especially with the look with a look like this, you want your bottom eyelashes to show! If you would like to apply eyelashes, I will be making a post on how to apply eyelashes.

5. Next apply your face primer with either your hands or foundation brush. I wait about 2-3 minutes for it too set and then I apply my foundation in a downwards motion with my foundation brush, I wait for the first layer to set, you can often use your brush to dab or use a sponge just to make sure their are NO lines. Also don't forget your concealer, to areas most needed on your face. Apply another layer, and then I use a white translucent powder to set my foundation.

6. Next using your bronzer or blush, and your blush brush or slanted blush brush, apply from the middle of your ear to where your ear begins, apply this in a motion of your natural cheekbones. I will be doing a post on blush and contouring and highlighting your face.

7. Next using a lip liner, line and fill in your lips this will keep the lipstick from smudging, I always make sure my lips are clean to begin with, you don't want foundation on them as that will make it cakey and uneven. Next using a lip brush, fill in your entire lips with your lipstick, apply 2 - 3 coats.

8. Don't forget your eyebrows of course, I normally use a brow pencil to shape my eyebrows and fill them in, I always find that using a eyeshadow is a lot better in filling them in, pencils are good for shaping but not for filling.
