How is everyone’s Monday going??? I apologize for M.I.A last week. If you follow me on twitter/instagram, you’d know that I burnt my fingers (because of steam) on Tuesday. My ring and pinky fingers were burnt due to the steam from boiling water. Anyways, long story short, my ring finger didn’t get burnt as bad as my pinky. There were bubbles forming on my pinky finger! It hurt a lot, and well it’s red and purple now. Due to the burnt, I couldn’t really hold my makeup brushes properly since it hurt a lot. I have a very low tolerance of pain (exception for piercings..hahaha). Heck, I couldn’t even hold my chopsticks properly.
However, since the ring finger gotten better, I managed to do one tutorial. I wanted to play with the Gunmetal eyeshadow from Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette, so I created this smoky eyes look. Very simple and very easy. This will look great for party makeup, prom or wedding.
Also, ignore my brows, haven’t had time to get them trimmed or shaped because of the recent incident.
How-to:
1. I applied Chanel Illusion D’ombre in Emmervielle all over the lid using my finger.
2. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied UD Gunmetal eyeshadow on the outer third of the lid.
3. I blended the edge of the shadow using a clean fluffy brush.
4. Using a bullet brush by Smashbox, I applied UD Creep eyeshadow from Naked palette on the outer V.
5. Using a small shader brush, I applied UD Gunmetal eyeshadow on the lower lid.
6. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied L’oreal Infallible Hourglass Beige eyeshadow in on the inner half of the upper lid, and slightly on the inner corner of the lower lid.
7. I lined my upper lashline and waterline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.
8. I filled my brows using Shu Uemura brow pencil.
9. I curled my lashes using MUFE Smoky Lashes mascara.
10. For the face, I used Giorgio Armani Silk foundation and a foundation brush.
11. Under the eyes, I applied MAC Pro Correct/Conceal yellow corrector.
12. I applied MAC Shadowy as contour and MAC Fleur Power on the cheeks.
13. For the lips, I applied Clinique Chubbystick in Heaping Hazelnut.
