FOTN: soft smokey eyes

Hi Bellas,

Two weekends ago I went to dinner with my boyfriend and a bunch of his friends who had flown into town for the weekend. I wanted to look hot of course...gotta make sure I represent for my man! I decided to wear makeup that was guy friendly...meaning no bright colors or anything too abstract. In the end, I decided on a soft smokey eye and a nude lip...guys can usually appreciate that kind of thing, lol. I used smoke and diamonds...a shimmery silvery blue color along with carbon. I love the way brown e/s looks when you use it to blend out the typical black smokey eye...it adds a bit of softness. In this case, I used glamour check e/s.

I took the pictures nearly 6 hours later. It held up pretty well. I didn't even need to touch up except for my lips.

Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise stated):

FACE
-Laura Mercier Primer
-strobe cream
-MUFE HD foundation #128 mixed with Smashbox Tinted Moisturizer
-true romantic beauty powder blush
-petticoat msf
-elf bronzer

EYES
-Anastasis brow pencil and cork e/s for eyebrows
-soft ochre paint pot (base)
-smoke and diamonds e/s (lid)
-glamour check e/s (crease)
-carbon e/s (outer V)
-shroom e/s (highlight)
-Revlon colorstay liquid liner in blackest black
-feline kohl power pencil
-Smashbox ionic mascara
-no 8 lashes

LIPS
-cork lip pencil
-baby sparks dazzleglass


Oh lawd excuse my straggly hair...it was about 2am when I took these pics, lol.





I actually filmed a tutorial on this look about a week or so later, so I should have that up in the next week or so. Till then, Ciao bellas!
