Holiday Smokey Eyes

Hi Bellas,


With the Holidays surrounding us, I've been getting quite a few requests to do a Holiday look. I've seen a lot of golds, greens, and reds out there, but I wanted to do something a little different.


I stuck with the red and green theme, but I decided to do a more mature take and used a deep forest green and reddish burgundy instead. I paired them to create a grown up smokey eye. I was actually inspired by some of the makeup I saw on the Atlanta Housewives reunion!


Check out my tutorial! Don't forget to subscribe!



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

EYES
-H.I.P crayon in Unmistakeable

  15. mayaari: thanks, i like the deeper colors too

    c: don't forget to email me to get your prize, i haven't gotten that yet! for a less dramatic look, maybe bring the burgundy color only into the outer v instead of the crease
