- Start out with Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation , Heavy Duty Concealer , and a light Dusting of Triple Milled Loose Powder all applied. Sweep an extra layer of loose powder under your eyes to catch any fall out.
- Apply the lightest Eye Shadow colour e.g. Sugar Daddy (A) from your lashline to your brow bone. Apply with the Shadow Brush.
- Brush the medium Eye Shadow colour e.g.New Cool (B) onto your crease with the Crease Brush and blend up so it is visible when you open your eyes. Make sure there are no harsh lines. For those with no crease or a small one, apply the Eye Shadow below the browbone, starting at the outer corner and working your way up. Blend downward onto the eyelid using the Shadow Brush .
- Draw a line on your upper lashline with Di Line Gel Liner in Wicked, using the Liner Brush .
- Apply the darkest colour e.g. Secret (C) on top of the liner with the Crease Brush . Blend upward to the medium Eye Shadow colour using the S hadow Brush .
- Line your top and lower inner rims with Powderliner in Coal. Extend the liner just a little past the outer corner of your eyes.
- Go over your lower lashline with the darkest Eye Shadow colour (C). Smudge with the back of the Powderliner Pencil.
- Brush the highlighting Eye Shadow colour (A) on your browbone and inner corner of your eyes.
- Apply two to three coats of Waterproof Mascara .
- Sweep off the excess loose powder and clean up any smudges with a cotton tip.
Smoky Eye Rules
- With eye make up this intense, it's best to keep the rest of your face simple. Stick with nude lips and soft cheeks.
- The smoky eye look can be done using any Eye Shadow shades. Rich plum, blue, green, grey, browns are all very effective.
- Blending is the key so make sure you blend, blend and blend.
- Start with the lightest Eye Shadow colour and apply a little at a time. Build up the colour gradually.
