I love love emphasizing my eyes when I go out at night, but I find If I use too much black I end up looking like a panda. This is a technique I saw on a Taiwanese variety show on youtube used on Vivian Hsu a local celebrity, and I wanted to try it out. Of course I look nothing like her..but it's a natural! yet smokey eye. Hope you like
The dreaded no Makeup look YUCK!!!
Then I use Satinfinish Foundation by Mac in NC20
It's so shimmery and natural! I love it...but it doesn't cover my freckles...
Fill in my brows with Shiseido Majolica Majorca brow pencil powder
Draw a thick slightly upturned black line... I used Mac's Ebony Kohl pencil
Should look like this...sorry I look so spaced out! and bug eyed..
This next step is crucial.. You gotta pat in slowly a shimmery grey black shadow with your finger. If you use a brush, it won't look as a transparent wash, as I want it to look. But if you aren't comfortable using your fingers, use a big fluffy shadow brush for a wash of colour.
Like that...
Sorry it looks a bit messy and unbalanced hahaha
This next step I use Nar's Night Breed. Sparkly black shadow. It's important to use a pencil brush, or liner brush to pack in some pigment.
I put some lavender loose powder to catch any fallout. For any of you freckly girls like me, purple pink loose powder helps with pigmentation, and brightens the skin too.
Should look like this...
Rub a bit of gold cream shadow to highlight brow, and corner of the eyes..
Curl your lashes!
These are the colours I used today...for this light smokey eye.
Fake lashes a must!
Mascara top and bottom
Put on some creamy peach blush. I use Kevyn Aucoin's tansoliel .It's my abs. FAVOURITE.
Contour the face with *this might sound weird* but with a face powder for dark skin tones. I use L'oreal's true match powder in W8, my usual colour is like a W2... as long as it's in the same skin tone...use a darker face powder to create some shadows to slim the face down! * Im sure more u girls don't have the cursed round face like me!
Lips! I use Mac in Fulfilled
Ta-Da! Should end up like this! ... Thanks for watching!
