I had to do my eye makeup first so it’s easier to manage any mistakes or fallouts, especially that I used dark shades on this one. 

EYES

I applied NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 601 Black Bean on my lids as my base. I used a black base to help build up that strong & dark colour eye colour. Next, I applied SUEDE (Huda Rose Gold Edition Palette) on the entire lid and a little over the crease. Using a small tapered brush, I picked up SHAX (Kat Von D Shade & Light Eye Palette) and applied it on the outer V up to the middle part of the eyes. Then, I dabbed my finger on 105DC ORION (Natasha Denona Star Palette) and applied in on the space of my lids. You can also spray some MAC Fix + on your brush or finger before you dab it on the duo-chrome eyeshadow for a more wowza! effect.

I don’t have any gel liner so instead, I used Stila’s All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Jet Black for my upper lash line.

I used NARS Larger Than Life Eyeliner in Via Venetto on my waterline and applied what’s left on the brush when I applied SHAX (Kat Von D Shade & Light Eye Palette) earlier. Using the same brush, I also applied 105DC ORION (Natasha Denona Star Palette) on the entire waterline to balance the look. For the inner corners, I used a small brush and dipped it on NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in DIONE. Finally, with MAC 217, I blended all the shades for a seamless look.

For my lashes, I used It Cosmetics’ Superhero Mascara.

Brows

I did thicker brows for this look and started by brushing the Benefit Gimme Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel on my brows. Then, I used Benefit’s Precisely, My Brow pencil to outline & shape them followed by Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Medium Brown to fill in the gaps. For final touches, I used Anastasia Brow Wiz (Medium Brown).

Since we are doing a dark eye makeup, it is important to keep the rest of the face clean. Apply your moisturiser and of course, I used my favourite SIMPLE’s Kind to Skin Light Moisturiser followed by Guerlain’s L’Or Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold.

What I love about smokey eye look is that I don’t have to worry about dark circles! For light colour correction, I used BECCA’s Under Eye Brightening Corrector and MUFE’s Cream Camouflage (Green) for the redness.

Face 

For this look, I mixed my Makeup Forever Ultra HD  Foundation (Y225) & Urban Decay One & Done (Medium Light). It’s my favourite foundation concoction because it offers more coverage without looking heavy.  As for my concealer, I used It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer and to set my face, I used Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder.
