The smoky eye look! ;)

Hello Readers!!!


This time I am going to show you how to get the basic smoky eye look!! Its easy and quick. 


All you need is:


Black eye shadow.
                                   I have used here VOV glitter black eye shadow.


Contour eye shadow brush.
This eye shadow brush is perfect to line borders and small complicated designs. Its edge is slightly diagonal.


Mascara.
Kaajal.
Smudger.
                                    Its the avon Kaajal with smudger at the other end.


Use the following steps to get the look!!


Step 1
Firstly, apply foundation evenly on face. On the base of foundation use blush on your cheeks- pink, orange, brown or maroon as you wish! The strokes should be upwards towards the cheekbones.


Step 2
Use a contour brush with eye shadow to mark the border of your look. 
Your border should be on your crease line as shown in the picture above. Do not extend your eye shadow beyond your eyebrow and eyelash meeting point. 
Tip: Before applying eye shadow lather your under eye with loose face powder. After using the eye shadow brush off the powder as the eye shadow falls on your face while applying and may ruin the make-up. 


Step 3
Fill up the inside and make it dark or light according to your choice. Specifically use darker black if its a night occasion and vice verse. 


Step 4
Now apply kaajal inside the lower eyelid. 
Use the contour brush and apply eye shadow underneath the lower lashes upto the end. 
Join the eye shadow at the inner side but don't bring it too ahead. 
Now use the smudger and give outward diagonal strokes at the end of the lower lashes starting from the inside to outside. 
Smudge the same way at the edge of the eye shadow from underneath.


Step 5
Apply mascara on the upper as well as lower lashes. And Voila!! Your eyes are set to capture everyone's attention. ;)


Step 6
Use vamp red/plum for lips or just go bare nude. You are ready to rock the world!! ;) :* 


P.S. Beauty is within YOU! :)
