GET THIS LOOK! 

Hey there dolls,

This is my very first blog and i must say i am very much excited to be here.... Still very new in this but trying to get the hang of it :) My motive here is to pass on watever knowledge i have in the beauty world and also letting all u dolls out there know that u do NOT need to spend so much on beauty products to get THE LOOK... So for my very first blog i am gonna share with you on my fav look which is the SMOKEY EYE.... I have received comments and questions on how i do them  and as i mentioned in my profile i am no expert but i tend to play around to get the perfect look... This look is very simple but you may wanna have a few go's with it to get it really perfect....

LETS GET STARTED

Okay, first things first. I wash my face with  cleanser to ensure i'm applying my make up on a clean surface. Then i add on my moisturizer and allow it to dry before moving on. Remember that it is important that your cleansing products (especially your moisturizer) suite your specific skin type (oily/dry/combination) As for my skin i tend to use a creamy base moisturizer as winter tends to dry up my skin really quick... 


After my skin has absorbed the moisturizer i go ahead to apply my face primer to make my foundation last longer and also create a flawless finish...  Placing a small amount of foundation on my hand and dipping on to it using my foundation sponge. Starting off by applying at the centre of my face, cheeks, forehead, and chin.Blend out to your hair and jawline until the foundation vanishes. Pay special attention to blending around the nose and jawline. 


 


At times due to lack of sleep, i tend to get really bad dark circles but thank God for CONCEALORS!!!! Placing a lil bit straight under my eyes and top and blending it outwards to my foundation by just patting onto it.. I repeat "PATTING" and not RUBBING. Next i go ahead applying my loose powder by using a kabuki brush and..... thats done for our base.... 


Smokey eyes is very commonly used now and my biggest inspiration is non other than KIM KARDASHIAN!! 
To start off, i use my Australis eye primer to even out my eye shadow and make them pop out and also again for longer lasting.. Depending on my outfit colour if its a gold hint or silver, i apply them as my eye shadow base... As for this picture i applied a silver-ish or grey-ish colour by just dabbing on it. Next i take out a black eye shadow and using an angle brush, i start off at the corner of the eye and working my way up to the crease n blending it using a blending brush.... Not adding anymore black eye shadow, i just dab whatever left overs with the same brush... Then again i go on top with a lil bit of the same silver n using my blending brush to even it out....  
Next i move on with my eye liner which is something i can nvr leave home without... Drawing a fine line on the both top and bottom lids starting from the corner and working my way inside... making sure its even and once again blending out to prevent those harsh lines.... As for the bottom i added on the same silver eye shadow.... If ever you feel messiness under your eyes go ahead and pat a lil bit more concealor...
curl your lashes and put on your fav mascara... For a more dramatic look feel free to apply natural looking lashes... AND THATS DONE FOR YOUR EYES :D 
Next i go ahead with my blush and highlighting my under eye, forehead, nose and chin.



There is a rule for lips when you're doing a smokey eye look... That is keeping it nude and just a slight gloss...As for my look i added on a very light pinkish gloss for a lil bit of a sweet looking :P


And i guess thats it..... i think :[


So i hope u girls enjoyed reading it... Again it is really simple if you have a few practices... Do try out this look for your next big night out! and let me know your thoughts :D
Much luv!
