Valentine's Day Inspired Smokey Eye

Hey Makeupl0verr's, below is a step by step list on how to get this smokey eye! 

  1. Prime eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion. (only on the lids) Then conceal under your brows with Mac Studio Finish Concealer in NC 20.
  2. Using Anastasia's Dip Brow in Ebony, with a small angle brush, outline the bottom of your brows as well as the outer top half. Fill in with Anastasia's Brow Wiz in Brunette.
  3. Apply your Shadow Shields wherever you'd like your eyeshadow to end :)
  4. Using a tapered blending brush apply Malt by Mac on your crease. Make sure to apply the color from the most inner part of your eyes and take it past the shadow shields, this will help the gradient effect all through out your e/s :)
  5. Using a Mac 217 Blending Brush, apply Sable by Smashbox in your crease (keep this color on the lower part of your crease only to create depth)
  6. Take Black Ice Pro Longwear Eye Liner by Mac and draw a small "V" on the outer corner of your eye. Make sure to color in the "V".
  7. Using a clean Mac 217 Blending Brush, apply Blackout by Smashbox only to the outer part of your eye. Blend out as far as you'd like it to go and blend up into the crease. Using Mac's Pencil Brush #219 drag the Blackout e/s down under your lower lashes, keeping it in the outer half only.
  8. Using the first 217 Blending Brush, apply Sumatra by Smasbox right next to the Blackout. Keep Sumatra as close to the Blackout as possible, this color is just used to create a nice gradient look into the sparkly pigment :) 
  9. Using a flat brush, spray it with Mac Fix Plus, and apply Inglot Loose Pigment #22 to the inner part of the lid as well as under the inner part of your lower lashes. 
  10. Using an eyeliner brush, mine is from Bare Minerals, apply Inglot gel liner #77 in your water line and a very thin line on your eyelid.
  11. I used Red Cherry Lashes #117 on top of #505 for this look. Glue your lashes on with Duo Lash Glue. 
  12. Remove your Shadow Shields and run your concealer or foundation under your eyes and up along the eye shadow, just to give it a crisp clean look!
These pics were shot in daylight so the colors are true to what it will look like in person! Below I have added the link to the Inglot pigment! Hope you guys found this helpful!! :)
