Winged out Smokey Eye

Hey Makeupl0verr's, if you like the smokey eye pictured below, keep reading for the products and steps to get it!! :)

  1. Prime your eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion. Under your brows prime with concealer, I used Mac Photo Finish Concealer in NC 20.
  2. Fill in your brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette, or the shade that applies to you.
  3. If you want the sharp edge like mine, then add shadow shields to make that much easier to get!
  4. Take a Tapered Blending Brush and apply Malt by Mac into your crease and blend it out towards your brows. 
  5. Use a Mac 217 Blending Brush and apply Sable by Smashbox (or any light brown shade will do) into your crease. Keep this color in the deepest part of your crease and blend out away from your eye to begin the smokey effect.
  6. Using NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean, apply a thin layer to your entire eyelids. Keep this layer thin!! Now take a small flat brush and smooth that out.
  7. With a clean Mac 217 Blending Brush, take Blackout by Smashbox and apply it only to the the outside corner of your eyes and blend it out as far as you'd like it to go. I blend it out almost meeting my brows just for a dramatic effect. 
  8. Using a pencil brush, I used Mac's 219, apply Azure by Smashbox to your lower lash line and blend it out. If you spray your brush lightly with Mac Fix+, you will get the Azure eyeshadow to look darker, which is what I did here. 
  9. Take a clean small flat brush, spray it with Mac Fix+, and apply Azure by Smashbox to your lids. 
  10. Take a clean blending brush with a small amount of Sable eyeshadow on it, and swipe it across your crease to make sure the shadows blend well together. 
  11. Take Smashbox Limitless Eyeliner in Onyx and apply it to the top and bottom waterlines.
  12. Apply Red Cherry Lashes in #20 with Duo Lash Glue.
  13. Remove your shadow shields and run your concealer under your eyes as well as along the edge of your eyeshadow for a super crisp look! 
Hope you guys liked this super dark smokey eye!!
