tutorial: neutral smokey eyes

hi everyone! this is a step by step tutorial on how i do my neutral smokey look. i hope you guys like it! =)




apply a shimmery white beigy color on your lid. i used MAC e/s in SHROOM ( btw, i already primed my eyes with UDPP)


really pack on the color i'm using MAC #239 brush


take a fluff brush and apply a dark brown shadow on your outer lid. i used MAC e/s in ESPRESSO


blend it over the lid too i'm using MAC # 213


it should look like this


use a blending brush to blend out the harsh lines. i'm using MAC #224 brush


blend blend blend!


looking more blended!


please excuse my tired looking eyes! i was tired but i needed to make this tut. haha


apply a matte beigy color underneath your browbone. i used MAC e/s in VANILLA with my coastal scents fluff brush


look at that sparse brows!! scurry!


i'm using CANMAKE brow powder with my SMASHBOX angle brush


there you go! looks better doncha think??


using a flat liner ( mines from costco kirkland ) grab some ESPRESSO e/s and apply on the lower lashline. avoid the inner corners of the eye


using a pencil brush apply a pearly white shadow i used MAC PIGMENT in VANILLA & MAC #219 brush


apply you favorite liquid liner/gel liner/pencil liner. i used PRESTIGE liquid liner. GOOD STUFF YO


of course, no look would be complete without curled lashes! i used SHU UEMURA eyelash culer. THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!


mascara is of course a MUST. any brand/formulation would do..i used MAYBELLINE VOLUME XPRESS in BLACKEST BLACK


i didn't take my time so it's kinda clumpy..but i know you guys will forgive me :D


ta-dah!


my neutral smokey look ..sorry for the uneven liner!!
