Hey everyone I recently posted pictures up on my Facebook page of a sexy smokey eye, inspired by Kim Kardashians, whose makeup style I totally love !! I hope you all like it, here's how I created it .....





Step 1: Use some sellotape as a guide this makes the whole process so much cleaner looking and quicker to apply. Using a black base, I used my Maybelline Intense Drama gel liner, you don't have to be neat. 


Step 2: Blend out the black base upto the crease with a soft blending brush.




Step 3: Go over the black base with a black eyeshadow and blend it out upto the crease. I used Blackout from the Naked 2 Palette.


Step 4: Highlight the browbone, I used Bootycall (Light Gold Shimmer) from the Naked 2 Palette.



Step 5 :  Use a brown/burgandy shimmer colour in the crease and blend into the black and browbone, this will really warm the look up. I used the colour Busted from the Naked 2 Palette. Highlight the tear duct area with the same colour you used for your browbone.




Step 6 : This part is optional but I added a black pigment powder with abit of sparkle in it over the black just to deepen it more. I used the Illamasqua Pure Pigment Powder in Zeitgiest. If you don't want to use a pigment powder you can always go over it with the black if you feel its not dark enough but make sure you stay close to the lashline.



Step 7 : Line the top and bottom lashline with a black gel liner and remove the tape .


Step 8 : Add lashes and line inside your waterlines and your done xxx
