FOTD & Tutorial: Soft & Simple Smoky Eyes

I had a reader who requested a soft smoky look/tutorial, I personally like it because it's not too dark and wearable anywhere. For a more dramatic/night time look, you can check out my "Black Ore" FOTD and tutorial by clicking here.

On lips: MAC "Fleshpot" lipstick with MAC "California Dreamin'" (LE)

Dupes:
MAC "Vex"= Flirt! Cosmetics "Lime Light"
MAC "Black Tied" = Milani "Storm"

I cropped at the brows since I was too lazy to do 'em. :)

After applying a base (such as UDPP, paint pots, etc)...












Apply eyeliner, mascara and line the lower lashline:

    I really like this tutorial! I always feel awkward when I try to do smokey eyes, but this one is very easy to understand.

    Thank you for sharing this!

    Very pretty! I'm always scared to try the smokey look, because it's so drastic.

    Ooh I love a smoky eye! This one is very pretty. And I love how it gives me another reason to use Vex again, I haven't used it in a while!
