Natural brown smokey eyes

Today I'll show you my grab-n-go look, if I don't have much time to play but need to look groomed, somehow lol.

I call it the Natural brown smokey eyes, it's really easy and quick (15min., 10 if you don't need to curl your lashes). You will need the following items (description below pic):

From left top row to left bottom row clockwise:

- MAC Mixing Medium Waterbased

- MAC Carbon Eyeshadow

- Giorgio Armani Eyeshadow #11

- Clean Mascara Wand

- Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

- Yves Rocher Waterproof Mascara

- Urban Decay Primer Potion

- Shiseido Maquillage Concealer

- Chanel Crayon Kohl in Marine

- MAC Eye brush #219

- Foam applicator

- MAC Eye brush #266

Now start with no makeup... I reuse the first few pics because the steps are always the same...

1. naked eye lol

Put on foundation all over your face

Dab concealer below your eyes

Blend it, then it shouldn't be detectable:

Now get your Primer Potion and dab a tiny amount on your upper eyelid and blend. Do the same with an even tinier amount on the lower lid.

It shouldn't be visible like on the following pic:

Here the new pictures start lol: take the Chanel Crayon and line your lower waterline and 1mm beyond it.

Blink after one layer, then reapply and blink again to get an intense and even application.

Now dip the foam applicator into the brown e/s (the Armani in this case, MAC Satin Taupe is a close dupe). Apply on your upper lid.

Don't worry if you see the lines.

Wipe with a clean fingertip to blend the shadow into your foundation/skin.

Now open your Carbon e/s, drop a tiny amount of Mixing Medium onto it and stir with the 266 brush to get a creamy color (I always use one side of the shadow only, because making it wet will harden the surface). Start to line on the inner corner as close to your lashes as possible.

The lining serves to even out my eye shape and to make lashes seem longer:

Here comes the Curler:

Put the curler as near to the lash roots as possible. Be cautious not to pinch your eyelid. The pain will cause your eye to water and ruin the makeup unless you know how to suck it up with a tissue.

Pinch from root to tip. Do it several times if needed to achieve your desired curl. Then apply mascara in a wiggling motion from root to tip to evenly coat each lash.

The Kohl on the lower waterline is always smeared afterwards, so I use a clean fingertip to blend the color into my skin.

It will look like this:

Now take the foam applicator again and some brown e/s. Line your lower lid carefully.

Unblended it will look like the following:

Now get the #219 brush and some black e/s to line between waterline and brown e/s.

It softens the harsh line. Again blend with a clean fingertip to make any lines between brown e/s and skin disappear. Now we're ready to to!

Looks a lot fresher than the naked eye, what? Next time I'm gonna do a much more complicated hot goth eye look. A request from a friend ;D
