Hey everyone! Day 5 of Holiday Inspiration Has Arrived! Look at it up there, gleaming in the glow of Holiday cheer…..Ok, it was just gleaming in the lighting of my bedroom but you get the point!
For this look I did a really REALLY simple smokey eye with matte brown colors, and then put a touch of glitter in the center of the lid, and an even teenier touch on the bottom, inner corner.
The glitter took it from “Eh let me throw on a brown smokey eye…life sucks, why bother?” to “WOOOOOO! Christmas party bitches!!!! Check out my glitter AWWWW YEAAAAH!!” in less than 30 seconds. Oh the power of makeup <3
Ok So step 1- Use a matte brown shadow from your lash line to right above your crease and bring it under your lower lash line as well.
Step 2- Use a matte nude to blend it out around all the edges. Bring it down as low as you like underneath, and right below your brow bone on top.
Step 3- Use a small angled brush OR a push liner brush to place a matte charcoal grey shadow around your top and bottom lash line.
Step 4- dab silver glitter in the center of your mobile lid and the bottom part of your inner corner ( and I recommend using a glitter base/ clear glitter liner as a base, so it doesn’t come fluttering off into your eggnog by 9 pm)
Step 5- Line the waterline with dark brown, throw some mascara on and go!
In dim lighting (Like in the first photo) this looks so sultry and amazing. Ugh it’s so beautiful…
The important thing here is to make sure that you are using matte eyeshadows. If you go and do a shimmering smokey eye with the glitter, it just wont have the same effect.
The strategic placement of shine here is really what makes the whole look. Trust.
Oh and by the way…NO look is finished without a great eyebrow framing it. So I think you need to watch my video on how to fake those trendy, full brows while keeping them looking natural…go ahead…it’s right down there… click it, I know you want to.
