Makeup Tutorial — How to Create the Un-Smoky Eye!

Hi, i’m Kristie. I am a wife, mother and beauty blogger. You can find me here at www.blushingbasics.com playing with makeup, providing tutorials and keeping you up to date with the latest tips, trends and techniques. My goal is to make makeup accessible and help you find your best self, with or without makeup.

A big thanks to TT&J for allowing me to guest post. Jen is an amazing blogger, business woman and creator of all things wonderful. What a great example to aspire to!

With Fall quickly approaching I put together this video tutorial showing you how to create the Un-Smoky Eye.

This look is seen on actresses, models and it girls everywhere. Get depth & drama without darkness and discover the perfect eye makeup for day, night and everything in between.

 

Products Used:

    1. Shu Uemura Quad – any silver and deep purple color will do.
    2. MAC Quad – look for a nude shimmer and a matte medium and dark brown.
    3. Brushes – fluffy eye brush, pencil brush, contour brush. (a sponge applicator works great in place of the pencil brush)
    4. Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler – curling lashes gives eyes a brighter, wider appearance.
    5. Rimmel Black Eyeliner – $1.99, the best makeup investment ever.

Good luck with making this look your own.

My best advice: ‘If it makes you feel beautiful, you’re doing it right.’

    Thanks so much Kristie!!
    I know we need to work what is best for us personally, but I like to be precise as well :)… I went looking at MAC for the Ego you mentioned and I cannot find it. Did you purchase long ago?

    great post for those of us who will not leave the house with out…makup…and I am one….this is a fun post….but one comment to those of us who are a little older…..Ok figure it out yourself…grad high school 72…..got it….we have creapy creepy….little lines…and anything with shimmer can be a problem…so matt is better for us….so if you find some of those great products in a cream with a little shine…you get a similar look with out the …..screaming glitter sitting in every crease,wrinkly creepy creapyyyy line around out eyes….a little white pencil so you can dot around the inner eye will open up your look…..
