So today I am going to share my new favourite eyeshadow look with you. A smokey eye! It is a marginally less intense smokey eye but a smokey eye none the less! I'm going to get right into it before this becomes another rambly blogpost.
First, Apply a eye primer to keep your eyes looking fierce all day/night. I use the E.L.F Eyelid Primer (I have the shade champagne) All over my eyelid including the inner corner. This will ensure your eyeshadow looks amazing for as long as you wear it. It also helps the colours look bolder and prevents creasing.
Next, I apply The Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Eyeshadow In the colour "On and On bronze" I find this is the perfect base for a brown smoky eye. Apply this all over the lid using a finger, blend the edges with an eye brush to make them smooth. Avoid the inner corner.
Then, I pat a brown eyeshadow over the top. Putting the base on before hand gives the look a lot of dimension. I use the MUA Undressed palette I use the seventh shade, all over lid, focusing on the centre. Avoid the inner corner again.

Next I put a darker brown (The tenth shade in the MUA undressed palette) and apply to the outer third of the eyelid.
Next I take my Benefit Groovy Kind-a love! set, and taking the darkest brown (Kiss me I'm tipsy) I apply this to the outer v of my eye. Then lightly blend all the colours together, leaving definition but not harsh lines. And apply a light/white colour (Tickle my ivory)into the inner corner and onto the browbown.
Apply your favourite Mascara and or Eyeliner and you are good to go!

I love wearing this eyeshadow look because it is subtle yet gorgeous and fool proof. Have fun creating this look, and thank you so much for reading.
