Reverse Smokey Eye Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm here today with a reverse smokey eye tutorial! It's pretty long, so let's get started!

First prime your eye with eyelid primer and then add a cream colored cream eyeshadow.



Then add an off white eyeshadow to the entire lid.


Then blend a medium brown in the crease. Try to make a soft cut crease.


Then I blended a dark brown in the outer v. And blended more. Then I added a shimmery white to the brown bone


Onto the 'reverse smokey' part! First I added a matte black to the entire lower lash line and connected it to the brown on the upper lash line.


Next I blended a red below the black. Then below that I blended an orange, and below that a yellow.



Finally I added thick black liner to my top lash line and white line to my waterline.



This step is totally optional but I added some nice full lashes!


Thanks for reading!

P.s. If you guys would like a false eyelash tutorial, let me know in the comments!

Soft Smokey Eye Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm here with a simple soft smokey eye tutorial. I used browns and taupe colors. It's incredibly easy, and my go to smokey eye. Products used will be listen at the end. Let's get started!

First start with a clean eyelid and prime with a cream taupe eyeshadow. This will act as our base and make the color stay put. Don't go above the crease with this color.



Then add a matte taupe eyeshadow on top to make it stay.


Then blend a light brown in the crease. It will transition the colors, and help with blending!


Then I added a dark brown to the outer V and blended in the crease. The key here is lots of blending :) And I would try to use all matte shadows so far.



Next I added a light sparkly silver color over the taupe, because who doesn't like to be sparkly?


Finally I added a white shimmery shadow in the inner corners and on the brow bone, then I added black liner to my water line and mascara. And you're done!

2 Looks, 1 Palette - BH Cosmetics 88 Matte

Hey guys! I'm here with another 2 looks, 1 palette post and today I'm using the BH Cosmetics 88 Matte Palette. And let me just say, this palette is amazing. I've had it for 2 years and it has amazing quality and variety of colors. So with that said, let's get started!

The first look is going to be green! I love using green eyeshadows, even though I have green eyes. The first thing you want to do and prime your eye with an eyeprimer.

Then sweep a light green all over the lid. The colors I used will be posted after each look.


Then blend a darker green in the crease. And add a lighter green than used on the lid and add it in the inner corner.



And finally add liner and mascara.


And here are the colors that were used.


2nd Look! This one is going to be a smokey eye. Usually when I do a smokey eye, I grab for my Naked palette, but this one was fun to try! First prime yo' eyes girl. You know the drill.


Then pat a silver color to your lid, not going above the crease.


Now this is where it gets tricky. Put black shadow in your crease and BLEND. Blending is key to a smokey eye.



Then you need to put a medium brown color above your crease and blend, blend, blend. This step is the most important in my opinion. It makes the colors blend easier and just look better.


Then I smudged a black pencil liner in the outer corner on the upper lash line and then put it in my waterline and then I added mascara. I also added a white shadow in the inner corner and brow bone for a highlight. Now you're done!
