The one makeup look that everyone always wants to know how to do is the smoky eye.  It’s dramatic, sexy and versatile.  I have created a very basic, beginner’s smoky eye using only 3 colour products.  This is a quick, out-the-door look that can be used as a base and built up as needed.

Here’s the look!

A bronzey smoky eye!

The key to the smoky is blending…blend, blend and blend some more.  You want a smooth transition from one colour to another without any harsh lines.

I used minimal products – Make Up For Ever Aqua Shadow Waterproof Eye Shadow Pencil in 22E, M.A.C. Feline Eye Pencil and L’Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes mascara.  That’s basically it!!

The products!

School’s over, and summer hours at work have begun.  You get the itch to take ah l’il vacation.  Here are a few items that I packed in my summer vacation beauty kit!

  • Unii palette with refills –  I got this super cute, hard case palette at the makeup show (gifted) and I really like it to place some of my favourite colours to give me a quick daytime or nighttime dinner look.  This palette can hold lots of refill pans including Make Up For Ever, M.A.C. and Inglot.  Just toss in in your bag and you don’t have to worry about your eyeshadows breaking or having to cart a whole bunch of them!
