How To - Casual Smokey Eye

A couple of weeks ago for the weekly make up tag I did a smokey eye look. The lovely Sophie from Sophie Rose Hearts asked if I could do a post on how I created the look. So here it is.
I used the Wet n Wild Silent Treatment Palette to create the look.

I applied the lightest colour all over the lid using the models own eye shadow brush.


I then used the Sigma E45 brush to apply the purple/taupe colour to my crease.



Using a Mac 230 (I think, the number has rubbed off) to apply the darkest colour the outer part of my eye. I then used a Sigma E25 to blend that out.


I took the Mac brush again and run a little bit of the darker colour under my water line to give it some definition. I then added lashings of mascara and finished the rest of my look off.


I hope this was easy to follow and let me know what you think of this type of posts. I want to try and do it in video version but I don't have a camera that works properly so we will have to see.
