The Everyday Smokey Eye



I wore this look based on THIS Pixiwoo tutorial for work and to go out in the evening yesterday. I wear this quite a lot because it's a slightly different take on a smokey eye that super long lasting.

So I started off with my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - this is definitely in my top 5 favourite foundations because it leaves such a nice finish to the skin and is so radiant and healthy-looking.
I followed it by using my Revlon ColourStay Concealer under my eyes to get rid of my dark circles, and around my nose to get rid of any redness.

Moving away from the skin, I then went onto my brows. I used the Rimmel Professional Brow Pencil in Hazel, MAC Eyeshadow in Omega and Collection Clear Mascara. I have a more detailed post on my brow routine that you can view here.
Onto the eyes... I started with the Clinique Brush On Cream Liner in the shade Smoke Grey. Using a synthetic brush, I applied this all over the lid up to the crease, then blended it out using my MAC 217 blending brush. I took the same liner under my lower lash line too using my Real Techniques Pixel Point Liner Brush (blended this again with my 217). 
On my top lash line, I applied the Maybelline Chromatics Eyeliner in Turquoise Vibe, 
then blended this out. 
Using another eyeliner, I used the Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner in Black on my waterline, then finished the eyes off with my favourite mascara ever Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express.

Back to the skin, I powdered through the centre of the face using the Rimmel Match Perfection Loose Powder using my Real Techniques Blush Brush
I then used the same brush with my No7 Duo Bronzer to contour my face. I also took this bronzer through my socket to deepen it.
On a Real Techniques Stippling Brush, I used the Topshop Cream Blush in 
Head Over Heels.

Then finally for the lips I used the Topshop Lipstick in Innocent followed by Benefit Dandelion Lipgloss.
