I don’t go to the pub that often but I spent a lovely chilled out afternoon with some friends in my local today. Here’s the smoky eye look I wore for the occassion:
This has been my favourite look for the past week because it looks carefully crafted but is actually super-quick to create. I love the way the colour looks so multi-dimensional and last all day too. The trick is in the layering.
I rubbed a tiny amount of cream eyeshadow above my crease and a glitter eye pencil by Topshop over my lid up to the crease as a base, then used a rounded blending brush to work a metallic purple (the mono-shadow in the picture above) into the glitter pencil, which created a fantastic multi-dimensional, intense colour over my lids. I used the colour left on the brush to rub a tiny bit of colour along my lower lash line to create the familiar smoky eye shape. I then picked up a very light green shadow (the top shadow in the quad in the pic above) on another, clean blending brush and worked it into my crease to create a blended wash of colour just above my crease. I like the way it makes a change from the usual darker colour that is used to create depth in the crease in a smoky eye look. I then finished off with black mascara and shiny pink blush.
So far today I’ve been wearing this make-up for around 10h and while it’s started to crease the colour is still going strong on my lids. I sense this is going to become one of my signature looks this summer!
