Boring Run Of The Mill Smoky Eye


I never seem to do a straight up black/ gray smoky eye. I never seem to use the Creep and Gunmetal shades in my Naked palette either. So I killed two birds with one stone and used them to play about with a more traditional smoky eye. I found it incredibly dull so added some teal on the lower lashline although you can’t see it particularly well here...





On the eyes:
Chanel Mirifique as a base.
Creep on the lower half of the lid.
Gunmetal in the upper half of the lid.
Naked to blend out.
Virgin as highlight.
Urban Decay Zero pencil to line waterline.
Urband Decay Flipside under lower lashline.

On the face:
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess as contour.
Illamasqua Hussy on the  cheeks.
ELF Studio Shimmer palette (the peach shade) as highlight.
I just used the 17 Mirror Shine On lipstick in Bee Hive on the lips.

  1. I like the last picture especially. Very nice look! I hardly ever do a black/grey smoky eye either or use Creep and Gunmetal, so maybe this is somthing I should do sometime too. :) x

    1. Most of the shades in that palette have a dent in them but I never use those two for some reason. Don't know why really! x
