Grey sparkly eyes with Bold Lips

I am going to attempt to do my first makeup tutorial in a blog. I really wanted to do this for a long time. I have made the video of the same tutorial on my Yoututbe channel. Click on the link below to go to my channel.

Let's start with the picture tutorial.

The look that I am going to explain is a grey sparkly eyes with bold lips. This look will be perfect for a night time party. The look turned out quite nice and I have to admit I was very proud of the end result.

1. Step one is very crucial when we are dealing with dark eyeshadows. This step is applying a primer all over my eye lids till the brow bone. The primer I like to use for eyes in Loreal Base Magique Primer. This is a silicone base primer and helps the shadows last for a long time.


2. Then I am going to add a concealer over the primer as a base. I like concealer for base because it creates a blank canvas for applying the eyeshadows and covers any discolouration or veins. The concealer should be the same colour as what you are going to be using for covering your under eye dark circles. I am going to use the MAC conceal and correct palette in medium dark and my concealer number is NC42. I am going to apply this with a small angled brush but you can use your fingers too if you want.


3. Then to avoid the concealer from creasing I will apply a mattifying powder all over the concealer. I am doing this because I not only want to avoid creasing of my concealer but also as I have a oily skin the powder will mattify the skin and my eyeshadow would last longer. I am using Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder and I will apply this with PAC brush 022.


4. Next I will take the Faces Ultime Pro Eyeshadow crayon in the colour Dancing Queen and will apply this all over the lid area. There is no particular technique required here but just adding the crayon on your lid and not going beyond the lid area. 


5. Then I am going to smooth out the harsh edges left by the eyeshadow crayon with the help of a crease brush from MAC 217 and eyeshadow from Makeupgeek Frappe. This step is very crucial and you have to keep building up the colour till you feel the crayon is well blended. Start with a little bit of product and then keep building on it till you get the required result. 


6. Then I am going to intensify the outer corner with the help of a black eyeshadow. I will be using small smudger brush from Real Technique and PAC eyeshadow number 14. Then blend the black with the same crease brush with other eyeshadow. 



7. To finish the upper lid by apply a liner. I am using a gel eyeliner and making a dramatic wing too. I am applying the gel eyeliner with a Real Technique Liner brush. The gel liner is Maybelline Gel Liner. Also adding MAC Opulash mascara to my upper lashes. 

8. For Lower lash line I applied the same faces eyeshadow crayon and then coated the lower lashes with the same mascara.

9. Highlight the inner corner and the brow bone with a PAC eyeshadow number 15.

This completes the eye look. I have paired it with my favourite dark lipstick from MAC in the shade Diva. I hope you enjoyed this picture tutorial. Please comment and share if you liked it.
