Hi everyone :) Today i decided to do something a bit different using grey tones and a tiny bit of purple.This is super versatile as i think it can be worn for day or night time,and that tiny pop of purple makes it that little bit different from just a regular smokey eye.I hope you enjoy this and give it a go!
Products used: BFTE eyeshadow in "Suede",NYX eyeshadow in "in the woods" and "Root Bear", Urban Decay eyeshadow in "Cult",MAC eyeshadow in "Carbon,Urban Decay eye pencil in "Corrupt"
-First i applied eye primer over my eye lids,then using the "Corrupt" pencil (a dark grey-ish purple) i traced along the crease of my eye and made a slight wing shape in the corner.I also used the pencil on the outer half of my lower lashline.
-Next i used the colour "Root Beer" on a pencil brush and went over the area that i used the pencil on.This gives it a softer,smokey-er look.
-Then i used the colour "In the woods" on a flat eye shadow brush and patted the colour down in the center of the eye lid.
-After that i used the colour "Carbon" on a pencil brush and just applied it on the very outer corner of my eye,just to deepen the look.
-Next i used the colour "Suede" around the inner corner of my eye,then on a blending brush i used the "Cult" to blend out the colour above the crease of my eye.I used a smokey purple here because it made the look a little bit different but still wearable but i also found it softened the smokey eye alot too.
-Lastly i used liquid liner on my top lashline and i also lined my water line with black eye liner.I finished off with mascara and false lashes

I used to wear grey & black all the time, I should try it again. I love this look & your liner looks amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much I must admit I don't wear a lot of grey but I found this very wearable :)
DeleteLove it!! The contrast is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteSo pretty, I love the placement of the colours!! I love grays with purples :) (I did one a little bit ago with MUG shadows if you haven't seen that :-))
ReplyDeleteThanks ashli,I will check that out for sure! I'm a sucker for purple anywhere I can fit it in I will!
DeleteI love this look! Is it normal to put the darkest colour on first? I usually leave my crease and all the darkies/blacks until last.... Will have to try this method!

Hi kimmy,it's totally up to you how you use you're darkest colour for me it normally depends on the look that I am doing,but in this instance I really wanted to cut and define my crease and I find I get more depth and intensity when I start off using a dark liner but whatever works best for you :)
DeleteHey :) Great post! Looks good!
