Basic Brown Smokey

Jag är väldigt upptagen denna vecka med allt jobb som görs i vår lägenhet så sminkningen jag visar er idag har jag gjort för ett tag sedan. Brun sotade sminkningar är något jag verkligen tycker om. De får liksom en softare finish än när man använder sig av svart vilket gör att de blir lättare att använda till vardags.

I’m really busy this week with all the work we’re doing in our apartment so this make up I show you today I made a while ago. I really like brown smokey make ups. They get a bit of a softer finish than when you use black which makes it easier to use as an everyday make up.

Sono molto impegnata questa settimana con tutti i lavori che stiamo facendo in casa per cui il trucco che vi mostro oggi l’ho fatto tempo fa. Mi piacciono tantissimo i trucchi smokey dove si usa il marrone invece del nero. Da al trucco un effetto più delicato che lo rende più indossabile per tutti i giorno.

 

1. Prime the eyelids with Urban Decay’s eyeshadow primer potion anti-aging. Highlight under the eyebrows with STRANGE.
2. Blend in LIMIT above the crease.
3. In the crease blend in MAC eyeshadow HAUX and blend up and outwards.
4. Over the mobile eyelid apply MAC eyeshadow BROWN DOWN.
5. In the inner corner of the eye apply DUST.
6. Line upper and lower waterline with UD 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in WEST.
7. Under the lower lashline apply BROWN DOWN and blend out with LIMIT.
8. Apply Sigma Standout Eyes gel eyeliner in Wicked and make a wing.
9. Apply mascara and put on false eyelashes.
10. As a face contour use Bronzing Veil. On the cheeks aplpy Sephora’s blush Romantic Rose and highlight the cheekbones with Benefit’s Sun Beam.
11. On the lips apply Kryolan Lipstick LF430. Set the make up with Motives Cosmetics No More Shine Make Up setting spray.
