2.) Next go in over Wedge with Handwritten using the same blending brush
3.) Using a flat eye shadow brush apply Woodwinked all over the eyelid and some on the lower lash line

Kim Kardashian Inspired Eye

 

I, like most people, do not particularly care for Kim Kardashian, but you cannot deny that she does have really good eye make up. This look does take a little bit of time because it involves a lot of layering, blending, and applying false eye lashes.

 

 

1.) Prime the eye

2.) Apply M.A.C.'s Blanc Type on the brow bone with a flat eye shadow brush

3.) Apply M.A.C.'s Carbon on the eyelid with a flat eye shadow brush, to get it the dark color I had to put on at least five layers

4.) Apply M.A.C's Handwritten with a fluffy eye shadow brush into the crease and take it into the inner part of the eye, I had to apply a few layers of this as well to get the darker color that I was looking for 

5.) Blend Handwritten and Blanc Type together with a Blending brush

6.) With a smudging brush, apply Handwritten to the bottom lash line and smudge it out

7.) Apply eyeliner

8.) ***Optional***Apply false eyelashes, I normally don't like false eyelashes because they tend to make me look like a drag queen, however, because this look was inspired by Kim Kardashian I decided to apply them.  False eyelashes are Kim's signature look, for her, the bigger the eyelashes, the better.

 

 

Copper Smokey Eye

***Optional step***Before starting, I primed my entire eyelid with a white eyeliner to make the colors really pop, however, you don't have to do this if you want the colors to be a little more subtle 

1.) Apply MAC's Blanc Type on the brow bone with a flat eye brush, then with the same brush apply MAC's Crystal Avalanche in the inner corner of the eye and the lower lash line with a flat eye shadow brush.

2.) Apply MAC's Mythology mid eyelid and lower lash line, blend into Crystal Avalanche with a flat eye shadow brush.   

3.) With the same flat eye shadow brush, apply MAC's Handwritten in the outer corner of the eyelid and the lower lash line. With a blending brush, blend out Handwritten with MAC's Wedge.

5.) With the blending brush, lightly blend in MAC's Carbon but only blend into the outer corner of the eye.

6.) Apply eyeliner and mascara.

Everyday eye makeup using MAC (updated)

This is my new everyday eye makeup, I just needed a slight change so I bought new shadows. It's still super easy and not time consuming at all. All it takes is 3 easy steps.

Step 1: Apply Blanc Type all over the eyelid up to the brow with a flat eyeshadow brush.

Step 2: Apply Handwritten in the crease of the eye with a fluffy crease brush

Step 3: Apply Wedge using a blending brush for a more smoother look.

Products used: M.A.C. eye shadows in Blanc Type, Handwritten, and Wedge.

Brushes used: ELF eyeshadow brush, Sonia Kushuk crease brush, M.A.C. 217 blending brush.

Golden Smokey Eye with Urban Decay Naked Palette

 

 

Another Naked Palette eye, this one is a golden smokey eye. Like most, it's easy and doesn't take a lot of time to do.

1.) Start by priming the eye, instead of using eye primer I opted to go with a white eyeliner all over my eyelid and underneath my eye.  I did this because I wanted the pigments to really stick and to be even brighter.

 

2.) Using a flat eyeshadow brush, apply Half Baked all over the eyelid and underneath the lash line.

3.) Using a contour brush, apply Smog in a V-shape in the crease of the eye.

4.) Using the same contour brush, apply Dark Horse in the crease of the eye to darken it up. Also, taking a flat eyeshadow brush, apply Virgin to the inner corners of the eyes.

5.) Swirl a blending brush into Naked or Buck (if you have lighter skin tones use Naked, if you have darker skin tones use Buck) I opted for Naked. Take this and blend Smog and Dark Horse up to the brow bone.

6.) Apply Dark Horse to the lash line and put on eyeliner and mascara. Boom. Done.

Copper Smokey Eye

 

This eye is a little complicated and time consuming, it takes about 10-15 minutes to do and involves a lot of layering, however, the end result is worth it.   

 

1.) Prime the eye, I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion

2.) Using a flat eyeshadow brush, put Handwritten by M.A.C. all over the eyelid up to the crease (stopping just before the inner corners).

3.) Next, using the same flat eyeshadow brush (make sure you wipe it off) put Blonde Streak by M.A.C. in the inner corners of eyes and on the brow bone (be careful because this eyeshadow has a lot of fall out due to the sparkles in it).

 4.) Using the flat eyeshadow brush, cover the eyelid with Darkhorse in the Naked Palette by Urban Decay, I softened it up in the inner corners so that it would blend a little bit better.

5.) With the flat eyeshadow brush apply Copper Craze by Maybelline over the eyelid, like before with Darkhorse, I softened it at the inner corners and blended it in with my fingers.

 6.) With a crease brush, apply Carbon by M.A.C. to the outer corners only, then blend inward with a blending brush.

7.) Using a blending brush, apply Buck in the Naked Palette by Urban Decay right above the crease to blend the colors together. After blending the eyeshadow out, I went back over the inner corners of my eye with the Blonde Streak to make it more bold. Apply eyeliner and mascara and you are done. 

 

 

Products used: Urban Decay's Primer Potion, M.A.C. eye shadows in Blonde Streak, Handwritten, and Carbon, Urban Decay's Naked Palette in Darkhorse and Buck, and Maybelline Copper Craze eyeshadow.

I used the Naked Palette by Urban Decay for this smokey eye, it's not very hard to do and you only need to use three different eye shadows to achieve this look.

 

 

Step 1-Prime the eye, you can use whatever kind you prefer, I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion because it came with the palette.

Step 2-Using a flat eye shadow brush, apply Virgin to the entire eye and up to the brow.

 Step 3-Using the same flat eye shadow brush, apply Gunmetal from outer corner of the eye until mid eyelid.

 Step 4-Using a rounded crease brush, apply creep to the outer corner of the crease and work inward.

Step 5-Use a blending brush and blend the eye shadows together, there's no special technique, just make sure that everything is well-blended.

Step 6-Apply eyeliner and mascara.

Valentines day inspired eye

 

Given that it's Valentines Day in a few days, I decided to do an eye inspired by it.  I combined champagne colors, light pinks, dark pinks, and whites to create this eye.  It's pretty easy to do and doesn't take much time either.

 

Step 1: Using a flat eye shadow brush, apply MAC Crystal Avalanche in the inner corners and brow bone. 

Step 2: Using the same flat eye shadow brush, apply Urban Decay’s Naked Palette in Sin up until about 3/4 ‘s way of the eye, stopping slightly before reaching the inner corner of the eye.

Step 3: Apply Urban Decay’s Naked Palette in Toasted from the outer corner of the eye until mid-eyelid, using the flat eye shadow brush.

Step 4: Using an eye shadow contour brush, apply MAC’s Cranberry eye shadow in the crease of the eye.

Step 5: Using the same rounded eye shadow crease brush, apply Urban Decay Naked Palette in Hustle in the outer corner of the eye.

Step 6: Using a flat eye shadow brush, put MAC’s blonde streak eye shadow in the lower inner corner of the eye.

Step 7: Blend everything out using a blending brush.  I like to use MAC’s 217 brush.

Step 8: Apply eyeliner and mascara.
