Apply your primer evenly throughout your face. Make sure your hair is still pulled back to make this step simple. Why primers? Primers are what help make your makeup stay on longer. Some smooth fine lines and pores to help you create the illusion of perfect skin. Primers create a perfect canvas for foundation application. Applying Foundation 1. First make sure you have the right foundation color for your skin. Ask a consultant at any beauty store if you’re unsure of the one that’s right for you. 2. With your hair still pulled back, apply a small amount of foundation on your forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose. 3. Gently brush all of the foundation trying to cover as much of your face as possible, until every inch of your face is covered with foundation. 4. You may always add more foundation if needed. 5. Keep brushing, smoothing, and applying foundation until your face looks as if you didn’t apply foundation at all. 6. Remember, the point of using a foundation is to hide your imperfections, not to highlight them. Warning: It is extremely important for you to choose the right foundation. If your foundation does not match with your skin, your face will be a completely different tone than the rest of your body. You want to make the look as natural as possible, or else you’ll end up looking like the girl to the left! Yikes! Chapter 3: Applying the Eyeshadow Chapter 3 11 Eye shadow This chapter focuses on eyeshadow specifics and application. Eyeshadow application is the most important to have a beautiful smoky eye. Shadow Color You can do the smoky eyes with any color eye shadow. Even though in this how-to smoky eye manual I specify in the materials that you should have white, silver and black eye shadow. • Blue eyes o Earth tones o Purples o Colored greys o Silver • Green/Hazel eyes o Mocha brown shades o Oranges o Lavender purple o Gold • Brown eyes o Can wear any color o Stand out with green or blue eye shadow Beauty tip: If you want your eyes to stand out, try using the shadows listed above for your eye color. If not, the combination of black, silver, and white always works for any type of eye and always matches your outfit! 12 How to Do a Smoky Eye Makeup Applying the eye shadow 1. Cut two pieces of tape about the size of your thumb. 2. Put one of the tapes ends on the outer tip of your eye and the other to the outer tip of your eyebrow. 3. Repeat the previous step with your other eye. 4. The tapes should look diagonal facing outward as if your tracing a tape line from the outer tip of your eye to the outer tip of your eyebrow. Beauty tip: Follow these steps in putting the tapes correctly. This helps you keep your face neat and clean since the eye shadow will be all over your eye lids. It prevents eye shadow from concentrating in your temples and smudging all over. . We want to avoid this! Chapter 3 13 Step Three Step One 1. Lightly stroke your eyeshadow brush on the white eyeshadow. 2. Make sure you have enough on your brush to apply it on your brow/highlight on both eyes. 3. After applying the white eyeshadow, take your brush and brush it against the towel. 1. 4. Try to get as much of the white eyeshadow out as possible so it 2. Step Two 1. Lightly stroke your eyeshadow brush on the black eyeshadow. 2. Apply it in the outer lid, outer crease and above the crease. 3. Now that you know the specific areas on where you should apply each color you can play around with it and adjust the colors to your liking. Lightly stroke your eyeshadow brush on the silver eyeshadow. Apply it from the inner lid crossing the middle lid and just slightly in the outer lid. Most of the silver eyeshadow should be in the inner and middle lid and just a tiny bit in the outer lid. 3. Clean your brush with the towel as you did for the white eyeshadow. Chapter 4: Finishing Touches Chapter 4 17 The cherry on top In this chapter you’ll see how to apply the eyeliner, mascara, powder blush and bronzer. Eye Liner Application 1. With your cream eyeliner trace your lash line and your lower water line. 2. Trace your lash line with liquid eyeliner for a more accentuated look. 3. Trace the tip of your inner lower lash line with the white pencil to add some light to your eyes. Beauty tip: While applying your liquid eyeliner put your elbow firmly in a table or flat surface. Doing so will make your arm more stable and easier to control tracing your lash line. Mascara Application Beauty tip: Applying Vaseline to your lashes before bed helps h Warning: Remember to always remove your makeup before going to bed. Leaving your mascara on can seriously damage your eyelashes! There are different types of mascaras. Volumizing, lengthening, eye lighting and even some that do all at once. 1. Repeat the process once or twice more to create a really fluttery effect. 2. Comb through your lashes with an eyelash comb. 3. After choosing a mascara start by applying mascara to your lower lashes. Brush them downward to begin with, then brush the lashes upward from underneath. Use a tiny zig zag movement from side to side to prevent the mascara from clumping. 18 How to Do a Smoky Eye Makeup Powder Application Now that you have your fabulous smoky eyes done completely it’s time to put the finishing touches starting with the powder. Powder provides for a good coverage to create a nice soft smooth look to your skin. 1. Take your powder and apply it all over your face. 2. Make sure that you’re covering all the spots. 3. Apply powder in your neck line and smooth it so you diffuse the makeup. This helps you avoid having a very noticeable separation from your neck and face. Bronzer: The Sunless Tan Looking a little pale? Bronzers your solution! Having a strong black Smokey eye might make people with light skin seem even lighter because of the contrast of colors. 1. Start by Applying bronzer in your forehead with a side to side sweep of the brush. 2. Apply bronzer to your cheek bone going diagonally up. 3. Apply bronzer on your chin and spread it to both sides of the face. 4. Apply bronzer in your neck and jawline to make the bronze color seem more natural and not have your neck and face different colors. Beauty tip: You can also apply a little bit of bronzer on your chest and where your clavicle is to make it seem like your actually tanned. Chapter 4 19 Blush Application Blush is my favorite part for a finishing touch. It gives girls that sweet innocent look with rosy cheeks. 1. With your brush Apply some blush in both your cheekbones. 2. After applying blush on your cheekbones apply it diagonally upward from the middle of your cheek toward your ear. 3. Apply a little bit of blush on your nose, forehead and chin to create a flushed look but not as much as in your cheeks. Beauty tip: Applying your blush diagonally upward it’ll make your face seem slimmer, accentuating your cheekbones. 20 How to Do a Smoky Eye Makeup Lipstick Neutrals or Bold Since the Smoky eye is so dark people tend to use nude or light pink lip glosses or lipsticks.
