TUTORIAL; COLOUR MISSION

Everybody loves a smokey eye but it can be rather difficult to do it with colour.

1. First apply your base as normal with your moisturiser, primer, foundation, concealer and powder then fill in your brows. Apply a leaf green colour to the whole of the eye lid and under the lashes.

  

2. Add a dark green across the outer two thirds of the eye lid and under the lashes, blending it into the leaf green.

  

3. To deepen the colour use a dark brown on the outer corner of the eyelid and under the lashes then into the crease a little, blending it into the rest of the eyeshadow.

  

4. Apply a shimmering highlight colour into the inner corner and brow bone.

  

5. Add winged black liquid liner along the top lash line to elongate the eye.

  

6. Now apply a black kohl liner to the water line and the tight line to widen it.

  

7. Add a coat of mascara to top and bottom then another to make the lashes extra full.

  

8. Apply plum coloured lipstick and bronze the face. 

  

If you want to change this look up you could smudge out the liner, apply false lashes or leave out the highlights maybe even change the lipstick and/or eyeshadow colour for a softer look.
