Makeup Tutorial: Smoky Eyes With a Pop of Color

Hello everybody! I don’t do makeup tutorials very often, but I got this idea last night and I knew I had to do it. Most, if not all of the products I used are available at drugstores, and all of them are affordable. (Under $20) Let’s get right into the post! 

Here is the makeup look. It’s a navy blue and silver smoky eye with some bright purple lipstick. I think this is a really cool edgy, rebellious look that would be great for going to a concert or something at night time. 

How to achieve this look:

First I started with my primer. This is Maybelline’s Master Prime Redness Control Primer. I have uneven skin tone and acne problems, and this primer does a good job of evening out my skin tone. 

Next is foundation. 

I use the Maybelline foundation for blending into my neck. For my face, I use a mixture of 2 parts Maybelline and 1 part L’Oreal foundation to better match my skin tone. I prefer the Maybelline one more than the L’Oreal, but this shade is too light during the summer nights and the L’Oreal one helps to prevent oiliness. 

Next I cover any acne or extra redness with this Nyx Full Coverage Concealer. I also use this concealer under my eyes, and set it with this elf High Definition Undereye Setting Powder to prevent creasing. 

Then I use the eye primer from this Eye Primer and Liner Sealer duo by elf and let it set in while I do the rest of my face makeup. 

Then I contour my cheek area using the Milani Illuminating Face Powder in the shade Hermosa Rose. Next I use the Maybelline Master Glaze Cream Blush Stick in the shade Make a Mauve and blend it into my cheeks. I then highlight my cheekbones using the middle shade in my City Color Highlight Trio Palette. 

I used this champagne colored loose glitter pigment eyeshadow by Naked Cosmetics on the inner corners of my eyelids. Then I used the Navy Blue shade in this elf eyeshadow palette for the lower part of my upper eyelid, and the silver shade to blend in the outer corner and over top of the blue. 

Next I used the Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner in the shade Blackest Black and created a wing, and also lined my waterline. Then I used this lengthening Smashbox X-Rated mascara on my top and bottom lashes as sort of a primer, and went over it with my Maybelline Waterproof Lash Sensational Volumizing Mascara to create extra thickness and volume. 

Lastly, I applied my Nyx Liquid Suede Matte Cream Lipstick in the shade Amethyst, and set all of my makeup with my Maybelline Masterfix Setting Spray. 

That’s all for my makeup look! I hope you guys enjoyed it and try it out. I got all of these products from the drugstore except for the loose pigment eyeshadow, the highlighter palette, and the Smashbox mascara. Those I recieved from Ipsy through my subscription. That’s all for today’s post, see you next time!
