SMOKING....................................................

look 1
morning smokey
1..just pencil on top of eye,close to lashes,with a dark brown pencil..I love Mattese sold at Rickys!

2..smudge pencil with finger or brush and blend a little outwards.

over the top of the pencil,set it with a little dark brown eyeshadow ,so it stays ,

love Dior /Beige Massai 5 color set.

3. little contour for stronger cheeks/Mac Sculpt.

4. soft lips...Nars 'Dolce Vita'



look 2

lunchtime date


1.take pencil under the eye,just going from outer eye,about half way to the middle.

2. smudge again,and then go over a little with dark brown eyeshadow.

It is very important to blend ,we don't want to do a racoon eye!!!

3. I always like to add a little highlighter with a smokey eye,it sets it off really well,and also helps to blend the corners..

Ben Nye /Ice

you can lightly brush onto the edges of the dark powder and dot it in the corners.

4.. to create more of a balance with the eye,lets pop up the cheek color a bit more...

Nars Orgasm,[always good for a lunchtime date]

use in either a creme stick or powder blush,apply to apple of the cheeks!



4. with an extra spark ,add Super Orgasm in lip gloss.



look 3

after work drinks...
1. add more smoke!!

to give more depth to the color it is also good to try a dark grey,not as harsh as black,but more drammatic than brown!

try Brumes eye duo from Nars...

using the darker side,add the eyeshadow to the top of the eyelid,blending in with the existing brown,and making sure again to avoid the hard edges,don't take it all the way to the existing shadow , stick to close to the lash line to give drama,and then you can blend it into the existing brown.

Also good to take dark brown pencil inside the wetline at this point for an extra smokey effect.



2 to create more earley evening drama ,lets add more highlighter to the cheeks,so lightly brush Ben Nye /Ice to above the cheek bone.

3. Nude lips also give an illusion of more drama with the darker eye,so lets try a slight dab of foundation,I always love Nars 'Sheer Glow' foundation.

Just to take away the lip colour,but make sure your lips are not dry,so always good to use lip balm before applying .

finish with a nude lip gloss,

Nars /Striptease..

sets the mood for the evening ,but keep your clothes on girls!!!

Major Nightime

1. to achieve this look we are going really dark on the eyes.

using black liquid liner..I like Mac Creme liner,as it works great with any brush,just add water!

apply liner to top of the eye ,close to the lashes,and if possible try and dot some in between lashes.

you can take it out past the corners just a little.

2. adding more shadow now,we can switch to a black,or stick with the darker grey,really add depth though,close to the liner and winging it out slightly towards to corners.I like 'Tatou' by Channel.

3. At this point we should really darken the brows to heighten the drama,using a brush lightly stroke color over the brows and extend the brow a little to define and lengthen.

I love Brow Zings by Benefit!

4.Ok girls,if anyone really wants to try extra drama,at this point I would try to apply single lashes,available at any local drug story,

dot some clear white glue on your hand and with tweezers,dab the end of the single lash into the glue,don't use too much,and close the eye and try and add to the outer corners of the lashline,to really give you a sexy cat eye effect.

It is not easy but with practice it is doable!!



5. really fun nightime lip,

Turkish Delight/lip gloss by Nars.



look 5.

Colour Smokey!

1. As an alternative to darker browns and greys/blacks,it is also possible to create a smokey eye with a colour,I like to use purple because it has a darkness to it and works well with a brown or a black eyeliner.

A good purple to try ..

Melusine,by Nars

first use the brown eyeliner or the black whichever you prefer,create a line between the lashes.if you want the eyeshadow to stick well to the eyelid,its always good to add a touch of foundation before applying that way the shadow has something to stick to..

with a brush apply shadow to the lid,blending out and smudging with finger,with color it is better to not go past the socket line ,and keep the area smaller ,as the colors are quite strong ,and less is more!!!

2..I don't think you need blush with a strong colour on the eye,best to keep it simple.

3. lips

for an extra pop of colour try Schiap,matt lipstcik by Nars,just dab it on with your finger for an explosion of pink !
