Smokey Date Night Makeup Tutorial!

Hello everyone!

Before I start this tutorial I have a quick question for you. Does anyone who reads my blog also watch Revenge? I just started watching it and I am HOOKED! Comment down below and we'll chat, just please no spoilers!

Okay now for the tutorial! Here's a quick overview of the look and the products I used:

This time I started with my face because if I'm doing a look with winged eyeliner, I don't want to wreck it while I'm applying primer and foundation!

Not my pic! Found on ulta.com! 

I applied my Eyes Lips Face Mineral Face Primer as usual with my fingers, paying extra attention to dry patches and the area around my nose where my pores tend to be as big as black holes! 

For this tutorial I decided to give Revlon's Nearly Naked Foundation in Ivory another try (review coming soon!). This foundation is a shade too light for even my pale winter skin so bronzer and blush was a must for this look!

I used my usual favorite blush and bronzer, both by ELF. Thinking this in the tune of a broken record, the bronzer is their Mineral Pressed Bronzer in Caramel Cabana, and their Baked Blush in Peachy Cheeky.

After finishing my face, I moved onto my favorite place to experiment, my eyes!

First I prime my eyelids and undereye area with ELF's Mineral Eyeshadow Primer.

After I blend out the primer, I apply eyeshadows from my Hard Candy palette in this order:

First I apply the camel looking color in and just above my crease. Then I apply the light pink all over a lid. Third I apply the light brown shade all in my crease and blend it with the other colors. Then I apply the darkest brown on my outer-V and blend it slightly into the crease.

I find that after all that blending, the opacity of the pink shadow fades so I'll go back in and apply it on the lid. After I do that, I'll take the white color in the palette (which my camera didn't even pick up on) under my brow and in my inner corner. 

Once my shadow is done, I use ELF's (of course!) Cream Eyeliner in black to create a winged liner. I'm hoping to eventually do a tutorial on how I apply my winged liner so it looks great every time, but for now it shall remain a mystery! :)

As for my brows, all I do right now is take an angled eyeliner brush and use the same light brown that I used in my crease (#3) to fill them in. They really need to be touched up so I don't overfill them or else they'll look ridiculous!

Oh snap! I almost forgot to tell you all what I'm wearing on my lips! Today I picked Wet n Wild's Megalast lipstick in 901B "Think Pink". I think this was the perfect light pink to wear for this look! 

After I'm happy with my eyeliner, I curl my lashes and apply mascara. For this look I'm using my Rimmel London Scandaleyes mascara in waterproof black. I love using this mascara for more dramatic looks because it makes my lashes look almost like I'm wearing falsies! 

Here's one last look on this...look:

Okay guys, that's it for today's tutorial! Can you tell I'm obsessed with doing tutorials lately?? As always please find me on social media or comment below!
