Smokey Eyes for Daytime
I was getting a little bored with black. Plus, I really wanted to wear red on my lips...or plum, or bright pink! But black, smokey eyes and colorful lips can be a little overwhelming. So I decided to pull out some of my old favorites and mix them together. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Chocolate Shimmer Ink is beautiful! I apply it close to the lash line (literally rest the brush on your lashes and drag along the line) with MAC angled brush #266. This brush is great for creating a wing-tip at the outer corner. Just lift towards your eyebrow at the end of your lash line. Then use the left over color on the brush to apply a little liner along the lower lash line. After the chocolate I applied a plum-raisin shade from Makeup Forever (Aqua Eyes pencil # 18L). The Aqua Eyes line is very long lasting. Waterproof and all :) The combination of chocolate and plum created a multi-dimensional smokey eye that was subtle and compliment worthy. I had several people tell me they loved whatever it was I did to my eyes (lol!). Funny thing, I loved my eyes so much I sorta skipped the bright pink lipstick!
