Hello again, and welcome back to the Glamrs studio.
So in this series that we're shooting today,
It's all about using your makeup to the maximum
and stuff that you already have especially
if you're travelling out to weddings or
parties or destination weddings etc.
but the thing with makeup is that everybody
wants to do it a little better every time they do try
most of us have our basics down
I think in terms of smokey eye or a basic pretty makeup,
but the thing is how do you amp it up
how do you take it up one notch
So I'm going to show you how you can do a basic smokey eye
which all of you know already if you've been watching these videos
and then take it up a notch further
by adding colour to it, so adding pop to your makeup.
So as always kohl, blending brushes
like these, one for blending thin lines
one for blending your eyeshadow.
So I'm going to work simultaneously
so I won't talk so much through this part of the video.
So take a kohl you can use browns or blacks it's not a die-hard rule
so please use anything that you find comfortable for you.
So that's basically a very bare minimum smokey eye.
We're gonna build on that shortly.
I'm just going to work simultaneously
so I get the shape right.
This won't even take you very long
so maybe five minutes max.
So all of us can pull off at least this much of a smokey eye
and that should be very achievable.
But the thing is most people do get stuck when it comes
to introducing colour to a smokey eye.
So this is quite simple and all you need to do is
add another colour.
I'm going to show you the brushes and the how-to for it.
But before you begin with color I recommend
that you use any powder at hand
but you do need something so you don't mess
up you're already prepped face
So I'm going to add the coloured pigment now a deep teal
I'm not going to disturb the baseline that I've created
instead I'm going to pat on the colour just above it
and blend into the crease.
I'm just gonna do the finishing a little later
but while the base is still sticky & tacky you better get the colour on
so I've got the basic colour on but you do want to always blend off
you do always want to blend off the seams
so as you progress towards your eyebrow just introduce lighter colors it could be a
skin colour too but I'm going to actually use a light green
to just blend that off so you have an essence of colour
running through the smokey eye
Now don't go into the crease instead just go above
just to give it an appearance of one more
dimension of color and to soften the look
Now the final step is to take off even that visible seam
and use a clean brush or a brush that has only skin colored products on it
and take the seam off
so the effect of this whole smokey eye is colored but really soft
it's a very easy look to pull off it doesn't take too much time
with a little attention it shouldn't take longer
than 10-15 minutes to achieve!
So there you go it's a really soft literally layered
smokey eye in which this colour has been introduced
and it can happen with a lot of ease!
Now just to add a little more funk to it I'm going to
add a dash of shimmer on the eyelids.
I'm just using a slightly greenish shimmer
so it catches light also and it's perfect for the evenings
yet it's not a dark black smokey eye!
I'm just gonna dust off all the excess from under the eye
You can choose whether you want a kohl pencil
or not I'm not really going in
with a kohl pencil because there's a fair amount of darkness and you want to
retain the essence of colour and this look.
So all I'm going to do is go in with the mascara
That's a pretty basic video on how you can take
your smokey eye up a notch
and simply add colour by layering so it saves you time
especially if you're running between two functions
or two events during a busy party season!
Enjoy the video!
