hey guys so for today's video i created yet another look with the michaela x glam light
palette today i did like a super black smokey eye with purple all around it and i did want to like
the iridescent shimmer shades on top and i love how this look turned out so if you want to see how
i created this look go ahead and keep on watching so since i want this to be like a super dark
smokey eye i'm going to start with the black base and i'm actually going to use my favorite black
eyeliner which is the house labs gel coal liner this is like the creamiest blackest liner ever so
i think this will work pretty well as a base so my eye is already primed and i'm literally just going
to apply this all over my lid pretty sloppily and then before that dries i'm taking a sigma e58
and just kind of blending that out so this step would also work with just like a black eye pencil
maybe like the nyx jumbo eye pencil but honestly this eyeliner is working pretty well too
and i'm just bringing it on my lid i don't want this in my crease at all and this just gives
the black eyeshadow that i'm going to put on top something to stick to and it's just going to make
it like extra pigmented and this step might not work with all black eyeliners i just know it'll
work with this one because this is a super creamy eyeliner so if you have like a pretty stiff black
liner that would not work for this step all right once you start to look like a panda we're going to
move on so i'm just going to take the black shade in the palette it's just called black is black
and i'm using that same exact brush and i'm just going to pat this right on top of that eyeliner
and since we're using super dark eyeshadow today i would highly recommend to do your eyes
first and then your face makeup because i'm already getting some black fallout
you definitely don't want black fallout on your pretty all done foundation and with this eyeshadow
i am kind of curving out the shape a little bit more and i'm bringing it just a little bit up
higher towards my crease so here's what this eye looks like with the black eyeshadow this
one doesn't have it on so you can see i did bring it up just a little bit higher towards my crease
so whenever i'm doing a super dark smokey eye like this i like to go from darkest to lightest
so now i'm going to take a really dense blending brush this is a sigma e42 and i'm going to take
this dark purple authenticity and i'm going to use this to start to blend out the black so i'm kind
of going right along the edge of that black with the purple and i'm just blending back and forth
and you really want to make sure using a small blending brush for this step because if you use a
big fluffy one you're going to get black all over your eye so when you're working close to the lid
like with this step you want a small brush and i am starting to bring up that purple into my crease
because it's going to go from black to dark purple to light purple and this look really isn't going
to look perfect until you're like done with it so if it still looks sloppy that's totally fine you
can see mine's still kind of messy out there but just to show you here's what this eye looks like
with the purple slightly blended and that's what i started with so we're getting somewhere and you
can also do this look with like any color combo you want like i was looking at this palette and
i could totally do green or blue for this step but i just wanted to do purple and black today
so now i'm going to switch to another blending brush this is the one i was just using now i'm
going to use the e33 which is still small but it is slightly fluffier and i'm going to pick
up mama wang on this brush and now we're going to blend out the deeper purple so i am going
to slightly higher up in my crease and doing those same just back and forth blending motions
and don't be afraid to pick up more product
for this step because there is going to be a lot of blending
make sure you blend right here in the inner lid too
so just look at the difference between this eye and this one like we're getting there it looks so
much better so i'm not really sure what happened but my mic cut out just for a few seconds here
but all i did was clean off my e42 on my sigma switch just to get some of that pigment off of it
and then i picked up the shade memu and i'm placing that directly in the crease to add
a little bit of depth back into the look because i want kind of more like a medium
purple shade you know i use my dark purple i use my light purple now i need something in between
so this shades just going back and forth in my crease to add a little bit more depth and like
a rich purple to the look and then to really help with the blending i just took a skin tone
colored eyeshadow on the sigma e33 and i blended right below my brow this just softens and smooths
out all the edges and then i took a makeup wipe and i just cleaned up right underneath my eyes
and just the edge of the eye shadow and then i went and popped on my face makeup and we're back
so let's finish up the lower lash line i think i'm gonna do kind of like the same thing that i
did on my lid so i'm gonna start with that house labs liner and i'm gonna keep a small smudge brush
nearby this is a sigma e21 i'm gonna run this liner along my waterline and my lower lash line
and i'm taking this brush with no product on it and i'm just smudging out that black
and now i am going to take a little bit of the black eyeshadow from the palette
and just get that really close to my waterline
and then i'm going to take that medium purple shade meemu and
kind of use that to start to blend out the black
and i'm going to take a different blending brush this is a sigma e27 and i'm taking that lightest
shade at mama wing and placing that kind of like right underneath the black because
again we're just blending it and we want that purple to kind of peek through around the black
all right so here is this eye with on the lower lash line done so let's do the same to this eye
now you can just take any highlighter shade and pop that in your inner corner
all right so here is where we're at with the eye shadow and i freaking
love this i love the black smokey eye with the purple all around it's completely matte at this
point other than the inner corner and i think i'm going to add one of like the iridescent shimmers
on top of the black on my lid just to like make it pop even more so i kind of just wanted to stop
here and show you this final look but i'm just gonna go one step further but if you like this
all matte look go for it do it so i'm gonna take oh my god on my finger okay i hope this totally
doesn't like ruin the look because i love how this looks but i just have to try this
whoa okay i do have some fallout on my face in that so just be careful but okay here's what it
looks like with oh my god that without it's like kind of crazy how much that one shade just like
changed the entire look i can't decide which side i like better what do you guys think and i'm kind
of focusing it in the center of the lid but i am like lightly bringing it outwards towards
the inner and outer part of my lid okay that's pretty freaking cool so yeah that's kind of up to
you whether or not you want to do that last step i think it looks pretty awesome so i'm gonna go pop
on some mascara and lashes and then i'll show you the full face all right i finished up the
eyes and popped on my lashes i popped on my brand the bright lashes and the style is called adorn
these are my wispiest lash and i wanted these because i really wanted you to be able to see
like the iridescent and the black smokiness you can like see the shadow through the wispy lash
so here is what the full face looks like it is so smoky and intense i'm wearing the charlotte
tilbury lip liner an iconic nude and then i popped on this gloss that i don't wear very frequently
it's from makeup by mario and it's the shade mauve nude it has these little glitters in it so
i thought it would look kind of cool with like the glitter and iridescent on my eyelids i had so much
fun creating this makeup look and it was really fun to just do like a dark smokey eye because
