So I've created a simple and easy way to do a smokey look! :)
Here's my version :D
Diagram time!!!
Step 1:
After applying MAC Cash Flow as base, using a medium sized e/s brush to apply a matte beige e/s color all over lids including brow bone.

ReplyDeleteDigital Angel, hehehe oooppsss my bad, it just came out without me thinking, girl! I changed it already! hahahaha I can't help it, i like calling you that way :D

ReplyDeleteBea, super simple no? I'm sure you can do it!!! I want to see it when I return to work ha?
ReplyDeletedidi you change your hair style? the bang looks different.
ReplyDeleteok, where on earth can i get that CS 88 e/s palette? i keep looking at it and really want it!
you did very well on the simple smokey!
Jojoba, yup, cut the bangs :) But it was weeks ago :) CS78 e/s palette is a gift from a friend in the US. But they order it from Coastal Scents :) I have a feeling you've got local sellers who sell them within Malaysia. I'm sure there is, as locally we're starting to have resellers too :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice smokey~ Very fresh looking, not heavy at all! :]
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are the De-potting Queen! How do you get those Ulta shadows out of the compact? Love the look!
ReplyDeletepretty :D
ReplyDeleteShe is good, but she's even better now. That picture was taken a little over 2 years ago :)
ReplyDeletekk, the smiley faces in the pics to show which colour you used, is soo cute!
I was worried about the bent liner from coastal scents to be to small, but its just perfect. Glad I did buy it from them :)
Anyway I like the look!
definitely a wearable smoky for the day!! looks ggreat on you :)
ReplyDeleteFuz, you are the queen of natural, and if it comes from you that the look is nice, I am happy! :D Thanks dear! I just finished watching your videos! :D
ReplyDeleteToma, using a flat screwdriver, just pry it out gently! :) You're lucky if you encountered an ULTA e/s single that has a lot of glue! LOL the Violet one is so difficult because they have a big blob of glue all over! The rest are easy! :D
Aika sis! Thank goodness, finally saw your blog I can't open it for weeks!!!! Now you're back on my blogroll :D
Rasilla, I'm glad you liked the bent liner, I like the bentliner from CS when I put liner on the waterline, I'm starting to like it too :) Thanks for loving my mini smileys! :)
this has got to be one of my favorite smokey looks! thanks for sharing this girl! I'll try this out for sure. :)
ReplyDeletelooking great!! you're getting prettier and prettier with ever post!:) did you do something to your hair? color it perhaps? coz it looks hot! :)
ReplyDeletei love this look nikki! i'm thinking of getting lash blast tuloy. :)
ReplyDeleteShen, yes, I colored my hair :) It looks really brown on photos because of the flash, but it's not that obvious I think in person :) hehehe Aawww...thanks for liking it :)
ReplyDeleteSabby, if you plan to purchase Lash Blast, check if they have the waterproof version, mine is non-waterproof so with our humidity, it smudges :)
I love this smokey look! great job ! this look cool for day time too:)

Vanessa M, I actually love the CG Trublend, I haven't use it on it's own as the color I bought is too light on me, just right for blending, but the texture is really smooth and easy to blend and doesn't feel heavy :D
