Askmewhats Version: "Quicky Smokey Eye" Look

My dear friend Bea of Beatrilicious wanted me to do a tutorial for a simple smokey eye look! She wanted a smokey eye look that's simple enough to be worn during the day.

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.



Step 2:
Apply Ulta Galaxy e/s on the lid going above the crease. (thanks Toma for this)



Step 3:
Using any big fluff blending brush, apply CS 78pcs e/s palette in gold (Thanks Digital Angel) or any e/s in gold and blend the harsh line created by Ulta Galaxy color.


Step 4:
Tightline using Paul & Joe eyeliner in Black. Apply Stila Smudgepots in Black thinly on lashline. Apply 2 coats of Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara in black.

End result :D



And what did I use for the rest of my face? Read on...


For the face


MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation mixed with Cover Girl TruBlend in Ivory

For the cheeks


Coastal Scents 78pcs e/s palette
2nd blush color
(hint of pink)


For the Lips


Eyeko Fat Balm on top of Kiehl's no. 1 Lip Balm

FOTD :D

Wishing everyone a great day!



I had fun doing this request!
Bei, I hope you learned something *winks*

If not, lol I'll show you in person

Take care everyone
Stay Happy!

  7. 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 :)

  9. Girl, you are the De-potting Queen! How do you get those Ulta shadows out of the compact? Love the look!

  10. She is good, but she's even better now. That picture was taken a little over 2 years ago :)

    kk, 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!

  12. Fuz, 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

    Toma, 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! :)

  15. i love this look nikki! i'm thinking of getting lash blast tuloy. :)

  16. Shen, 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 :)

    Sabby, if you plan to purchase Lash Blast, check if they have the waterproof version, mine is non-waterproof so with our humidity, it smudges :)

    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
