Askmewhats Version: "Smoked Purple for the Day" Look

After makeup class, I've been very busy with a lot of things so I haven't really been wearing much makeup lately. But how long does it really take to create a daytime smokey look? Not that long! :)

Here's my final look
And yes, you can work this out
on daytime!


Askmewhats' Diagram


Step 1:

Prior to e/s application, I drew MAC's Sharkskin Shadestick on the crease area as base.


Pat on Urban Decay's e/s in Last Call using a flat shader brush.


Step 2:

Using a blending brush, apply Urban Decay's e/s in perversion on the outer v and blend well. Making sure there's no harsh lines.


Step 3:

Using a bigger blending brush, apply any neutral e/s color on the brow bone area. I am using Bourjois' Beige Rose.

Step 4:

To make the eyes pop, apply a shimmery white e/s on the inner corner of the eyes. I am using Kate's Gradical eyes palette.



Step 5:

Tightline with Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero, apply the black liner all over the outer upper lashline and lower lashline.


Step 6:

Line the inner lower waterline with Urban Decay's Yeyo or any white eyeliner.


Apply 2 coats of your favorite mascara
I use both Cover girl Lash Blast
and Paul & Joe Curly Mascara
curled with Shu Uemura Eyelash curler

Final look :)



For the Face

Mineraux premium concealer Green Corrector
Mineraux Premium Foundation in Neutral Medium

I use my EDM Flat Top brush to lightly apply the green corrector all over the cheeks and forehead where redness are visible. Then buff on the foundation.

For the Cheeks


Mineraux Premium Bronzer in Beach Tan
Using my Charm blusher brush

For the Lips

Clinique Soft Shine Lipstick in Creamy Nude
Cover Girl Wetslicks Amazement in Toast-ed

And I'm ready
to face the world! :)

Smiles to everyone! :)
Have a wonderful day!
keep smilin'
Stay happy!

  34. Kahani, Oooohhh the UD Book of shadows are very pigmented but I have to say not all the colors would be the same texture, there are some with bigger shimmer which isn't wearable in my dictionary! Hey, I'm just trying to kill your lemmings! LOL
