Final 'Smokey eye' images


I was pleased with my smokey eye I really liked the shades of purple I used within it, I used a lilac colour applied over the eyelid first, along with then applying a darker shade of purple into the crease and buffing this out and really blending the colours well. I then used a dark purple gel eye-liner under the eyes and applied the lilac colour on the inner corner of the eyes. I then applied a black MAC eye-liner pencil on the top lash line and blended this out while applying mascara after this. I started of by applying my smokey eye colours before doing my base, this is so I could easily clean any fall out of the purple eye-shadow without ruining my base. I used Illamasqua skin base on the skin along with my MAC concealer palette and left this very dewy looking only applying a small amount of translucent powder down the t-zone. After doing the base I applied Nars blusher in orgasm and then highlighter and contoured also, after this I then groomed the eyebrows and slightly filled these in leaving them quite natural and applied a dark nude coloured lipstick. For the hair I loosely curled the ends of it with a big curling tong giving it a bit of texture, as my model had very thin flat hair, I took some images with the hair more messed up and also some where the hair was more slick back behind the ear just to see the difference the hair style made to the make-up. Majority of the images I preferred the hair was behind the ears this allowed you to focus more on the make-up. Overall I am happy with the end result of my smokey eye and overall look if I was to re do it again I would like to have had more time with experimenting with a few more different hairstyles and photographing this look with these along with trying the look on someone else as my model was not that comfortable in front of the camera and found it quite hard to pose.
