Simple 5 Minute Smoky Look

Hey everyone, so as promised a while back, here is my simple smoky look!

First, start off with a clean, bare face, preferably moisturized, of course. Then gather the products you will be using.




All the products I used for this look.


Apply your foundation, in this case I used powder foundation with a brush. Powder is a little quicker than liquid and gives a sheerer coverage.


If needed, apply concealer under eyes and in any areas that you want covered. (As you can see, I needed it!)


Then, prime your eye with a primer or creme shadow. I used NARS cremeshadow in Cosmic Girl, and applied it all over the lid, from lash line to under brow. Then set it with a powder shadow in a natural shade. Orb by MAC is a great neutral!


Next, grab a good black eyeliner and line the upper and lower lash lines. On the lower, try to only line the water line, and on the top stay close to the lash. This does not have to be perfect, so don't worry, just apply the color.


Then take an angled brush and smudge the lines a bit, evening them out.


Take the same brush and dip it in a black powder shadow. Apply over the liner pencil to set. On the top lash line, smudge it out and up, but don't take the color higher than the lower half of your lid.


Do the same on the bottom, staying close to the water line. A little outside the lines on the outer corner is okay.


Then take a q-tip to clean up the area and get rid of any fallout.



Take a peachy pink blush, and apply to your apples in "C" motions. I used my favorite blush in the world NARS Orgasm. I also used some bronzer under my cheek bones and around my forehead and jawline, for color.


Take a very delicate light pink shade of lipstick and apply to your lips. I actually used a tinted lip balm!


Then apply a sheer pinkish gloss over. The goal of this look is to have a sheer pink sheen on the lip.


Last, coat those lashes with a nice natural lengthening mascara.


Finished Look!!! Simple and easy to do and most definitely adjustable to your liking. Feel free to make it more dramtic or play it down even more.
