Navy Smoky Eye

 

Hi ladies. Today I have a Navy blue smoky eye look. Today was a very productive day for me and that's always a nice feeling for a Sunday. I'm excited about this look because it's using a product that I've had for a while and really love. If you want to check out how I did this, click below! :)

 

So for whatever reason my pictures of my eye got all messed up and the quality of the first few look so horrible, so I'm gonna skip ahead a few steps and just explain what I did. I started by priming my eye with painterly paint pot. Next I took the color Faint from the Naked Basics palette and blended it into my crease. Then I took this Rimmel Exagerate Pencil in Deep Ocean and applied it to my lid. Focusing more toward the lash line, and blending it upwards with my finger.

So next I placed a piece of tape from the outer corner of my eye toward the end of my brow. I could have angled it out a bit more but oh well, I'm never good at judging this step.

 

Next, taking this L'Oreal Infalliable Shadow in Midnight Blue, apply it all over the lid. I find if your using a brush with these shadows, you need to get a lot on your brush. My favorite way to apply these is with my fingers! The color payoff is extreme, I love these. If you use a brush there will be fallout, as you can see. To blend this Midnight Blue with Faint, I take the color Siouxsie-Sioux from the Kat Von D Ladybird palette, and blend it right below the crease. It is a matte navy shade so it does a great job of blending the two.

 

You can take the tape off now, I lightly applied a matte white along the edge we created. I also applied the Rimmel Deep Ocean pencil along my lower lashline and set it with the Midnight Blue shadow. I highlighted under my brow with the same matte white, and did any extra blending that needed to be done.

 

I finished up with some black liquid liner, mascara and falsies. I have no idea the name of these, I use them all the time though. I can't even tell you the brand, I'm horrible. I think it's Natural something? They're not natural by any means obviously but they're fantastic looking. If anyone wants to know they brand and name I will figure it out!

I think this looks goes best with a glowy complexion and nude lips. Honestly I only did one eye so that explains the half face picture. I'm wearing LOreal Ture Match foundation, NYC Sun n Bronze in Montauk Bronze, Elf baked highlighter in Blush Gems, and Elf Natural Nymph lipstick. My highlights not that extreme in person, natural sunlight and flash helped. But I do really like the blush gems highlighter! Also I look fabulously crazy in this picture. My brows are rebelling against me. ALSO bad news! I cannot find this Rimmel Deep Ocean pencil anywhere now! I just searched for it and it's gone. I did some cleaning after I did this look and I fear it's gone forever, :( I will keep searching!

So I hope you all liked this! I had every intention of doing a warm red and brown look using the Luxe quad I hauled yesterday. But things just didn't work out, so this happened instead! I'm happy with the results. As always, thank you so much for reading! Love you all!
