Smokey Eyes

Smokey Eye Makeup

You will need the following products a matte black base (blacktrack fluidline), a matte black powder eyeshadow , a matte highlight that is similar to your skintone (performance eyeshadow), another matte highlight that is similar to your skintone but darker than the previous one (malt eyeshadow), a black kohl and [optionally] a shimmery silver or black eyeshadow if you want a shimmery look.
You will need the following tools, a seprate brush (like the 252), a blending brush and a blending brush for the highlight colors. To clean up fall out using a cosmetic remover wipe works best and is easiest to quickly eradicate the black fall out and underneath the eyes.

Using a firm, flat brush pick up just a dab of blacktrack fluidline. This is all we are going to use for one entire eye and yes it will really be enough. A little goes a long way and it is better to start small and add as required rather than deal with an overabundance of product.

Begin applying blacktrack fluidline as your base on the inner portion of your lid. You want to place the brush as pictured and pull the color upwards and outwards to begin covering the lower part of your lid. You want to make sure you establish some sort of shape whatever your preference. Do your best to make it fairly curved, but it does not have to be perfect. A few imperfections will disappear the process.

You have applied most of the product initially on the brush, and you will spend the next few steps spreading it out by pulling the color upward and outward from the middle portion of your lower lid.

Continue covering your lid in blacktrack fluidline by making sure to color your outer lid as well.

Pulling the color upwards and outwards will cause the color to look faded and streaky. This occurs and is expected but is easily remedied by simply brushing downwards once you have pulled the color the appropriate height. You can also gently pat the color back into the smoother place.

This the positioning of your brush when you are patting color into place or if you wanted to pull your brush downwards to ensure a flat surface rather than a streaky one as mentioned in the previous step.

This is what your finished product should look like.

Using a seprate blending brush pick up carbon eyeshadow. You may need to return and pick up more of the black shadow as you work on the look.

In a similar fashion as applying the base start packing on the carbon eyeshadow all over the black portion of your lid.

You want to make sure you get the shadow on all your base because it helps the eyeshadow and the base to set.

You want to go all the way to edges and if you go over that is perfectly okay.

To help soften some of the line, gently swish your brush back and forth over the outer edge.

It will take a few times before you see the edge soften. Do not spend forever doing this because we will help soften the edge further using our highlights.

Using a seprate brush for highlighter colors, pick up performance eyeshadow with your brush.

Apply performance eyeshadow directly underneath your brow onto your brow bone. You want to place it towards the inner portion of your brow.

Gently slide your brush over the space beneath your eyebrow as you make your way towards the outer portion of the brow.

You can choose to continue using performance eyeshadow or you can use a slightly darker color like malt eyeshadow. Keeping the brush at the pictured angle cover the very outermost edge of black with malt eyeshadow. Do not worry about all the fall out on the black eyeshadow.

Gently brush the black shadow into the highlight colors to help soften the harsh edge of black.

This is what you should have when the eye is closed.

This is what you should have when the eye is open.

Similarly action out the steps before, only this time increasing the amount of black space.

Using the brush you used to apply carbon eyeshadow, pick up a touch of the black shadow and hold your brush horizantally against your outer lower lash line. Gently dab the brush against the outermost portion of your lower lash line and then carefully move it towards the inside of your lash line, but ensure that you stop one third to one half of the way.

This is what it should look like. You can clean up as you go or you can clean up when you are finished.

I find that kohl pencil liners are easy to use, blacktrack fluidline is fabulous for staying on the waterline. I take my technakohl and dip the tip into the blacktrack fluidline just to get a touch of the fluidline.

I apply the fluidline by starting in the middle of my lower lash line and moving outwards in both directions, continually sliding back and forth over my lower lash line and lower waterline.
Add mascara of your choice, curl lashes if desired and your eyes are finished. To complete the look, minimize focus on cheeks and lips by using a light handed blush like Pearl Sunshine beauty powder and a deeper contouring color to dramatize features.
If you want to give a shimmery look read the following steps.

Using your blending brush, pick up a black shimmery or silver eyeshadow like black tied eyeshadow or silver ring eyeshadow.Since I dont have black tied, I will be using Silver Ring.

This is what it looks like after you have applied Silver Ring Shadow.

Using the brush, you used to apply carbon eyeshadow pick up more of it and apply all over the lid, make sure to cover the silver portions.

This what it should look like- a bit more shimmery than before.

The Peacock Eye

The Sophisticated Pink Eye

This look is good for night time or conservative functions.

• You dont need any eyeliner for this look; only black eyeshadow.
• Line the lower lash line with black eye shadow. It's best to apply this with the side of your eye shadow applicator.
• Next line all of the crease with the same black eye shadow. Next use a brush to gently smudge all the into each other and to smudge the black outwards.

Tips For Beautiful Hair

• Wash and dry your hair carefully preventing tangles and damage. If you wash and towel dry your hair too vigorously, you will damage your hair before you even begin to style! When washing your hair, use your fingertips to gently rub your scalp. Dont scrub. To dry your hair pat and squeeze dry with a towel.
• Make sure you are using brushes appropriate for your hair type and hair length. Use brushes with round edges to prevent damage. Brush your hair gently only when necessary.
• Maintain your hair with pride and consistency. Depending on the length and style, have it trimmed appropriately. If you wear your hair short, have the style refreshed every 3-4 weeks. If you are growing your hair longer, have it trimmed after every 6-8 weeks to remove split ends.
• Make sure to eat enough protein. Since the hair shaft is composed of a protein called keratin, a diet low in protein is a triggering factor for brittle hair. You need at least 2-3 daily servings of protein (soya milk, nuts, peas and nut butter) for hair that is manageable and healthy.
