Navy Smokey Eye Makeup Application

Hey everyone I just wanted to share with you a makeup application I recently did on one of my beautiful friends. We were going for a very sultry smokey eye with a twist. Instead of doing a traditional black and silver smokey eye we opted for a navy lid blended out with a matte gray and a peachy transition color. I will list the steps below that I took to achieve this look and what products I used. BTW I also curled and styled her hair :)

This palette is just sooooo beautiful and so is she :)

And this is how we did the dang thing!!!

 Her face was already prepped and ready to go so the first thing I started with was the eyes. I used the Benefit Stay Don't Stray in light medium to prep the eye and give the eye shadow something to stick to. I used the Lorac Pro Palette 2 for all the eye shadow. I started with a transition shade in the crease the color is called Nectar. I blended that in the crease for all the other colors to blend into. This is one of the most important steps while doing a smokey eye because it makes it less harsh and the colors have something to transition to so you do not end up with color blocked eyes. Next I used the color Charcoal in the lower crease to deepen the crease and have a guide for where I wanted to lay out the navy. I took alot of time with color blending because its very pigmented and a little went a long way. On the lid I used the color navy but before I placed it on the lid I sprayed it with e.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set(this is a great alternative to MAC Fix +) to make the color pop and I placed this all over the lid packing it on until I got the depth and color that I wanted. I also placed some of Chrome on the lower lash line. Next we moved onto foundation. I used Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in the color Gobi I applied this all over her face with a Beauty Blender I also spritzed some of the e.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set on the sponge as well. Next I moved onto contouring, to highlight I used NYX Hi Definition Concealer in the color Fair (this is a great dupe for MAC Prolongwear concealer) under her eyes, a little on her forehead, the bridge of her nose and on her chin. I blended this out with a beauty blender as well. For sculpting the cheek bones and her forehead I used the brown shade Coastal Scents contour kit I also used a mixture of the white and yellow shade as well as Ben Nye Banana Powder to set the concealer. For her cheeks I used City Color Cosmetics Intense Blush Quad #3 I used the peach shade all the way to the right of the palette. For her Highlight I used Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick in the color Beige. This is seriously the prettiest softest highlighter I have ever used I love it sooooo much! I put this on top of her cheekbones on the tip of her nose and a tiny amount on her forehead. On her brows I filled them in a just a little with Million Dollar Brows Brow Powder in Taupe. Her brows are amazing so I just put some of this in to give her brows some color. And on her lips I used MAC Nouvelle Vogue and Gerard Cosmetics 1995 lipstick. We didn't want to go to crazy on the lips because the eyes were so bold and daring.
