Brown Smokey Eye.... quick and easy

Hiya, so seeing as this is my first blog, I said i'd take baby steps and start off with something simple. This is my routine pretty much every morning. It's quick and easy because I am not a morning person and the snooze button gets pressed at least five times.  For more photos  Click here to see my makeup Facebook page.  Hopefully with a bit more practise these will get better.

Smokey Eye for everyday. 

For this look I use (I'll post as many photos of the products I use but anything similar will do fine)

• Black gel liner 
• A matte bronzer 
• Mascara 
• A MAC 217  brush 
• A MAC 219 brush 
• Any gel liner brush

MAC 217 (Blending brush)

After my usual foundation routine, I begin by blending the matte bronzer in small circular motions along the crease of my eye. This is to define the crease of the eye and make it appear deeper than what it is. 

Gel Liner

Next I dip my eye liner brush in the gel eye liner and begin lining my upper lid, keeping it quite close to the lashes. Im not a fan of a majorly winged eye liner for everyday either but each to they're own. Bring out the liner to the outer corner to whatever you're used to. 

For the lower lash line, line 3/4 of the way from the outer corner. 

Now take the 219 brush and blend the bronzer over the gel liner. This will soften the look and stop the liner from smudging. Do the same on the lower lashes but blend it down so it is just under the lashes. No need to go buying new products but MAC have an eye shadow in the colour "Texture" which works really well here.

Apply a few coats of mascara and you're good to go. Ta Dah!!

MAC 219 

You can always take this look further adding false lashes, heavily lining the waterline, applying some sparkle to the lid. Possibilities are endless but if you just want a 5min natural look for everyday...this is what I do. Hope you like it. 

KEY TIPS

• You want the look to be soft so blend, blend, blend
• Let the lashes be the main focus to really define the eyes. Lash on the mascara. 
• On the outer corners of the top lid, blend in a sideways "V"
