My smokey eye makeup look

Hello my darlings! So today is a dull day, its cold and raining outside, so that can only mean 1 thing! Hull Fair is here! For those who don't know what that is..its a huge fair that comes once a year in Hull, they have loads of rides and countless stalls where they sell all the traditional fair foods like brandy snap, toffee apples and delicious (but very fattening) burgers! So I decided to do this look for it and I thought it would also be great for my blog!

I do the same foundation routine that I did in my last blog.
This is the Estee Lauder eye shadow palette I used, I'm not too sure the exact name..but on the back it says 'Deluxe Eyeshadow Copact' 'Pure Color Eyeshadow' I couldn't find it on their website but they may have it in store if your interested in buying it yourself.

This is the colour I start off with, is called '38. Chocolate Bliss. Matte' I apply this on the outer corner of my eye with a standard flat eye makeup brush and blend it with a blending eye shadow brush, no brand name..just a standard one I bought in a shop. I blend it upwards just on the crease of my eye, and then I just keep adding the shadow and blend until I feel like its enough.

I then add this very dark brown (almost black) colour. It's called '45. Lavish Mink. Matte' By the way..I have only just today turned my palette around to find all the names of the eye shadows..I absolutely love the names they have given them..theres one called 'Sugar biscuit' it made me giggle slightly. I have no idea why.
I apply this colour just across where I put the colour before it, and just blend blend blend blend until I'm happy.

I apply this colour, '01. Sepia Sand. Satin', on the lid of my eye with my flat brush, I applied this a couple of times and then added the second one to the left of it, just to give it a bit more of a shine. That one is called '30. Sugar Cube. Satin'
I go back to the first eye shadow and apply it with an eyeliner brush just under my waterline, right up to my outer corner so it looks a little bit more smokey.
I then add my liquid eyeliner that I used in my last blog, on top of my eyelid. I do sometimes also do the cat flick with my liner with this look but today..I won't lie...I couldn't be bothered. But I think it looks great without it anyways but its just up to you if you fancy it. I then add some mascara on top and bottom, I also put a white eyeliner pencil on my waterline..I just feel like this can really make your eyes pop! I then put a highlighter on the inner corner of my eye, and added a nude lipgloss by Estee Lauder...I feel like I'm giving the impression I like Estee Lauder..yes..yes I do.

If you want to give it that extra smokey look, you can use a black pencil eyeliner on your waterline and under your eye..this really looks great for a night out!

 I love this look, so I decided to show it with how I looked just before I went to the fair.

And then my dog came and stole the show....

I really love this eye look. I use it quite frequently if I'm in the mood to make a bit of effort. I love it that much that I'm considering using it for my wedding day!
I hope you enjoyed this look, I would love to see some of you with this look!

S'laters!
