Makeup Look: Black Smokey Eyes With Fuchsia Lips
Hi Everyone,
Hope you are wholeheartedly enjoying this festive season. When I say the word festival the first thing that comes to my mind is dancing diya lights amidst a full moon night. And the second thing is traditional Indian outfit with rich gold work, and obviously Indian outfits are never complete without makeup. :clap: To enhance my makeup expertise for the upcoming festivals I have tried a different makeup look this weekend. It was a long weekend, I was sitting at home doing nothing and then I realized that I should make some productive use of this time. It was not only a productive use of time but also of my makeup products that are just resting in the chest drawers. I do not wear bold makeup to office so many of my products reach their expiry date even before I use them a couple of times. In my opinion nothing else can make optimum use of these products than discovering new looks.
Nevertheless, while I was watching ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dhulyania’ this weekend I got dazzled by Alia Bhatt’s makeup look that she sported at her friend Gurpreet’s wedding. She wore black Smokey eyes with bright pink lips. I completely adore that look; I have seen it before many a times but never thought that I could carry such a look. But this weekend I mustered all my courage to adhere to my resolve of doing something fruitful and here is my version of ‘black smokey eyes with fuchsia lips’. I know all the makeup experts recommend creating a balanced look but I wanted to play with colors keeping aside all the rules.
Things I used to create this Black Smokey look :
1) Foundation: L’Oreal infallible foundation in sable sand shade. In order to get high coverage for an immaculate canvas I have taken a little more product than what I use regularly.
2) Concealer:Smokey eyes look magnificent when you have a neat under eye area. So I would recommend using a high coverage concealer when you are done with entire eye makeup in order to get rid of the eye shadow fall out and dark circles.
3) Eye shadow palette: Revlon High Intensity eye shadow pallete. I have used the matte black eye shadow to create the surreal black effect of Smokey eyes.
4) Mascara: Maybelline falsies mascara again. I am using it a lot these days, looks like I will soon have to get another tube ;-)
5) Kohl: Lotus Natural Kajal Before applying eye shadow I slathered this kohl on eyelids, doing so increases the pigmentation and make the eye makeup last long.
6) Blush: As I already have bold eyes and lips so I wanted to keep my cheek area in a bare minimum makeup look. To create the bare effect, a light pink blush or an earthy shade would do the job. I have used Loreal true match blush in true rose shade for this look.
7) Lip Liner I wanted to precisely define my lips so before using the lipstick I outlined them with Revlon Lip Liner Pencil in Plumwine shade.
8) Lipstick: . Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in 030 Fuchsia shade.This is one of my favorite pink shades. :dancydancy:
Do let me know your take on this look. I would love to know your version of Black Smokey eyes.
