Hi again, everyone! Today I thought I’d do a basic smokey eyes tutorial using brown eyeshadow.

There are so many ways of approaching smokey eyes but here is my method. Also a reminder that my SUQQU Himesango giveaway will be running until the 24th of July, so get in quick!

Let’s start with the tutorial, shall we?

Step 1:
Prime Lid. Using a black pencil liner, liner the upper lash line (this does not have to be neat). Also, line your upper waterline. I used RBR Salome Kohl.

Step 2:
Take a blending brush (I used MAC 217) and a brown cream base and blend onto the lid and lightly into the crease.

Step 3:
Take a shimmery brown eyeshadow (I used Yaby Chocolate Smoothie) and pat onto the lid. I also highlighted my brow bone here using MAC Vanilla.

Step 4:
Using a smudge brush, rub the brown cream base along the lower lashline and pat your shimmery brown shadow over. I also lined my lower waterline here with MAC Teddy.

Step 5:
Highlight your inner corner (I used Chanel Perlees palette), apply false lashes if you please (I used a few Ardell short individuals) and apply mascara (Lancome Hypnose). Anddd you’re done!

Here is the final smokey eyes look- I used a light dusting of MAC MSFN on the skin and By Terry Rouge in 304 on lips.

Do you have any suggestions as to other eye tutorials you would like to see? Write to me on the Shameless Fripperies Facebook page. I’m all ears!
