Step 1: Apply Benefit's Stay Don't Stray eye shadow primer all over your lid. This makes your eye makeup stay all day without flaking all over your face (especially if this look includes sparkly eyeshadow).
Step 2: Apply the shade Virgin from the Naked palette on the inner corner of your eye to make your eye color pop.
Step 3: Apply shade Naked from the Naked palette all over lid. It is a natural color but still gives it a matte finish.
Step 4: From middle to outer lid, apply the shade Sidecar to give it a little bit of a shimmery look so it doesn't look painted on. This is always one of my steps in every makeup look that I wear.
Step 5: On the outer lid apply the shade Buff and in the crease apply the the shades either Smog or Dark Horse. Smog will give you a lighter smokey eye while Dark Horse makes this smokey eye less dramatic and more natural.
Step 6: For eyeliner, I use the Nars Precision Pen. Make a small cat eye line and fill it in as thick as you want. Depending on my look for that day, a thinner line makes it look more natural. A thicker line makes it more dramatic but can also make your eyes pop more.
Step 7: I use L'Oreal Voluminous mascara. This mascara is such a must-have. Even a ton of the makeup gurus on youtube use this mascara and swear by it. Make sure to shake the mascara wand back and forth at the root of your lashes to make them look longer and more voluminous (its's a trick that is similar to teasing your hair).
Step 8: Go show everyone how fabulous you look. Let me know what they say.
Xoxo Steph
