The 1 Minute Smoky Eye - Take 3

I thought I should dedicate the last segment of the Smoky Eye series to my colour-shy readers and I know they exist in tonnes!  So here you go guys.

Don't be afraid when you hear the word 'Smoky' because it does not always have to mean blackened eyes. It depends on how you interpret the word really. I think it originated from the texture that smoke usually creates, the grey-ish cloudy hue if you know what I mean. 

So you can apply it to any colours you're using, not just black. Just make sure that the look is 'smoked out' from the edges and has some element of silver, grey, blue or black to it. 

I decided to use my Living Nature Eye shadow Duo in Clouds for this natural smoked out look. I adore this palette as the colours in here are divine. It comes with a stunning shimmery pale silvery-blue and a silky matte charcoal colour. A perfect combination for a palette named 'Clouds'. 

The colours are easy to wear for those of you of are colour-shy as the shades are not offensive or in-your-face. Also, there is no obvious blue-silver hint in these shadows which makes them easy to wear during the day. 

Apply the pale silvery-blue colour all over the lids, keeping the colour below the crease. Apply the charcoal colour in the crease of the eye socket to give some definition. Simple! What this will give you is a perfectly wearable smoky eye.

These colours really brighten up any look as opposed to other blue-silver shadows that usually wash me out. They have such a Kim K feel to them! I swear she does not leave the house without such colours on her eyes.

I intensified the look just a tiny bit down here as that's how I would like to wear it during the day. I just extended a bit of that shimmery colour in the inner corners of the eyes, deepened the crease colour and added a white kohl pencil to the waterline. Oh yes, I like myself a bit of colour on the lower lash line too. 

Hope you girlies enjoyed the Smoky Eye series. If you have any suggestions for posts like these or any look request then let me know below.
