Face It: Green Smokey Eyes

Even if I haven't determined my skin tone before;  I already love neutral and earthy colors. My love for yellow, green and brown become more intense when I determined that I fall on Warm toned. When I started to totally embrace my make-up addiction, it seemed that all things are falling into places when I also found out that my brown eyes suits colors i.e. copper, bronze, coffee, champagne, brown, beige, khaki green, royal blue, etc. that belongs to neutral & earthy colors. I was glad that my hard-earned money spent in make-ups aren't put to waste and that most of them are worth keeping for in my vanity table.

When Pantone revealed that the color of the year 2013 is Emerald, I was overjoyed. I went to my vanity table and checked my eye shadows. A grin was plastered on my face when I opened my single and palette eye shadows one by one. Oh yeah. May it be light or dark; I have enough greens. I really miss playing with my eye shadows so I took advantage of the chance as I was really in the mood to make edgy make-up.

How-To: Dramatic Bigger Eyes

I'm back again with a make-up tutorial. I just thought of this randomly. I supposed to make a tutorial of transforming your small eyes to bigger eyes using bright eye shadows but heck, I ended up playing with my dark eye shadows that it turned out dramatic. Lols!

Dramatic Bigger Eyes

I intentionally leave my other eye undone to see how big the difference it made.

To get us started, you just need a nude color and a very dark eye shadow.

Step #1. Prep your face.

I opted to apply my daily moisturizer (Myra-E with SPF 15). After the moisturizer is fully-absorb by the skin, I pumped a little amount of the BB Cream (Etude House in Refreshing) and I applied it onto face using my slanted foundation brush. I set my foundation with my favorite oil control powder (Palladium Rice Powder in Natural).

Step #2. Eyes - Base color

First, I apply my eye shadow base (NYX e/s base in Skintone) all over my lid and onto my lower lash line. Using my fluffy eye shadow brush, I applied a nude color (NYX single e/s in Highlight) all over my lid up to the brow bone.

Step #3. Eye lining

Using eye liner brush, I load a black matte eye shadow (Ever Bilena in Cleo) and lined my upper lash line. Starting a thick line from the outer going thinly inwards. I winged it a bit in the outer for a nice lift of the eyes.

Step #4. Crease

Using a bullet brush, I load it up with a dark brown eye shadow. I pointed the brush just below my brow bone or where your eye socket's higher depth, then I poked the brush in and I slowly glided the brush onto my eye socket moving inward and outward like a wiper. Take your eye blending brush and blend away the harsh edges. It will make a nice depth like you have a crease.

Step #5. Highlight

Using the fluffy eye shadow brush, I load it with white shimmering shadow (NYX  single e/s in White Pearl), and applied it in my middle eye lid, in the brow bone and in the inner corner of the eyes.

Step #6. Darken the shadow

(1) I load my bullet brush with black matte eye shadow (Ever Bilena in Cleo) and I darken my outer-V and the created crease earlier. Then, (2) using an eye liner brush, I also load it with the same black matte eye shadow starting thickly from the outer going inward up to inner 3rd only. 

Step #7. Finish the eyes

I lined my lower water line with a black eye pencil. I stroked a white eyeliner (ELF in white pearl) onto the inner corners of my eyes. For the eye brows, I used my IN2IT eye brow kit using my slanted eye brow brush.

Step #10. For the cheeks, I used my NYX Blush in Spice.

Step #11. For the lips, I used my NYX Megashine lip gloss in Beige.

This eye make-up is wearable in daytime, too. You just have to choose a not so dark shade like brown shade. I used black and darker brown in this tutorial to show the transformation of my bare eyes.

That's it. I hope you find my tutorial helpful.
