Valentine Beauty tip! Sexy Smokey Eye for a night out! ;)

HOW TO CREATE THE PERFECT SEXY SMOKEY EYE FOR VALENTINES DAY!




















EYESHADOW


For this look you will need 3 different shades of eye shadow. For this particular lovely lady(my mother) I have used shades that compliment her skin tone and eye color.
1-Contour(Darker color)
2-Midtone
3-Highlight

For these pictures I used:
1-MAC eye shadow in Antiqued
2-MAC eye shadow in Amber Lights
3-Mary Kay eye shadow in Crystalline
Note: Don't be afraid to try this look in shades such as: eggplant, purple, burgundy, forest green, black, silver, or any brown tones.














Brushes
Top Brush has two ends...The smaller end can be used to press color as a liner. The fuller end is used to apply shadow.
Bottom Brush is great for blending/applying shadows.























STEP 1:
Sweep a dark-hued contour eye shadow(#1) across the lid.























STEP 2:
Apply the same shadow as step 1 just under the lower lashes.













STEP 3:
Apply a midtone shade(#2) in the crease.























STEP 4:
Use a light highlight shade under the brow and on the inside corners of the eyes.

























Step 5:
To finish off this look apply black mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

FINISHED! Its that easy ladies! Remember that if you want to deepen this look even more, choose darker shades or smudge eyeliner into the lash line. Now, give it a try and let me know how it goes! With this great look you are sure to WOW your date or maybe even just WOW yourself!
Special thanks to my beautiful mother for modeling :)
