Blackout

When everybody is doing pretty, perfect make-ups, presenting amazing techniques and skills of the make-up artist, I just miss a black smokey eye, a bit messy, grungy. I don’t know what can be easier then that … You actually have 2 steps for the whole look. First, a brownish eye shadow in the crease of the eye and on the lower lid, as a transition shade between the black eye shadow and skin. I used a fluffy brush to apply a thin layer, in circular motion. The second step is applying the matte black eye shadow on the mobile and lower lid, and a black eyeliner on the water line. That’s it!

I just applied foundation on the rest of my face, because as I said, I wanted a messy grunge look.

At the end of the photo shoot, for the sake of photography, I added clear lip gloss, for a wet effect.

Used products:

Skin: Effaclar K face cream from La Roche-Posay and Air Mat foundation from Bourjois

Eyes: Buk eye shadows from the Naked Palette and Blackout from the Naked Palette 2 from Urban Decay, Lash Sensational mascara from Maybelline and Scandaleyes black eyeliner from Rimmel.

RO:

Cand toata lumea prezinta machiaje frumoase, dragute, perfect executate, prezentand tehnici deosebite si maiestria celei sau celui care le-a realizat, mi se face dor de un black smokey eye, asa mai nefinisat, cu un aer grunge. Nu stiu ce poate fi mai simplu de atat … Practic sunt doua etape. Am aplicat un fard maroniu deasupra, si in pliul pleoapei si pe pleoapa inferioara, ca si culoare de tranzitie intre negru si piele. Am folosit o pensula pufoasa pentru a aplica un strat fin, in miscari circulare, pentru a distribui uniform fardul. A doua etapa o constituie aplicarea fardului negru mat pe pleoapa mobila si pe pleoapa inferioara, si un creion negru pe linia apei. Si esti gata!

Pe restul fetei, in afara de fond de ten, eu nu am mai aplicat nimic pentru ca, dupa cum spuneam, mi-am dorit un look grunge nefinisat.

La final, asa de dragul fotografiei, am adaugat pe pleoapa un luciu de buze transparent, pentru un efect umed.
