Hello beauties!
Yesterday I had to attend a social event and I decided to wear a black smokey eye makeup look but I wanted something that can be done very easy since my right hand is still healing and I can’t afford to play with many colors. For this look I used only three colors: a black gel eyeliner pencil from Avon which I used as a black base and applied all over the lid and then blended into the crease with my MAC 217 brush. To set the color I applied a black eyeshadow with subtle shimmer from Essence but you can use any black eyeshadow you want with matte, glitter or satin finish. Into the crease for blending I used the darkest shade from Make Up Factory Eyeshadow Palette #12. Under the brow bone I used Jordana Eyeshadow in #05 Creamy Vanilla which is a matte shade matching my skin tone very similar with MAC Vanilla.
I usually don’t wear this type of eye makeup because I’m more attracted toward nude and pink shades but a change it’s good sometimes. I’m still wearing this makeup now when I’m writing this post and it still looks great, without any fading and creasing. 🙂

Love! How is the Essence texture & performance? This color is so nice & I know they are super inexpensive. I don’t do too well with browns this would be great for everyday. 😀
I love the smokey eye sets from Essence. I have them in brown and blue and each set contains one gel eyeliner and one shimmery eyeshadow like the one I used here. I had no fall out, they have a good color payoff and they don’t crease…what else can you wish for at such a good price. 🙂
Nice! Thank you! 😀
You look so pretty and sultry, this look really suits you!
Amazing! I don’t have any words to say but really superb look!
Thank you Alana, I’m glad you enjoyed this look. 🙂
