Smokey Black Liner

It has been a minute since I've had the time to sit down and be creative with make up and I loved how this turned out. A few years back, there would be no chance that I would leave the house without a pair of lashes and a sharp eyeliner. However, now, I much rather a touch of a natural eyeshadow and a lick of mascara - no eyeliner in sight. In fact, I think I threw all of my liquid liner away. A new woman!

This look was super simple to create, and consists of three eyeshadows and a bit of black eyeliner pencil smudged in my top and bottom water lines. I started with a soft, light brown shade from the Morphe 305M palette in my crease. Then I took a darker brown and blended this into the outside corner of my eye, bringing it up into the crease of my eye. I took the Zoeva Winged Liner Brush, dipped it into a black eyeshadow from the Anastasia Self Made Palette (an oldie but such a goodie), and drew in a winged liner. I then took a pencil brush and filled in the wing with more of the same black eyeshadow until I was happy with how it looked, and just kept smudging and blending until the whole look came together.

These are my favourite pair of lashes ever - the Red Cherry Harley in the style #213. They're so natural, yet so full at the same time. I couldn't recommend Red Cherry lashes any more.

What's your go to make up look at the moment?
