Uber simple Rock chic/ Smokey eye

I love this look sooo much, just because its super easy to achieve and wearable for many skin types :) I haven't given any specific products throughout this tutorial because I like to think that as long as you girlies have a black shadow, grey shadow and silver/white shadow, plus mascara and eye liner then your good to go! :D If any of you lovelys do have any questions about products though, just drop me a message :)   


Step 1- To begin the look make sure you girlies have done the basics, such as filled in your brow (if you like to do that) and applied a base to your eyelid as it ensures the shadow stays on your eye much longer, which is great for the all night parties you can attend with this look! ;) 


Step 2- Take your black shadow and apply to the outer area of the eye, try to create a slight upturn at the edge (as shown above) to help emphasise the look, this is done by lightly shading the shadow up towards the brow bone until your happy with the results. Remember lovelys, its a lot easier to add make up that to remove it!  Also blend the black shadow along the crease of you eye to create depth and a sexualll shape :) Using the same colour line underneath the lower lash to about the halfway. None of this has to be uber neat so dont worry, after all, this is the rock chic look! :)


Step 3- Next take your grey shadow and blend into the black, both on the upper and lower eye. The key here girlies (or guys) is to blend blend blend! You don't have to be amazingly precise or neat either (which I find is the beauty of this look) if you think you look hot, then you do!


Step 4- This is the last use of shadow for this look, take the white/silver shadow and blend into the inner corner of your eye and also around the tear duct. As before do the same on both the upper and lower eye. This ensures that along with a sexy smokey look, you babes also have big, fresh looking eyes :)


Step 4- Take a black eyeliner (any that blends easily is good) and apply to your waterline and just above the upper lashes, this creates the illusion of thicker, sexier lashes. Also you can use either a highlighter or a tiny bit of the white/silver shadow to apply just below your brow, this makes the brows appear higher and therefore your eyes stand out so so much :)


Step 5- Apply your favourite mascara and your done! The beauty of this look is you lovelys can adapt it any way you want, whether you want to use more black for a darker finish to a hint of colour in the mid eye (purple would rock!) to add a glam edge. Rock this look how you like it! 

I really hope you enjoyed reading this (super easy!) Rock chic/smokey eye tutorial :) Tell me what you think! Please drop me a message, follow this blog and tell your friendies :)
Much love :D
