"Minutes to midnight" smokey eye


This is a dark smokey look, kind of inspired by the Alexandra Burke 'all night long' video. 

First off, I applied my urban decay primer potion all over my lid and up to my brow bone. 

Then, I used a flat eyeshadow brush to pack on the dark charcoal blue colour (the bottom one) from my beauty UK metallic eye quad - no. 2. I applied it all over my eye lid and to just above the crease. Using a small blending brush, I softened out the edges to create the smokey look. 

Next, I applied the silver/grey (2nd one down) colour from the same beauty UK quad. I used a small flat eyeshadow brush to sweep the colour from the inner corner of my eye to where the edge of my iris (coloured bit) finishes, using the same brush gently blend the colour in.

After that, I applied some Barry M dazzle dust in 9 (light silver colour) in my inner corner to brighten up my eyes. 

To highlight, I used the peachy cream colour from my frontcover winter 08/09 smoulder eyes palette under my brow bone. (I don't think you can get this palette any more, but any light shimmery colour will do)

Eyeliner next, I used my rimmel London exaggerate liquid eyeliner to line my lash line. (I need to get a new one because mine's running out, that's why its a bit thick and faded. Haha). Then I used my miss sporty eyeliner pencil in magic to tightline my waterlines.

Finally, I used two coats of my favourite ever mascara, max factor false lash effect in black.

I hope you like this look! Sorry about the bad photo and the state of my eyelashes (I was in a hurry haha).
