Yesterday I posted my first application of My Smokey Classics, what I would call a normal, smokey look.
Today I wanted to go dramatic. I intentionally applied it as dark as I felt I wanted for a daytime look. Plus it’s fall, and I should be able to carry off more smokiness. I believe it would go even darker. You can see from the picture far below that it doesn’t look this dark full face, but it is dark!
You can buy this set at Sephora for $37.
Here is Lauren Luke applying My Smokey Classics:
There is an annoying ad at the beginning, sorry!
The kit includes:
- 2 blendable primers – Nude Slip Dark & Nude Slip Light [the same shades in each kit]
- 3 flattering eye shadows – Antique Pewter, Twilight Ash & Cashmere Cream
- 1 defining eyeliner – Raven Black
- 1 contouring blush – Peach Glow
- 2 luscious lip shades – Plumberry & Cranberry Stain
- 1 My Glossy Lips lip gloss in Sheer [the same with each kit -- I like it a lot; one is now in my purse.]
Here’s my look today:
I had a lot of fun on Halloween. I went as a Flower Child/Hippie, but didn’t take any pictures. I basically copied the look of the video demonstration of Smokey Eyes with Cat Marnell. Surprisingly, I liked it on me, and didn’t feel it was way too over the top! For that look, because this palette had not arrived yet, I used a very dark Chanel shadow. I liked the look so well that I’m sure I will duplicate it more.
Today I modified the look, softening it a tad. I could have gone deeper with liner, but wanted to show that it could be toned down a bit. And I wanted to use only the items from this palette.
Technique
Primer: I blended the two shades together, and the color exactly matched my eyelids. I have tried each color alone at other times. Then BE Queen Phyllis to lay a foundation.
Lids: Antique Pewter – this is a gorgeous brown — heavily to ensure that Twilight Ash went on smoothly and to soften the look a bit for daytime
Whole lid and dry lined lower: Twilight Ash, this is sparkly and very black, similar to a MAC that I have, but very nice to have all in one place for this look
Crease: Antique Pewter, in the manner Cat used bronzer, and also a bit of Cashmere Cream (it’s a powder) under the brow and to soften the top edge
Tightlined: Black liner from palette.
Do you have this palette?
How do you like to wear it? Do you have a favorite of Lauren’s?
