Inspired by Kristen Stewart - Smokey Eyes

Hiya Everyone

Ok I admit it - I am a Twihard.

I adore the Twilight books, and I enjoy the films, but you don't have to be a fan to admire Kristen Stewart.  

I think she's beautiful, she has her own unique style, she doesn't care about following others, she's her own person (and I love the fact she wears her Converse to film premiers!)

Her make-up is always fantastic, very smokey and smudgy, so I thought I would do my version of her makeup inspired by her look at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards

It's such a beautiful look, so here's what I used for my version:

• Urban Decay NAKED palate in NAKED,BUCK and CREEP
• MAC Tartan Tale Dashing Lassie Eye Shadows in A DASHING LASSIE and MAGICAL MIST
• MAC Eyeshadow in BRONZE
• MAC Zoom Fast Mascara in BLACK
• RIMMEL Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in BLACK 
• RIMMEL Soft Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in STORMY GREY
• Eylure Katy Perry Eyelashes in Oh Honey!
• Duo Eyelash Adhesive Glue

• MAC 219 Pencil Brush
• MAC 231 Small Shader Brush
• MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush
• MAC 275 Medium Angled Shading Brush

Note: I'm aware the Dashing Lassie palate was Limited Edition, however, any silver grey and white shades will do :)

Lets begin!

Step One

 Using a 275 brush I applied the NAKED shade all over my eye for a nice base colour

Step Two

Using the 219 brush, I mixed the white and grey shades and applied in the middle of my eyelid

Step Three

Using the 219 brush I applied CREEP in the outer corner of my eye, blending to mix with the other shades slightly

Step Four

Apply BUCK in the inner corner of your eye with the 231 brush, and across the crease of your eyelid, apply a little more in the outer corner and spread outwards slightly.  Don't worry about it being messy, as you'll be blending it all in

Step Five

Blend Blend Blend!

Step Six

 Use the gel eyeliner and fill in over the CREEP shade, to add more depth, then use your 231 shader brush to smudge the eyeliner and blend it more

Step Seven

Using the gel eyeliner, apply a very very thin line from the inner corner, right to your outer corner

Step Eight

Apply your grey eyeliner to the waterline of your eye

Step Nine

Use the flat side of a 231 brush and apply BUCK under your eyelid, and join with your outer corner

Step Ten

This look doesn't have really mega full lashes, but I couldn't find any half lash sets that I liked, so I've used Katy Perry Eyelashes and cut them about 3/4 the way across, I used my eyelash applicator and Duo glue 

Step Eleven

 I used MAC Zoom Mascara to blend the false eyelashes into my own, then used my shader brush to apply the bronze eyeshadow over the BUCK colour.

Blend everything together, and here's the final result:

Purple Smokey Eyes

Hello there!

Thought I'd post one of my favourite looks - the purple smokey eye!

Use any equivalent you like to mine, but I used:

• Hed Kandi Lash in Twisted Disco
• *The eyelashes come with a glue but I prefer to use Duo Eyelash Adhesive Glue in Clear
• L'Oreal Studio Secrets Green Eyes Intensifier 370
• L'Oreal Color Infallible in Purple Obsession 05
• Sleek eyeliner in Imperial Purple 266
• L'Oreal studio secrets eyeliner for green eyes in purple (any purple eyeliner will do!) 

Brushes -Mac 275 Angled Shading Brush, Mac 231 Small Shader Brush, Mac 224 Tapered Blending Brush

Step One

Using your 275 or equivalent, take your smokey grey colour and apply to your eyelid

 Step Two

Using your 224 brush, apply the purple colour 3/4 across your eye, leaving the inner corner

Step Three

Using your 231 brush, apply some purple under your eyelids for a smokey effect

Step Four

Cut your eyelashes to fit your eyes, apply the glue to the eyelashes, and leave for a few minutes until it becomes tacky, then, using an eyelash applicator or tweezers, apply to your eyes, and set in place. Add any mascara if needed

Step Five

When the glue has turned clear, use your purple eyeliner and line the lids of your eyes, corner to corner

Step Six

Apply your purple eyeliner on the inside lid of your eye

The final look......
