Smokey Eyes For Fall!

With the lingering heat, it can be easy to forget that we are now in full-Fall swing! Which will soon mean cozy jackets, comfy boots, and of course, smokey eyes! I have always been a fan of this ultra-chic look; but have quickly learned that one person’s smokey eye palette may not work for another! That is exactly why I would like to share two beautifully different pallets with you!

Glo Minerals Smokey Eye Kit’s

Original – If you are seeking out a dramatically deep smokey eye look, then this quad might be more up your alley. It takes four essential shades that work together to give you a super sultry look; which I happen to love during the fall and winter months.

Metallic – This kit is for those seeking a less dramatic, but still noticeable smokey eye. It mixes a combination of metallic bronzes and browns to create a naturally deep look – which will no doubt draw attention to your eyes. Much like the Original, you get 5 beautiful shades that were created to compliment each other on your eye! This is a definite fall favorite for me!

Smokey Eye Tips

ALWAYS, always, always start with your eyes. By this I mean DO NOT do your face makeup/mascara/blush first. I use this rule whenever applying makeup, but it is especially important when doing a smokey eye, as the shadow might fall onto your cheeks.

ESSENTIALLY: You are going to use your colors in order from lightest to darkest.
Apply the lightest color in your palette as a base from your lash line to brow.
Next, you will select the second lightest color, applying it to the lid, stopping just beneath the brow bone.
Move on to your third color, using it on the outer 3/4 of the crease.
Finally, add definition by lining top and bottom lash lines using your darkest color. Smudge gently for a sexy, smoky look.
I recommend going lighter, or more natural, on the rest of your makeup when doing a smokey-eye look. This will help draw more attention to your eyes, and keep you from looking “overdone”.
