Smokey Eyeballs

I love to play with makeup.  Who doesn’t???  I got a new eyeshadow/blush palette from Stila the other day.  When my friend Ellen was in town a couple weeks ago I asked her what were her faves and Stila was one she had mentioned. 
I also love a great smokey eye.  I have had issues in the past getting the look just right.  In fact I still have issues…but whatever…..
So I’ll show you how I do it, and if you have any tips for me feel free to leave a comment!
1.  Bare eyes (I have no makeup on…so ugh….sorry about that)
2.  Put the darkest shade on the corner crease of your lid
3.  Here is the finished look with 3 colors blended in
4.  Eyes open…Usually I’ll put liner/mascara/and makeup on…but I was too lazy for these photos!
(You can see how it really makes your eyes POP even without liner or mascara on)
DOES IT LOOK LIKE THIS :
 NO
I think there is a fine line between going too dark though…I don’t want to look like I have a black eye!
TOOLS:
1.  Chanel #4 liner brush
2.  Chanel #12 contour brush
3.  Clinique true black cream eyeliner

Stila beach palet $14.00

And this has nothing to do with makeup, but everyone is obsessed with PINTEREST right now and I found this Nikon cake.  I LOVE IT!  Of course I am obsessed with my camera sooooo this makes me happy 🙂

  1. my friend just had her husbands camera made into a cake too. how funny. but im jealous you can do make up, im a concealer, bronzer, chap stick and on a fancy day mascara….

  2. Looks great! I love playing around with make up too.

    On Westin’s shirts I just used a regular thread that I already had. I just cut it reallllly long and looped it through the needle and then tied a knot at the end of the two ends so it was doubled up. Clear as mud? Haha

  3. So pretty! I love messing with makeup but hate when I get it perfect and have no place to show it off 🙂

    Love the pic of you and Connor..adorable!

  4. I’ve always wanted to give my eyes the smokey look but every time I end up looking like a drag queen…ha!! You did a great job…and I LOVE Stila products!!

    Hope you’re having a great weekend…love your Starbucks divas on the side…love that place:)
