Voice-less Smokey Eye Tutorial

Hello there! 
Right now my voice is practically gone and I now that I owe you a review of the Color Elation eyeshadows, so here it is, a tutorial using the Leopard Collection.

This is a quick picture of the collection...
Colors (L-R, T-B): Nocturnal, Seregueti, Ginger, Purr 
So, let's start the tutorial!



I applied my primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance) and a random dark brown cream eyeshadow (something similar to NYXs jumbo pencils would be great!) and blended it with a brush until just a little bit above the crease.



With the help of my MAC 217 brush, I applied the color Purr, building up the intensity on the lid and blending it in the crease. After that I applied a little bit of the color Serengueti to help the blending process.


I applied the color Noctural over the lid and blending the edges! REMEMBER! You still want Serengeti and Purr to show in your crease! 



Line your eyes with your favorite jet black liquid liner (I used L'oreal Lineur intense in Carbon Black) and apply your face makeup.


Smudge Purr, Serengeti and Nocturnal in your lower lid and apply some false lashes if desired.

Add a nude lip color.



I now this is super quick, but I'm kind of in a hurry ): I might type a bit more this weekend...

I LOVE YOU GUYS! 


PS: Color Elation, I know I owe you a HUGE apology.. I'm so sorry this has been taking me so long! I am very grateful! THANK YOU!!! 


I'LL REVIEW THIS IN MY NEXT POST!
