GOLDEN SMOKEY EYES STEP BY STEP...

If you are darker-skinned and don’t know how to make yourself up, this week’s bulletin will teach you step by step how to achieve a flattering and fashionable look. 

When we have darker skin, not all makeup flatters us. We have to be careful not to overload our faces with makeup because that looks unnatural.  We’ll show you the steps to follow to look radiant, and to make yourself up with one of the most fashionable techniques this season:

Foundation

• Don’t overuse corrector and foundation. Remember that your kind of skin only needs foundation and corrector in certain areas.

• If you use a tanning powder, blend it well and don’t overuse it or the result will look unnatural.

Smokey eyes step by step

Once you are totally made up, it’s time to make up the eyes.  To do that you will need these products:

• A medium or dark golden shadow
• A cream pearly shadow (very light)
• A black eye pencil      
• Black mascara
• An eye shadow brush

Follow these steps:

1. Apply the golden shadow on the entire mobile eyelid just as you see in the drawing:

  2. Increase the intensity of the color as much as you wish, applying the golden shadow on the mobile eyelid.  It’s very important that you make up just up to the bone area and not beyond:

3. The next step is to make up the eye on the inside of the lids with a black pencil to give more intensity to the look.

4. Finally, apply the gold tone under the lower lid and blend.  Then give a touch of color on the fixed eyelid with the pearly shadow.

Cheeks

• Give a light touch of rose blush to your cheeks.  When you have darker skin, it’s very flattering.

Lips

• You can make up the lips in a gold tone to create harmony with the eyes, or if you prefer just use a transparent gloss.
