Copper Smokey Eye Product list and How to!

As promised here is the how to and product list for the copper smokey eye I posted earlier! 

How to-

Eyes-

Front stop is always my Urban Decay eye shadow priming potion wherever I intend to put shadow! Definitely the best on the market! 

Black heart from the Naked 3 palette all over the lid with a flat shading brush to pack on the colour and then blend onto the crease with a blending brush. You could use a normal black eyeshadow if you want I just thought the specks of red in black heart would be a really nice base under the copper shadow! 

I then put coppering from Mac all over the lid over the black heart using my flat brush again on the clean side! Then using my blending brush and I picked up some more coppering, blended it into the crease and brought it higher than the darker colour! 

I also used black heart and coppering under the lower lash line to balance the look and smoke it out! 

Using half baked from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette I highlighted the inner corner of the eyes! Gold really made the copper pop! I used Booty call also from the Naked 2 palette under my brow bone. 

Next was Liner and I used Maybelline's Gel liner and an angled brush to create the dramatic liner and flick! I line my whole lid from the outside in and then go back to do the flick! When doing the flick I start from the outer corner of the lower lid and go towards my brow as far as I want to go I then go back and fill it in lining from the flick back in! Practice makes perfect trust me! 

I used Urban Decay 24/7 Perversion liner on my waterline to really smoke it out and Perversion Mascara for literally bigger blacker badder lashes! Love it!!! 

Lashes are Kiss Juicy Volume 02! I apply more mascara after I apply these to ensure the are with my natural lashes! 

Using my new Sleek Brow Wiz in Medium I filled my brows where needed! 

 

 

Face- 

Benefit Porefessional all over T-zone and cheeks! Apply it wherever you tend to get oily! 

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation in 5.0 and Inglot Face and Body bronzer in 95 mixed to give a dewy look! 

Catrice Camoflague cream in Beige over any blemishes etc and under eyes. Dab rather than rub! 

I then apply Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in Classic Beige to highlight under my eyes, down my nose and up onto my forehead, Cupid's bow and wherever you want to highlight! Blend this in with a medium sized concealer brush, beauty blender, or your fingers what ever your most comfortable with! 

I then set this with Mad Studio Fix power as I'm now done with cream and liquids! 

Next is contouring and I used my New Sleek contouring palette in Light! 

I used the brown to contour my cheekbones, temples and forehead using a small angled blush brush! I then highlighted the top of my cheekbones and down my nose with the middle highlighted powder, finally I applied some blush between the two to give it that natural flushed look! I used the same brush for all of it! This palette is gorgeous it has such a nice glow! 

Last but not least was my lips and I wanted to keep them neutral so I went for Shy Girl from Mac it's a lovely nude with a peach/coral tone to it! 

As always I want my makeup to last so I sprayed the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting spray all over my face and let it set! :)

Quick Smokey Eye Look

Last weekend I had an absolute ball at my cousins Hen Party in Killarney! We left at 12:30 and I had makeup and a few bits to do that morning so of course I left myself with very little time to get ready! Therefore I knew I had no time to be messing around trying different things! I went for what I knew was quick but also effective! 

I chose a brown smokey eye rather than black as it's not as harsh for daytime with my favorite soft pink lip! I do the black Smokey eye a little different so I will do a separate post for this! 

Eyes-

Catrice Prime and Fine smoothing refiner on lids as Eye Primer. Only a tiny amount is needed or it will cause the shadow to go oily, crease and spread! 

All eyeshadow are from my Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette and used the double ended brush with the set! 

Lids- Radar all over the lid. 

Crease and outer corners- Smokeout blended with the radar. 

Under brows - Dope 

Corner of eyes- Strike 

Maybelline Gel liner in intense black to line the top lid and create a small flick. There's a really nice little brush with this! Not bad for twelve euro! ;) 

Rimmel Soft Kohl in Black on water line and under. I then go over this with my gel liner to make it that but more striking. 

I then put on my Catrice False lashes mascara which I love and is less than 5euro! 

I've been using the 2euro double trouble lashes from Penneys lately and love them on! If you find it difficult to put on lashes then these aren't the lashes for you unfortunately as they are quite rubbery try the kiss ones instead they are still quite cheap at 3.50 and are so nice! 

When I finish my face I normally go back in and go over anything on my eyes that needs fixing and go over my liner and mascara! 

Eyebrows- Catrice Eyebrow Pencil. 

Face- 

Primer- Inglot Pre-Makeup Base. 

Foundation- Inglot YSM 52+49 mixed. 

Concealer- Catrice Camoflague Cream on blemishes and under eyes. 

Powder- Mac Studio Fix all over the face to set foundation and concealer. 

Cream highlighter- Rimmel Perfection Concealer. 

I put some on in a triangle under my eyes from inside corner down to the bottom of my nose and back across to the outer corner of my eye. When blotting this I drag past my eye to my hairline to highlight the top of my cheekbone! I like to use my fingers for this rather than a brush but a beauty blender is really good too!  

I then put a small bit on my Cupid's bow (above top lip), Chin, under contour line, on centre of my nose up the bridge and onto my forehead into a fan and blot it in. I then use the highlighter from my Urban Decay Flushed Palette to further highlight the top of my cheekbones. I don't like to out shimmer anywhere else on my face as I have an oily t-zone and have shine naturally. 

I then dab my Mac Studio Fix lightly over the cream concealer to set it. 

Coutour- 

Kardashian Beauty Bronzer in Cabana. I use the darkest shade of the three to coutour under my cheekbone from the opening of my ear to the corner of my mouth. On my temples and sides of my nose.

Blush- 

No7 Candy Pink from the outer apples of my cheeks to my hairline. This brings the highlighting and contouring together and gives the cheeks that full look. 

Lips- 

Catrice Precision Lip liner in Nude. 

Kardashian Beauty Summer Honey Lipgloss. 

And we're done!! I know it looks like a lot but this took 15mins tops. I love a brown smokey eye! :) 

Hope you enjoyed beauties! 

Talk soon!
