New Obsession Du Jour: Navy Eyes 4.1.10

I can NOT believe it is April. Time is FLYING by when you are obsessing over makeup. Sad but true.

Anyway, I have a new obsession, as you all know I get infatuated with things from time to time, such as coral lips, pink cheeks, nude lips etc. Right now, my new thing is NAVY smokey eyes. I saw a few amazing photos and realized I need to adopt this sexy smudgy look asap. The navy keeps it from being too goth.


With that being said, I right away ordered the MAC navy greasepaint stick (along with some, okay fine, a lot of other things!) What other tools are a must have for my journey along the navy trail? I am thinking Urban Decay 24/7 in Binge or Make Up forever in 3L. I am going to head to sephora during lunch to test those bad boys OUT!





So I was inspired this morning to try this look out and this is what I came up with. Super simple and easy.



How to get this eye look:

1. Start with a smudgy eyeliner, I used MAC Stylin Pearlglide. I would have liked this to look more blue, but oh well!
2. Start lining all around your eye, top and bottom.
3. Smudge out with a Pencil brush, finger, q-tip whatever.
4. Make sure to blend all over eyelid, stopping just short of the crease.
5. I topped the eyelid with Contrast by Mac, just the eyelid, dont go into crease.
6. Re-line top and bottom lashes and line the water line.
7. Top off with Mascara, I used Lancome Hypnose.

Voila!
