MOTD Wedding Makeup Soft Smokey Eye

motdsoftsmokeyeye

This was look was inspired by one of my upcoming brides.  I love the shimmer but yet soft smokey look that brings definition to the eyes for a bride. I always think of bridal makeup as the more glamorous you - pretty, romantic and still you.  This is what I love to do - working with the bride to make her feel beautiful and most importantly enjoy her special day.  Last year I was a bride and it was just a magical time to finally be the bride and not the makeup artist (but I did do my own makeup, more about that later).

Here's the list of products to achieve this look (please leave a comment below if you would like to see  a tutorial on this).

  • Colourpop Super Shock Shadow I (Heart) This to create more shimmery to the lid and inner corner
  • Get Lucky Super Shock Shadow smudged on the bottom inner half of the eye
