Tutorial: Smokey Eye With Anastasia Beverly Hills Catwalk Palette

I cannot get enough of this palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills. All the colors are up my alley, it literally is my go-to palette at the moment. I've created everyday looks to dark smokey makeups such as this tutorial that I am sharing with all of you today.

I was looking through all of my tutorials and it seems like I haven't done a dark smokey one in awhile plus I haven't done a YouTube tutorial FOREVER! I do apologize for the lack of videos, but remember you can always follow me on Instagram. I guess the reason why I hate making videos is because I always get stuck on what to show you guys! BLAH! Plus I hate editing, it's more of a love/hate relationship.

Anyways, lets get back to to the look.

This is how the palette looks, the colors are pretty right?

Here is a close-up of my face with all the products that I used to create the look.

If you don't have a frosted white eye shadow in your makeup collection you need one! White instantly opens up the eyes. Take a look at my

Spring/Summer Trend look here

where I use white eye shadow on my lid.

If you would like a list of the products I used here ya go!

Did you see the cute VILLABEAUTIFFUL customized compact by Case Envy? I am so in love and I handle it with care when I use it. Ev, really took care of me and wanted to make sure I was happy with my compact. She went above and beyond to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. So pleased to have done business with her. She's amazing. To order yours please contact caseenvy@yahoo.com

I love anything Rose Gold so when I was sent these beautiful beautiful brushes from

LuxieLush

, I was in heaven!!! These are the brushes that I used to create this look in my video. You get 12 brushes for eyes and lips with the brush cylinder case - a full set to complete a full makeup look. The brushes are super soft and made very well. I always feel guilty using these brushes because they are just too pretty to use!

Just a quick post for today! Wanted to post this before I forgot. I've been working hard the past 2 weeks trying to get on a regular schedule with posting on the blog and creating/posting MOTD's on Instagram.

Today's look is a classic look with a twist.

First I used City Color Cosmetics Shadow Primer all over the eye up to the brow. I like to use my index finger to apply the primer because the warmth of my finger really helps blend the primer.

All the shadows are from City Color Cosmetics Green/Brown Multi-Shade Eye Shadow Palette. For the pop of color on the lower lash line and mixed the greens in the palette to smudge a soft drop shadow liner. Love these

Alter Ego Lashes

in Pin Up Girl - perfect lashes for this look don't you think? On my brows I have Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel Espresso and Brow Genius Kit in BrunetteThe blush is the 3rd color in the Intense Blush Quad. To complete the look is the matte lipstick in Red.

Who knew that teal and purple/brownish shade would look good together. I am using the Limited Edition Sleek Makeup Monaco Palette. Will update this post once I get some swatches together from this palette.

This tutorial is way overdue, I have been slacking tremendously but at least I have a new video camera to showcase my work. I wanted to focus on products that you would be able to find at your nearest drugstore (minus the Smashbox blush that I used). The main products for this smokey eye look are from L’Oreal . You probably have seen the ads and the commercials for these little pressed/loose (are they pressed or loose? Who knows?) eye shadow pots that come in a variety of colors. I have about 12 of the colors and I love them to pieces. The Midnight Blue is to die for and so is the Perpetual Purple. I will post the MOTD’S I created using these two colors. The color payoffs of each of the colors are so bold and the longevity of the wear is wonderful.

Back to the brown smokey eye… I received an email from one of my instagram/facebook follower, Brian. The picture was from Pretty Little Liars and it was a deep intense brown glittery smokey eye. I wanted to create more of a cat eye smokey eye to change it up a little and I did this with the help of scotch tape. Here’s a little tip before you apply the scotch tape right on your face. Make sure you get the tape tacky by placing it on the back of your hand and rubbing the top of it a little. This will prevent the tape from hurting your poor delicate eye area when you take it off later. Trust me I’ve done it and it doesn’t feel too great. OUCH!

Hope you enjoy the new quality of the video!!! Can’t wait to make more… if I don’t get into the lazy spell again.
