Smokey eye tutorial here finally!
OK I finally was able to get this dang thing posted, we switched internet providers on Monday and my family declined to share that with me until the day of so I couldn’t upload it on Monday like I promised, and then I was having a ton of trouble uploading it from my laptop but I finally got it figured out. I am really self conscious of how I talk and all the ridiculous expressions I keep making, I feel like I look ridiculous but hopefully you can just focus on the makeup part…let me know if you have any questions! I’ll post another one soon.

Nice! I like how you didn’t use a million different brushes like some do. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif

I didn’t even think about that, thanks! I like to keep it simple https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Really like the makeup tutorial, I use eyeshadow on my eyebrows too!

very cool…thanks! Any tips for smokey eyes on darker skin?

Thanks Audball! Yes I think it looks much more natural than pencil on me…
Veruca I would choose colors that are slightly darker than what I used to tweak it to your skin tone, or you could even do one light color and one dark one instead of a medium color and a dark one. Shimmery eye shadows tend to look good on darker skin tones as well but if you have any lines/wrinkles it could draw attention to them, not sure how old you are https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks Glitter! I played with it after watching the tutorial and it seemed to look much better than my previous attempts. Took me a LONG time but hopefully I’ll get faster with practice!
The blending was an important point for me…I don’t think I blend enough!!! That made it look so much nicer.
SO…now that I had to scrub all this off – and I do use eye make up remover – my eyes are a bit sore. What sort of eye make up remover do you recommend???

My favorite is the Urban Decay one but it’s expensive…however they have a 25% off friends and family until the 12th of this month so let me know if you want the code. The Sephora brand makeup remover works well for a mid priced product and my favorite drugstore remover would be L’Oreal, a lot of their products are comparable to higher end makeup. Yes blending is suuuuuuuuuuuuper important, it takes an okay eye makeup to a great one IMO.

That’s great! I saw your page and shimmery shadows always look really nice on African American ladies, maybe you could do some lighter bronze shades with a dark brown or black for the smokey effect?

yeah and I am a sun baby and I smoke…my grandmother is 94 and only has a few, my mom is 66 and has none yet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif …being black helps LOL

Yeah the darker your skin is, the less wrinkles you get…I’m half hispanic and my hispanic grandma is 70 and has amazing skin….so I hope I get the hispanic aging genes instead! I certainly got the butt and thighs!

Ugh I’m as white as they come, guess i’ll be expecting a lot of wrinkles lol!

Sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen!!!!!!!!! Even on cloudy days, even in the winter! Most foundations have an SPF but you should also put SPF on your neck and chest area, most women forget to put sunscreen there so those are the first spots that start to wrinkle.

Coconut oil!!! It is all I use to remove eye makeup any more and a little bit goes a long way. You can even use it as a moisturizer.
