Darkly Bright Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial

by Jessica Harlow on September 16, 2011

Hello, gorgeous!

I’ve been very inspired to create some more colorful looks that are still sexy and wearable. So, I was playing around with some of the colors in this 120 Palette I got from BHCosmetics and came up with this darkly colorful smokey eye. I really liked how it turned out and think this would look great for a night out. From a distance it looks like a typical smokey eye but when you get up close you’re able to see all these pretty colors. I love looks like that! I hope you enjoy this tutorial!

xoxo Jess

I know you’re wearing that much foundation/powder/concealer because you’re hiding your acne. But don’t you ever feel too caky? I mean, too much coverage, so you can actually see it?
But yeah, y’know, as long as you’re comfortable with it.
Anyways, lovely look!

xoxo.

Hi Jess, Ive recently discovered your blogs and I find them very interestng and useful. Not to mention that you represent the standard women – not too skinny and short (just like myself). :-)
I’m from Australia and we don’t have BHCostmetics. In fact I’d never heard of them before your video. I was wondering what eyelash curler you use in this video? Julie.x
