Spring Smokey Eye (tutorial)

 This light pink smokey eye has been my go-to look lately. I love the pop of color on the lid, and think that this is the perfect eye to start Spring. From having lunch with your girlfriends to going out for a sexy date night with that special someone, this look is sure to turn heads.

 
 
 
 
 Step 1: Prime your lids. Using your finger apply an eyeshadow primer to your lids this ensures that all of the shadows you use will stay put and not crease throughout the day/night. The primer that I used was the Tarte Clean-Slate 360 Creaseless eyeshadow primer.

 
  Step 2: Using a tapered blending brush take a shadow that is close to your skin color and blend this  into your crease. This shadow will act as a transition color which will help the darker shadows that you use blend evenly and easier.
 
 

Step 3: Using your finger apply a pink cream eyeshadow all over your lid. This shadow will act as a base for the eyeshadow that will be used in the next step.
 

 
 Step 4: With a flat shader brush apply a satin finish pink over the cream shadow that you applied in the previous step.

 
Step 5: With a blending brush blend a matte light brown shadow into your crease stopping at about mid eye.

 Step 6: Using a pencil brush take a matte dark brown and make a v-shape on the outer crease of your eye and blend into your crease stopping at about mid eye.
 
 

Step 7: Take a blending brush and the same matte dark brown used before and blend out any harsh lines created by the pencil brush.

 

Step 8: With a small shader brush take a shimmery pink, champagne shadow and place onto the inner corner of your eye to add an inner corner highlight.
 

 
 Step 9: Wing out your top liner with a liquid eyeliner and line both your top and bottom water lines with black pencil liner.Add mascara to your top and bottom lashes and your look is complete!
