I’m naturally a busy bee so when I am looking to create fierce looking eye makeup – I not only have to do it quickly, but it needs to be pretty easy as well. Over the years I have found that a soft brown smoky eye or even a purple or burgundy hued one is my best play on eye looks to bring out my brown eyes, but lately I’ve been digging adding grey hues to the mix and found that this look could definitely be a showstopper. Today I bring to you a Smoldering Smoky, Easy Smoky Eye featuring the Kat Von D Shade & Light Eye Palette. It’s my first true makeup look using this particular palette so I hope you enjoy.
I began this look by applying my Milani Eye Shadow primer all over the lid and onto the lower lash line. Then taking my Kat Von D Shade & Light Eye Palette – I swept Laetus all over the lid. Samael was then applied as my transition shade and blended towards my browbone to blend the highlight shade and transition effortlessly. Saleos was applied onto my lid with patting motions and a domed eye shadow brush followed with Solas which was applied on the top of Saleos to soften the shade. Then I applied Solas into my crease and added Succubus to give the look a more blended and darker effect.
Using the Milani Kohl Kajal liner, I lined my upper and lower lash line and waterline. Then used the deep shades from the Kat Von D palette to smoke out and smudge the liner to create a softer look. I then used Latinus to highlight my browbone and applied Mary Kay Lash Love Lengthening mascara and Ardell Demi Whispies lashes.
To add light definition and contour to my face, I used my NYX Matte Bronzer in Deep and added warmth to my face. I am using Milani Rose Powder Blush in Warm Petals to add a little warmth and color to my face and finished with Becca Shimmering Face Perfector in Champagne Pop for highlight. For my lips I am using ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Trap with a little of Tulle topped to give a little different hue.
Have a wonderful day!

Gorgeous look! Those dark shades really do make your brown eyes pop. Fabulous fierce look. The Kat Von D palette looks so wonderful. If it didn’t seem somewhat close to my Viseart Neutral Matte Palette, it would be on my list. Love the look of it.
Fabulous smokey eyes. Dahling. Dark shadow makes your eyes look even deeper and more mysterious.

I love gray, but rarely use it on my eyes. I love this look and think I might have to try re-creating it. Love those lip shades together as well!
