I’m alerting you now — only wear this makeup when you want to feel like a overall bad-@ss capable of capturing, as well as then breaking, all of the hearts in a space within the span of 5 minutes.

This appeal friend motion picture pairs two strong focal points together — a untidy reddish brown smoky eye as well as a crisp blackened red matte lip — to produce a jammin’ juxtaposition of grungy as well as glam, as well as you understand I’m all about the contrasts in makeup.

To keep the general look approachable as well as well out of Insta-glam territory, I paired the eyes as well as lips with moderately matte skin (there’s a semblance of a sheen), casual, untidy brows as well as a warm bronzed mauve cheek.

Are you prepared to rock?

Something to blend your foundation (BeautyBlender)

1. deal with (primer) first

Because the smoky eye is a focus of this look, as well as we want to do it well, if we begin with the eyes before we surface the skin, it’ll be much easier to clean up any type of after effects without spoiling our foundation…but since the deal with primer needs time to dry, we’ll begin keeping that first.

Choose a deal with primer with a pearly sheen (for peekaboo shimmer that’s just barely visible underneath the liquid matte foundation you’ll be layering on top), as well as apply everything over your face.

2. develop that (casual) brow!

OK, now, fill in your brows with gel.

So we’re making two huge statements with this look. One is the blackened red matte lip, as well as the smoky reddish brown eyes are the other, so bushy, casual-ish brows balance well keeping that IMO.

3. Line your upper as well as lower lash as well as water lines

Use your reddish brown eyeliner for this, as well as it’s 100% absolutely okay if it’s untidy since you’re just going to smudge the heck out of it in a minute anyway.

4. Take a smudge clean to it

Smudge your lower lash line with a smudge brush, as well as I like to do this early when I’m doing a smoky eye since the corner of where that lower lash liner ends up dictates exactly how far I’ll be taking out the eye makeup (see step 5).

5. So sketchy

Sketch the shape of the smoky eye on your upper lid utilizing your warm reddish brown eyeliner, as well as the precise shape you select is as much as you. Whatever feels right.

I have a semi-hooded lid situation, so I normally (but not always) draw a half moon shape on my lids, as well as when I get to the outer corner, I utilize the liner I used on my lower lash line in the previous step as my guide.

Basically, when I’m mapping out the shape of the smoky eye on my upper lid, I look at the end of that lower lash line, as well as I link it to the corner of the half moon on my upper lid, thereby wrapping the smokey impact around the entire eye for a halo of cohesive color.

Lol. I don’t understand why, however I just made myself laugh there.

6. blend the edges of the liner on your upper lid

Blur them with a blending brush, however still try to preserve the shape that you very carefully sketched in step 5. You want a gradient that goes from dark at the lash line as well as lightens as it moves up toward your brow bone.

Any blending clean must do, however I like to utilize small, semi-fluffy angled eyeshadow brushes for this.

I location the short bristles along the edge of the half moon, then carefully blend the liner utilizing careful, managed back-and-forth strokes to keep the liner from going all the method as much as my brows.

When you’re done blending, clean the brush’s bristles a bit by carefully scrubing the head on a paper towel.

7. utilizing the exact same blending brush

Now tons the clean with your matte reddish brown powder eyeshadow, as well as pat it directly on top of the smudged liner on your lids. then blend, keeping the light-to-dark gradient.

(This intensifies the smokiness.)

8. The eye is shaping up

Next, tons your smudge clean with the matte reddish brown powder eyeshadow, as well as blend it on top of the liner on your lower lash line.

Note: Don’t fail to remember to link the outer corner of the lower lash line to the outer corner of the shadow on your upper lash line to envelop the entire eye in smoky goodness.

9. a lot more advanced smoke

Now tons a flat eyeshadow clean (or a fingertip) with the glittery bronzed peach eyeshadow, as well as pat it carefully on the inner half of your lids. You can then either blend the edges with your blending brush, or leave the shadow to clear up on its own.

I do it both methods sometimes, as well as either method works!

(If you utilize the blending brush, when you’re completed with it, clean the bristles on a paper towel one last time, since you’ll requirement it for the next step.)

10. completing the eye

Finally, tons your blending clean with deal with powder (yup, deal with powder!), as well as run it along the edge of the eyeshadow on both your upper as well as lower lash lines. This step assists your smoky gradient look smoother. It likewise provides you a possibility to right any type of areas where you may have taken your shadow as well high or as well far out.

11. coat your upper as well as lower lashes with mascara

Samozrejme.

12. Cleanup time!

OK, we’re nearly there. Next, eliminate any type of after effects under your eyes as well as on your cheeks, as well as for this eye makeup, by the way, I would budget plan 10-15 minutes, although I have done this precise look in 5 minutes, as well as it’s absolutely doable if you work swiftly as well as diligently, as well as you accept that it’s going to be a bit messy.

Lots of “ands” there, LOL.

Expect the other half of your time to be spent on the blackened red lips as well as your deal with makeup. If you work briskly, expect 15 minutes — 5 for the lips as well as 5-10 for the rest of your face.

On that note, let’s get crackin’.

13. apply as well as blend your medium-coverage liquid foundation

I dot it anywhere I want some additional protection (normally my cheeks, forehead, nose as well as around my mouth). Then, blend with a moist beautyblender.

14. Under-eye concealer

You understand exactly how it goes.

15. deal with powder on your cheeks

I tons one side of a blush clean with deal with powder for this.

When I’m using a medium-coverage foundation, I normally avoid deal with powder as well as depend on the foundation to do the heavy lifting; however, with this look, I like to dust a smidgen of powder on my cheeks to assist the blush/bronzer look smoother.

16. charming lips

Leave your deal with makeup “as is” for a second, as well as let’s momentarily step onto your lips.

Apply a thin layer of blackened red lipstick to the center of your lips, then utilize a finger to feather it out as close as you can get to the edge of your lips.

A bit back story on why I do lips before blush…

I just feel like, when I have my lipstick on, it’s much easier to gauge exactly how much blush or bronzer to apply to my cheeks, since when I do my bronzer or blush first, I always end up with as well much color on my deal with as well as then have to spend additional time buffing it down.

And it’s always, always much easier to add color than take it away.

17. Line your lips

Line around the edge of your lips with the matte brown pencil liner.

18. Perfecting the pout

Now apply one more layer of liquid lipstick, as well as if your edges end up a bit wonky after you’re made with this step, right them with the lip liner.

19. Gettin’ cheeky

It’s time to return to the cheeks, so tons the exact same side of the blush clean you utilized to apply deal with powder earlier with warm pinkish mauve powder blush, then pat that on the apples of your cheeks.

(Using the side of the clean that was already “pre-loaded” with deal with powder somewhat dilutes the blush, which will make it much easier to feather the edges.)

20. Bronze meh

Flip that exact same blush brush, as well as tons the other side of the clean head with bronzer.

Blend out the blush with the bronzer, and, if you want, take the bronzer along the edge of your hairline, your jaw as well as down to your neck.

(I likewise like to lightly dust across my nose.)

21. FINISHED!

Smize for the camera! You’re done.

Note: Slick high pony as well as leather jacket are optional (but extremely encouraged).
