Tutorial | High End Brown & Black Smoky Eye

Hope you are all having a blessed morning! I know I am. I want to take a few minutes to say Happy First Day of school to any of my readers starting school for the first time today. I hope you enjoy your school year and have a blast!

Today I wanted to share a tutorial with you all that I created using mostly high end eye products. I wanted to start playing around in my high end makeup a bit and figured why not do a brown and black smoky eye. I did use lashes for this look and I must say, even though I'm not a fan of lashes -- they really complete this look.

I have definitely enjoyed playing around with my Urban Decay palettes and Lancome eyeshadows for this look. It really is a soft smoky eye that can be pulled off both day and night. If you want to go a bit more dramatic just switch the lip color, add different lashes and/or add more black to smoke it out further.

My favorite part of this look besides the eye makeup would have to be the lip combo. I think it is definitely my new favorite lip color when I don't know what color to pop on my lips for a look.

What are your thoughts on this look?
