Easy smoky brown eyeshadow tutorial

[germon69]

smoke and mirrors. putting on the war paint. drink a few beers and she is a model.

[librakitten16]

Can I ask how your foundation looks so flawless? I use Double Wear but it always ends up looking cakey! Thanks.

[MissSardu]

I wonder if you could help me with my "stubborn" lashes? Everytime I add mascara on my curled eyelashes they go back to straight... What do I do wrong? Too much mascara? Thanks! :)

[iamcasihart]

@MissSardu I know that you didn't ask me, but I have the same problem with my lashes. I heat my eyelash curler with my blow dryer first, (not too hot). After I curl my lashes, I apply my mascara. Now, the key for me is I MUST use Waterproof Mascara. There is something in the formula of Waterproof that holds the curl and lift. If I use regular mascara, my curl flops and my lashes look dreadfully limp. Lately, I am loving Lash Stiletto in Very Black Waterproof. Affordable and fantastic!

[MissSardu]

@iamcasihart Thank you for the tips! I shall try the blow dryer next time and also Lash Stiletto. :)

[iamcasihart]

@MissSardu You are welcome! I do hope that the blow dryer trick works as well for you as it has for me. :)

[frackinma]

I just love it.... :)

[musicalnames]

I just did this look, and I love it! I used NYX jumbo eye pencil in iced mocha as a base, and then macs glamor check! over top, a stila dark brown shadow for liner, and macs soft force to highlight. came out awesome, thanks for your wonderful, easy to follow tutorials! Gonna go for a night out now. :)

[Lolo1995V]

Are you a make-upartist?

[wariatka86]

This is such a nice look. I've been wearing this for the last couple of days and my boyfriend really likes it! I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record but thanks again for the time and effort you put in making this video. It is really appreciated! You too, Sam! Oh and Tanya! Hahahaha! =)

[VivianAudreyy]

This is the prettiest look you've done so far!

[SandraLondon63]

Wonderful as usual!!!

[SLAMSwan]

@everyoneshines2009 I have this issue, too. Maybelliene's (sp?) Full 'n Soft mascara (waterproof) is a great "primer" before I use any other mascara while maintaining the curl I create.

[1treehugger1967]

Lovee this video, Where can I find mac makeup online?

[sophiabencks]

LOVE this look! Off to try and re-create.... Thanks!

[tifftaylor73]

hi nic...i think you are too adorable for words & love your tutorials...as a brow freak id just like to say that you happen to look SOOOOOO much better with less filled in brows. not that you wanted my opinion, but i was just saying it because you do!

[MakeUpByElle]

[gabymijack]

Your eyes are beautiful!! this look totally makes them pop!! love it! thanks!

[msdeeds]

[MadeleineAnneMakeup]

this look makes your eyes look like jewels!!! =D

[ikkylicious]

Your hair always looks amazing!

[mummycool1]

Thanks Nic this is a gorgeous look. I have that Sleek palette, its luscious.

[MrChangeable]

I have blue eyes and i think this look would look really good with that! I will try this makeup look :D

[cmbladholm]

I love this look! But unfortunately I can't purchase the eye pallets since I'm in MN. I would love the get Mac versions. Can you suggest like eye shadows in Mac? Thanks! Have a great day!!

[sacha907]

i'm amazed at how you can draw such perfect brows! i always mess mine up!

[FoosieFoos]

You look gorgeous Nic - I'm gonna try that on me!

[thebirdisblue]

Your hair looks so lovely here

[ButterflyAmethyst]

I adore this look I'm fair skin with freckles do you think this could suit me I always have trouble finding browns that work with my skin tone.

[darbidoll99]

@ButterflyAmethyst I am also fair skinned , and I do brown looks like this all the time. I think it looks lovely, and I always get compliments on my makeup. I hope this helps.

[iamcasihart]

Do you & Sam over tweeze your brows? You both have very clean, sparse brows. I love how your finished brow always pulls together your look. My eyebrows are naturally full & dark. I shape them nicely, just following their natural arch. I quite like my brows, but I can't ever transform them as you do. Also, I don't use color on my brows because it always appears to harsh on me. In your opinion, is it better to have over tweezed brows so that you may shape them in a variety of ways?

[O663tt3]

@iamcasihart They both have blonde coloured eyebrows.

[DuneBuggy00]

@iamcasihart if i can remember correctly, in one of their videos they said they have their eyebrows like that strictly for their job. they wouldn't recommend it unless you really knew what you were doing

[missmary333]

Ooooh this is so pretty & wearable! And seems to perfectly suit the season. Sorta similar to my go-to look but amped up perfectly. Thanks for another great look!!

[TXPRiNCEZZ09]

love those sleek palletes!!!!!!!!

brown is absoloutly gorgeous on you nic!!!!!!!

xo

[thenamesbanana]

You literally have the best skin I have ever seen in my life.

[Morbidsenorita]

Do you recommend any other color for this smokey look? My eyes are black, so I'm afraid brown will not make them pop.

[mimclaire]

Gorgeous!!

[OnlyNicoleMariex]

Why are you so red on your cheeks and between the eyebrows?

[BornToShop1980]

lovely - always something unique from you and your sister - you seem to have a talent for hair as well Nic ! right now im loving all Dannii Minogues hairdo's on x factor this season and last season - so funky think the styles she wears would so suit you - alas i do think that your natural beauty helps alot towards making these looks, look good you have both been blessed with such gorgeous modelesque features but of course you are also uber talented and i am always left inspired lots of love x

[immortalrpincess]

Beautiful look. I dont have the sleek palette, so, could you recommend any mac eyeshadows that I could use instead ?

[NaoiseLove]

Stunning! Favorite!

[librakitten16]

Stunning!

[crazytwinsinc]

my birthday is on the 5th of november :B happy birthday to me? hehehe.. I just made this make up yesterday it looked wonderful, but at the end of the day I found out that I had itchy eyes and I looked on the mirror and my eyelids were fluffy and red :'( I used a very old eyeshadow sealer :B now I look silly...my husband say I look sexy..lol..

[Defiance84]

This look would be super easy to take from day to night. Just make the lips a dark red or deep berry shade for a gorgeous evening look. I love it! Nice work, as always. ;)

[shimmermk]

Gorgeous like always!!

[yveingenue]

Very nice. This look could go vintage too! like a 70's look and 20's look if the brow was thinner. I enjoyed it.

[reivenne]

I love this eye look, it really brings out your green eyes. I have to say I dont like the effect of the stone lipliner though, I think your smaller sized lips look much more natural and pretty than a big fake pout! :D Keep up the fantastic work.

[SarahSunshine2008]

Hehe, i am so glad u used the sleek palette, because i was in London for 2 months some weeks ago( i am from germany) and i bought it because of your tutorial with the blue eyeshadow from the chaos palette. sadly they didn't have that palette, but i got that one now!!! yippieh!

keep up the good work!

[deeelushious]

@pixiwoo what is the best way to remove waterproof mascara?? an inexpensive way i hope haha!!!

[iamaCD]

@deeelushious anything oily I guess.

[RiennaScarletEdge]

Hey, I did this makeup this morning and went out to lunch with my girlfriends and i got sooooo many compliments! Thanks for the inspiration! I do have a question...i know you guys both has dry skin...i have super dry lips to the point where there red all around and sometimes flake.....it would be so aweome if there were any products you could recommend? Love you both loads...your AWESOME!!!!

[annazraf]

@RiennaScarletEdge Hi, I'm no professional but Elizabeth Arden's eight hour cream works great. Also, the chapstick from the brand 'chapstick' is very good and has a SPF of 15. Hope this helps.

[GlossyxStar]

you are so sexy (haha I don't mean this in a *gore* way. you know what I mean. you are gorgeous and attractive!

[Dottilicious]

@amy1bacon I'm the same, neutral-yellow undertones and very dark almost black hair. Plus freckles & redness, always fun ;) Have you tried Paul & Joe foundations in 00? I find them to be a great match :) NARS' colour Siberia is also pretty good :)

[EmpressSophie93]

Absolutely love this look. It's awesome! :)

[LeiaS83]

Hey Nic what eyelash curler did you use in this tutorial please?

[pixiwoo]

@LeiaS83 Mac x

[chulawendie]

Can you do a hair tutorial on this look? It's so beautiful. I bet I could make my hair look like that, I just don't know how! Please help. If you don't have time, it's cool, I love your tutorials, thanks for all of your advice!

[imthatdeal18]

[michellemacco]

[Virgowoman3]

You are definitely pretty much the best makeup channel on youtube, we love you!!! I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a Victoria Secret Fashion Show Makeup on you for an upcoming party I have, please please please xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Applesandbananas1231]

Please respond. Is there any eye cream you can use on the eye LID to keep it plump. I tend to be a bit rough with putting on makeup and taking it off or just rubbing my eye in general. I've noticed that the skin on my lid is very flexible and moveable do you know what i mean? Can you suggest any eye cream to keep it healthy and not so much saggy?

[dbernal10]

Just beautiful!

[gracef77]

Love the look but what is the name of the Makeup Forever star powder and what color is you contour kit ...light?

[TheCheshireCat2010]

Hi Nic, fantastic look as always! Just wondered if there is a cheaper alternative to the MAC paint pot?

[Adtractorium]

LOVE it!

[kaikoa1]

can someone please tell me where you can buy makeup forever product, selfridges?

[MyBeautyChannel]

Can you tell me please, which lashcurler you use? thanks ;)

[NicoleSarah2525]

i immediately went and brought this sleek palette on ebay- i'm from new zealand and can't buy all these brands here! it's good to know that i can trust your opinion when i buy makeup as i know you don't use crap products! thanx for all your hard work, much appreciated xo

[whiterainboww]

pretty :) x

[thekatetastic]

Your eyes looked stunning!! Love it.

[wimpern]

amazing

[gregp94]

brown eye shadow, not a good look! - kim techno x

[MonkeyOnTheContrary]

Great look - did she use eyeshadow on the eyebrows?

[SIeeplessInBerlin]

@MonkeyOnTheContrary yes, she did. Sam and Nic often use eyeshadows for their brows. I've seen them use Mystery and Omega quite often (MAC) as well as the Laura Mercier brow duo, Yaby's eyeshadows and quite a few others.

[melivore]

Hi again, I'm so trying this video, always love brown eye looks!! I have a question for you, what is your favourite matte white eyeshadow, i would like a couple of recommendations please if you don't mind... thanks xoxox

[MrsSweetRose22]

Wonderful smokey!! I've been trying a good smokey for me but I've never found a good one, 'cause I'm light-skinned...

Because of you I think I've just found it...

Thank you pixiwoo.

ps:I'm Italian so I'm sorry for my grammatical errors.

[Starstruckgymnasts]

@RoniThanks clinique has an anti blemish solutions foundation it's £20 I haven't got it yet but if you go on the debenhams website the reviews will persuade you I'm getting it on Saturday hopefully! :)

[LisaKeiron]

Hi, I've recently bought a plum/ berry lipstick from superdrug and was just wondering if you could do a tutorial for it if you had any ideas??

Thanks, btw i LOVE your videos. :) x

[MissAsian94]

Your Eyes are realy easy to make up..but you do it amazing...i have asian eyes and its really difficult for me...( sorry for the bad english )

[SuperPitu2]

wat does contouring do ? :)

[lottielovelife]

@SuperPitu2 defines cheekbones/slims the face - enhances the natural peaks and troughs of the face

[blueundies]

@SuperPitu2 adds dimension to the face, you can bring out features with highlight and emphasize bone structure with darker colors

[RoniThanks]

how do you like the clinique even better foundation? i have acne prone skin and was thinking of buying it.

[lottielovelife]

@RoniThanks omg am sorry I know you didn't ask me but this foundation is so awful i felt obligated to share. its so heavy its vile - like cakey heavy not full coverage, and it totally broke me out - i have never had spots (more than the occaisonally blackhead) all through my teenage years and now 2 week after i stopped using it there still sitting here with practically acne. sorry put i couldn't let some one else use this stuff. I only used this for less than a week

[crudeleesplendido]

but... with a soft red lipgloss?

[ghengisgilbert]

A classic beauty to be sure

[LaurenAlexandra711]

this look is gorgeous :)

[aestheticsilence]

[janu67]

Great day to evening look...nice for winter. Thanks Nic!

[keroshizoo]

You look absolutely amazing with that Make Up, Nic. Should wear it more often!

[GLAM0RS]

THIS IS AMAZING!! I LOVE THIS LOOK AND UR EYES ARE SUCH A GORGEOUS GREEN COLOUR - JEALOUS :(

[littlemissfunky1]

I love that sleek pallette and use it alot however I do find the fall down quite bad :(, I use the same colours for my eyebrows every day. I was looking at the contour pallettes but even the light one looks really dark (I'm very fair)

[picklelili1]

love this look so much I've just txt hubby to call into superdrug to pick up this palette

[BerlinHeartCore]

love the look!

would this eye-make up go along with black hair????

[nubianangel34]

now i can say I LOVE UR EYEBROWS !!they look great on ya girl =)

[simonaalfa]

meraviglioso!!

[MonikaLoveYouM]

I'm in love with this lovely brown smokey eye look.Thanks Nic for this great tutorial & the inspiration. xxx

[muniqueen1]

Nice look - makes your eyes look really green. Or at least it does on my computer.

[muniqueen1]

Nice look - makes your eyes look really green.

[CatharinaHjelm]

Could you tell med which Louise Young brush you where using? I'm about to buy one for my Chanel loose powder and I want kind of a medium size one. The one you used looked really nice.

[iamcasihart]

Soft, warm, bronzy brown looks are my absolute favorite! With my coloring, this is the sort of look that wears the best on me. Often, greys and/or blacks look too harsh against my very fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. Rich, warm browns and subtle, glossy lips brighten up my face. Nic, you look flawless! Every time that you and Sam use a SLEEK pallette, I just adore it. Does anyone know if and when SLEEK products will become available in the USA?

[lamblover24]

Wow, this was gorgeous! You are a complete doll!

[RafouliG]

On November 1st was my birthday, it would make them even better if you wished happy birthday to me...! :$

Love all of your videos, make up goddesses! xx

[pixiwoo]

@RafouliG HAPPY BIRTHDAY XX

[aideezmom]

Lovely! Your hair is especially beautiful in this video. :)

[IntricateText]

This is an odd question but how do you get your lashes to be so bold? My lashes are pretty long in my opinion but when i put any kind of mascara on my eyelashes look like a bunch of really skinny, black lashes, with any mascara. do you just kind of pile it on until you get the volume? lol

[horselover627]

I love this look! Smokey browns are so wearable all the time, and really bring out my blue eyes! =)

[Vixen381]

I love this look very pretty

[msducklyn]

I love this look!! I think your watch is very cute!!

[nopedamnit]

"It does what it says on the tin!" Isn't that amazing when that happens? I love your honesty and I love the quality of all your videos. You and your sister are the best!

[caytlinmalone]

just wondering, what brush are you using for the concealer?

[michellenr01]

I love this look, this is so crazy...today, when i did my makeup in the morning, i swear to you, i did exactly the same, but i used Buck, from the UD Naked palette, and lined my inner eyes with the same pencil as you....This is Crazy!

[alexashea123]

I absolutely love this look :)

[guthamy]

I have a question about brown eyeshadows . For some reason every brown I try comes off very "orangey" on me . Can you sugest a couple off more ashy or taupey ones I can try ?

[acalvarado7]

beautiful as usual <3

[Kazenrei]

I liked this a lot when it was just the eyes and brows. For some reason you reminded me of Keira Knightley with it on.

[jazzyclear]

this is godgodgoddddddddddddddddddddd i like 2 much me gusta muchisimo todos sus videos chikas

[jazzyclear]

this is godgodgoddddddddddddddddddddd i like 2 much

[IMeikoI]

[Alreetkid]

Hello, I was wondering if you know of any ideas on how to make my skin not dry? i use moistiser and stuff but when i put make up on it looks horrible :(

[beautyparler]

Love this look (as I love all the makeup tuts you & your sis do:) This look reminds me a bit of the 90's.

[ThinkPinkLeah]

I absolutley love this look!!

[JeefieMakeUp]

[atownsuga]

[kelef666]

[countess666]

I've been on a big brown kick the past few days, so I love that you posted this now. :D You look gorgeous as always!

[DellDowny]
