 In today's makeup lesson I'm going to show you how to create this smokey eye using just two eyeshadows. I also have lots of tips and tricks along the way as well so if you're interested in that then keep on watching and if you're new to the makeup chair channel and you're not subscribed then I might suggest hitting the subscribe button below it's totally free and if you're already subscribed then thank you and welcome back. Now let's get started in creating this super easy look using just two eyeshadows. Let's get started. So as always we're going to start by applying an eyeshadow primer all over the lid and I've actually started applying my eyeshadow primer using a damp sponge. I find that this creates a really even finish and also is so soothing because of the dampness of the sponge it's just really soothing on the eyes but I love the finish that it gives it's way more even than applying it with my fingertips which means we're going to have a longer lasting better finish and the eyeshadows are going to have something to hold on to while also creating a blank canvas as well and if you'd like I have a discount code below where you can get some of these sponges I just don't know why it didn't occur to me before it's way better to apply it with this. Now the two eyeshadows that we're going to be using is from this Fenty Beauty palette this is the palette number three we're going to use the top brown shade and the bottom brown shade to create this look and I'm going to apply the first shade using a blending brush I would like to hold the blending brush a little higher up on the handle when I'm applying so the further you hold it up on the handle the more pressure you're going to apply the more eyeshadow you're going to apply if you hold it in the middle you're going to blend as you apply and if you hold it right at the bottom you're only going to blend that's just something to bear in mind. So I'm going to take my blending brush and I'm holding it in the center because my lid is still a little damp so I don't want to apply too much pressure because it's just going to grab hold of certain areas so it's better to hold it in the center pick up a little bit of product and then very slowly start to build this up on the lid. So I'm going to start on the lower part of the lid and I'm going to build this up as we go because we want to grab hold of the shadows to keep it on the lid but we don't want to create little patches on the lid either so very slowly build this up apply it nice and low and work your way up covering the lid don't worry about the crease just yet just just cover the lid. Now as you can see I'm holding the brush kind of low down in front of me and this allows the bristles to kind of go up a little bit higher so it's covering the lid and also a little bit into the crease as well. Now if you only want to work on the crease you're going to bring it up horizontally so working across the eye instead and this will only cover this area and prevent your eyeshadows from going up too high but keeping it nice and deep in that crease. So I use a combination of keeping it low and then keeping it high depending on the areas that I need to cover. Another little tip and something that I've never actually mentioned is I always keep my eyebrow kind of raised because if I kind of squint or have my eyes kind of relaxed I get these little wrinkles so try keeping your eyebrow nice and high and look down in a mirror and this will create a smooth line first to work on so I always have a mirror kind of placed in front of me and this just creates this smoothness it's going to make sure we have a nice even texture and an even look so that's just something to try I'd have never mentioned it before but it's something I always do. So once I've covered the entire lid area I want to then kind of work in the crease area now and I'm going to do little swirling motions and this is going to blend in that crease line and keep it nice and deep in there but give us this kind of soft kind of halo around the lid so I'm keeping my hand high and doing little swirls. Now I could never do a smoky eye without using a clean blending brush to soften around the edges this honestly makes such a difference I'm holding it really far down on the handle because I don't want to apply anything or blend too much I want a soft gentle blend so holding it really far down the handle will just let it glide over the skin so it's going to be nice and soft and blurry and just that perfect smoky look because smokiness is the deep darkness right at the base and then it kind of disappears into nothing and that's what we want and that's what a clean blending brush does and then you should end up with something that looks like this. Now moving on to our darker shade I'm going to apply this using a small flat brush now you can come from above and kind of tap it across the lash line or you can bring it down and tap it across the lash line it's totally up to you and whichever one works for you. I'm also holding it quite high up on the handle to give me lots of control because I don't want this to kind of go everywhere you know we don't want fallout so keep it kind of high gives you lots of control and you can really press that dark eyeshadow onto the lash line. Now as you can see I'm keeping the brush kind of vertically across my skin so it's kind of pressing it against my skin right across the lash line and I keep it a little higher on the outer edge and then I kind of sweep it downwards the closer it gets to the inner corner but it's all about this pressing motion and keeping it vertically. I'm also going to do little smudging motions with this as well so I can kind of use the brush back and forth and kind of a little wiggle across the lash line and that's going to apply the eyeshadow just a little bit higher and make sure it's nice and smudged. Then I'm going to switch my technique bring my hand nice and high and this time we're working across horizontally so I'm pressing this all along and we're going to get a really nice deep effect as we do this. So I switch between the two using horizontal kind of pressing motions, vertically pressing motions until I get the depth that I want. Now we're not going to be applying any other eyeshadow but I do want to mention if you wanted to you could take your blush and apply this into your crease and this will bring the entire look together so we're using the same smoky eye but changing up depending on what we're applying into our crease onto our cheeks and onto our lips and I love love these by Giorgio Armani. They blend into like the most soft powdery creamy velvety feel. Oh my goodness they're amazing. Highly recommend. But we're not going to apply anything else on the eyes we're just going to go in with some mascara and some falsies. Now a lot of people are asking me how I apply my lashes so I'm going to show you this is what I like to do. I apply the glue on the upper part so it's not on the lash band it's not underneath it's on the upper part and I look down in a mirror and I'm going to press some upwards. So the first thing that I like to do is to kind of kiss my lashes so I kind of go onto the lashes. This kind of disperses the glue and make sure it's not really close to my eyes either because we don't want to get glue in our eyes and yes you are gluing the fake lashes to your own lashes so you do have to be careful after you've removed them to take care of your lashes but what I do is I do this and then as you can see it just grips hold of it I let go and then I just stamp all the way across until the glue dries and then this way I get to keep my own natural lash line and I can make sure that the lashes are really on there and I don't have any like little gaps or movement or anything like that but you do have to take care of your lashes if you do this technique and I'm also not recommending it and please make sure you don't get glue in your eyes. Also just want to clarify this is not stuck to the upper rim of my eye it's stuck to the roots of my lashes not on the waterline. Don't stick these to your waterline it's going to be very uncomfortable and it can actually really affect your eyes. I also didn't apply any mascara yet on the lower part because if my eyes get a little watery I don't want to have like you know smudge city going on so once my upper lashes are on I can then apply a little bit of mascara to the lower lashes and then that is the finished look I really hope that you enjoyed this one and please let me know if you try it if it doesn't work for you I'd love to know why because that way I can kind of readjust for these things or if you really like this look definitely let me know what you used what your eye shape is I'd love to hear from you I love reading your messages and seeing little looks that you recreate it makes my day so I hope that you enjoyed this one if you did please give it a thumbs up and as always my friends be kind to yourself be kind to others remember you are doing the best that you can do right now so go easy on yourself and I'll see you in the next one
