Hey everyone, I wanted to get you guys a New Year's Eve look.
The look I decided to go with today to show you guys was a pretty gold and black smokey eye.
I figure just about anybody can get away with this look, especially for New Year's.
So if you want to learn how to get this look, then please keep watching.
Taking my MAC 242 brush,
I'm gonna use this lighter shimmery color from the Maybelline nude palette, and we're just gonna apply this all over our eyelid.
Taking the same brush, we're gonna be using this little bit darker color, and we're gonna be going in our crease, and in our outer V.
Taking my ELF blending brush, I'm gonna be using that same color that we just used, and be buffing this out into the crease.
This little trick helps you to get that perfect line when you're doing a smokey eye.
I would definitely make sure you're doing something like this when you're doing a dramatic one,
because then that way you have that perfect sharp line, and there's no mess anywhere.
Now taking this black color from the same palette, we're gonna be buffing this again into our outer V and our crease.
The eyeliner that I'm using today is my Maybelline gel liner.
I absolutely love this one.
It really doesn't smear or smudge at all throughout the day,
and I'm also gonna be using this to line my waterline,
and that's something I don't normally do, but I am doing it for this smokey eye look.
Next I'll be applying my L'Oreal telescopic mascara.
Taking my fluffy ELF brush, I'm gonna be just applying a little bit of this darker color from that same palette underneath my eye.
Moving on to glitter, I'm just gonna be using this gold glitter that I got from Michaels,
and I'm going to dip my little brush into my Mac Fix Plus,
and then that'll help pick up the glitter, and it'll help it to stick to my eye.
Using this same technique, I'm gonna be using this black glitter and applying it to the outer V of my eye.
After all the glitter is on, I'm just gonna be taking that darker color once more,
and just kind of fill in the crease again.
Now on to lashes, I'm going to be applying my Velour lashes,
and these are the Wispy Sweet Nothings.
Taking my Maybelline dark circle eraser in the color Light Pale,
I'm going to just apply this underneath my eye.
I had already done this, but I'm just going to kind of be touching up
where I kind of smudged off while I was doing my eye makeup.
Now moving on to blush, I'm gonna be taking my ELF palette
and using this light pink color to apply to my apples of my cheeks.
And lastly, we're gonna be taking this plum perfect color from Maybelline
and applying this to our lips to finish off this look.
