Tutorial: Bigger Eyes (Easy Soft Smokey Look)

Hi readers.. Since school is fast approaching.. I decided to create a very simple look. I know my eotds look a bit intricate with all the different colors I am using. In this look, I am inspired by Korean and Japanese eye makeup.. Their eyes look so big and soo kawaii.. I really adore them. I have puffy eyes with dark circles underneath. Their makeup just look so refreshing.. Not too much color but more emphasis on the lashes and eyeliner.. Here is a quick tutorial of this look:
For this look I will be using this palette from NYX. The shade is Honeycomb.
The middle shade of brown is really lovely!!

First, I prime my lids with elf duo cream eyeshadow in olive. I am using the brown shade. Apply it on your lid.

Then, feather out the edges to create a softer brown shade on the crease.

Line your eyes with a black eyeliner pencil and  smudge it. Make sure to line your upper waterline to create a more defined look.

I apply the lightest shade of the NYX palette on the brow bone.. I defined my brows using Nichido brow pencil in medium brown. Apply mascara on your upper and lower lashes. Put on some falsies and apply black liner on your lower waterline.
Smudge black liner on the outer part of you lash line. And of course, sweep some white shimmery eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eyes.

Here is the Final Look of the Eyes:


The Final Look:
^I look so different!! hehe

On the face I use:
Revlon Photoready in Golden Beige
Elianto cream concealer in deep 2
MAC Melba blush
NYX lipstick in Indian Pink (I LOVE THIS!!)
For contouring I use ELF pressed powder in tone 4!! (This is very useful and long lasting on me compared to my NYX blush in taupe)

^^my nose!! i love love.. it looks nice with all those contouring.. 
hindi na ako pango (I ain't flat nosed anymore) hehe

I want to do more FOTD's before classes resume. :C

  18. Your eyes may look simple but I believe it needs mad skillz to get your eyes to look gorgeous without looking like you put a ton of makeup on. This definitely fits the bill. Great look!

  21. @skaki: i apply it with cotton too. I think the main purpose or toner is to remove excess dirt so you have to have something for the dirt to adhere to.. right? :D
