smokey eyes with the cool neutrals palette by mac

what do you need?

- A good primer (I used painterly paint pot)
- Some good brushes: blender, crease brush and normal eyelid brush
- the MAC cold neutrals palette OR the following shades: FRENCH CLAY - CUMULUS - PEARLED EARTH - BLACK TIED

step 1

Start with applying your primer. I always use the MAC paint pot as primer, because it really keeps your eyeshadow into place all night! I apply my primer with my finger, just spread it over your eyelids. 

STEP 2

Use your first colour, French Clay for the base on your eyelids. 

STEP 3

Use the second colour, Cumulus, to accent your crease. So only apply it on your crease with a normal brush and blend it afterwards. 

STEP 4

The third colour, Pearled Earth,  will be put on halfway your crease and going to the corner of your eye, where you can already start making a little "wing".

STEP 5

The last colour, Black Tied, is our finishing colour, applied in the corner and finishing the wing.  You can also apply a bit of your first colour, French Clay in the inner corner of your eyes. 

step 6

Blend all the colours with a good blending brush for a good overall look. 

STEP 7

Apply your eyeliner, eye pencil under your eyes and mascara. 

step 8

Finish off with a good setting spray. I used the All Nighter by Urban Decay.
