Classic Edgy Smoky Eye Look with VDL
—
Part 2 of my VDL collaboration is centered around a very quick smoky eye using just a pencil, a shadow duo and mascara. The whole trick is in choosing the products with the right texture and playing with light for a contoured lid that glistens with a pop of silver every time you blink.
The key product here is Eye Bomb Mega Smoky Pencil, which is pigmented and smudgy enough for that sexy grungy look. On lazy days, you can actually just stop at step 2 and then finish with mascara. If you want to switch it up, try the same look using different eye shadow duos!
The skin is kept quite luminous and the cheeks and lips are a soft girly peachy-pink.
Products:
- Base: Lumilayer Primer mixed with equal parts Perfecting Last Foundation
- Setting Powder: If you have normal to dry skin, skip powder. If you have oilier skin, just use a tiny bit of Locking Pressed Powder around the T-zone where needed.
- Peach Blush: Festival Mineral Blusher in 109 Fall In Love (I mixed both shades for a soft warm glow)
- Brows: VDL Festival Brow Pencil in Gray Brown (this slant-cut automatic pencil is idiot-proof for drawing natural-looking strokes and needs no shaving)
- Eye Primer: VDL Festival Eye Primer (if you have oily lids, a thin layer of this helps lock things in place; if you don’t, the black pencil is enough)
- Black Pencil: Eye Bomb Mega Smoky Pencil
- Silver/Grey Eyeshadow Duo: Festival Mineral Eyes in 901 NY. 34TH STREET
- Mascara: Eye Bomb mascara
- Peachy lipstick: Festival Lipstick in 608 Chris (this gorgeous lipstick goes on slightly more pink against the skin than it might appear in the tube.)
