Plum Smoky Eyes Using The Sleek MakeUP Vintage Romance Palette

Hello there!! Today I’m here with a step by step makeup tutorial my first ever pictorial tutorial 😀 Eeek!! I’m soo excited 😀 You would’ve understood by the post title itself it is going to be Plum Smoky Eyes Using The Sleek MakeUP Vintage Romance Palette. I love this palette it has all these gorgeous plums, purples and golds. The shadows in the Vintage Romance Palette are nicely pigmented and they blend like a dream.

These were the products I used in this tutorial but you can use ones from your stash that gives the same effect.

• Start off with a clean, well moisturised face.

• I wanted the base makeup to be super flawless so for that first I applied Lotus 3 in 1 Matte Look Sunscreen, Kryolan Matt Face Primer, MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC37 & NC42 mixed, for concealing used LA Girl HD Pro Concealer in Cool Tan and Nude mixed together, you know what this concealer doesn’t crease. Blended all these using a Beauty Blender, it is so worth every penny.

• To set the under eye concealer from creasing (being extra cautious it’s very hot here in Chennai) so I used Sleek Suede Effect Powder in SE01 and rest of the face using MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NC42. For this I used the Real Techniques Buffing Brush my holy grail brush.

• In the meantime, I filled in my eyebrows using Makeup Revolution Mono Eyeshadow in Delicious perfect shade for Indian Skin-tone and it is super inexpensive. Used a random angled liner brush.

• I contoured my cheeks & nose for that chiselled effect I used the City Color Cosmetics Be a Matte Bronzer it is a well pigmented matte brown shade not orangey at all. To blend it perfectly I used the Real Techniques Contour Brush.

• For blush I applied MAC Blushbaby for that perfectly flushed cheeks. Used a stippling brush from Coastal Scents.

• Applied The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer on the highest points of my cheeks and the bridge of my nose to highlight. Used a Tapered Contouring Face Brush from BH Cosmetics.

• Moving on to the eyes, I started off by priming the lids using Kryolan Eyeshadow Primer.

• Now comes the star of the show I applied Propose in Prague as the transition color from the Vintage Romance Palette using a MAC 222 Tapered Blending Brush.

• For the lid color I applied A Vow in Venice from the same palette.

• To intensify the outer third of the lid I used Forever in Florence using MAC 217 Blending Brush.

• To make the eye look smoky I added Love in London on top of the previous eyeshadow and smoked it out using MAC 222 Tapered Blending Brush.

• On the top lash line I drew a thin winged liner using the Maybelline Colossal Liner and Chambor Smooth-on Liner for that intense matte black wing.

• Using Mary Lou-Manizer I highlighted the inner corners of the eye and also the brow-bone.

• On the lower waterline I applied Lotus Color Kick Kajal and also smoked out Forever in Florence beneath that kohl to balance out the eye makeup.

• Applied Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara and Ardell False Lashes to complete the eye look and for the lips I used Gerard Cosmetics 1995 which is a beautiful rosey- brown dark nude which suited perfectly for the dramatic smoky eyes.
