This might be my favorite smoky/neutral eye! By using a blending brush I can get a really nice "faded" look.
-First, I started by applying a primer to my eyelids so the product sticks and lasts all day.
-I then applied a matte cream color to my entire lid.
-Then I applied a matte light brown color in the natural crease of my lid.
*At this point you don't need to be neat...It will all get blended in the end.*
-Then I take my Sigma blending brush and I blend the shadow in a circular motion until all the "lines" are gone.
-I then go back in with a small, angular brush with a dark chocolate brown color, in the outer corner of my eye.
-I try to make a triangle shape on the out corner of my eye with the dark shadow... kinda like a cat eye but not that extreme... unless you want a more dramatic look.
-After I have the dark shadow where I want it, I go back in with my blending brush and blend it out to give it that natural, faded look.
****BLEND****
-I then go back in with my matte cream colored shadow in the corners of my eyes to brighten the look up!
-I line the outer, upper corner of my eye, as well as the upper water line so the outer corner of my eye looks darker than everything else.
-Curl your lashes, give them a few generous coats of mascara... and you're good to go!
Here are a few pictures!

Eyes of the Day: Blue Hue
I know, I know... blue eye shadow isn't very cool. Kinda reminds me of when I was a kid in dance, wearing bright blue eye shadow and red lipstick... classy. LOL. But I've taken a more subtle approach to this look. I was out late last night and needed to wake up and look refreshed, even though I'm totally not!! The shade I have on my lids isn't blue in fact... it's a pearly white hue from Wet N Wild's trio....(the one with the brown and pink..sorry I don't know the names!) It goes on a little blue for me but I like it. I first applied NYX eye shadow base in white... then dusted the pearly white color over it and around my eyes to give it a glowy look. I did my regular lash routine... curl and a few coats of Lights, Camera, Lashes from Tarte. DONE!
