Sarah: this one’s for you! Sorry it took me like three months to post x.xAnyhow, here’s a simple smokey blue-grey tutorial for monolids. See, we can totally wear shadow without it all “hiding” in our creases! This is the night-time clubbing version of this eye… a version that I haven’t worked up the guts to wear out of the house yet!

Materials
I didn’t keep a list for this one, but here are some guesses based on the colours and what I usually use:

MAC Pearl CCB or UDPP as a base
Senna Kinetic and Blue Note shadows (I’m pretty sure about these)
Aura Science Char Grey liner or MAC Blacktrack
1/2 lash (full lash seen here; shorter inner half used.)
Smashbox 6, MAC 217 brushes

Instructions!
1) As always, start with a base. Use foundation or concealer as well if your lids are less-than-flawless… I know mine are!
Tape under your eye (scotch tape; make sure you de-stickify it on your hand or arm first!)
Fill in brows if desired.
2) Apply a silver shadow (Kinetic) to the inner 2/3 of your eye with a flat brush, pressing the shadow into your skin and tapering as you move towards the inner corner.
Add a dark blue or grey shadow (Blue Note) on the outer 1/4 to 1/3, winging it slightly.

3) Blend with a domed brush (217) or pencil brush (219).
4) Reapply shadows, intensifying each and adding more shape and definition (especially in the wing area.)
5) Remove tape. Blend fallout to create a smudgey look on your lower lashline (219). Define inner corner with a bit more silver shadow using a small, flat brush. (The mini eye brush from The Body Shop’s travel brush kit is great for this!)
Soften lines on the top of the shadow/wing with a shadow close to your skintone, if desired. Use a fluffy brush and blend like mad!
Line waterlines (upper and lower) with a dark grey or light black pencil or cream liner. Taper/blend as you move towards the inner corner.
Apply lashes and/or mascara.
Ta-da! You’re done. See? Totally painless!
