Hi, I'm Nadira
and these are Carolyn.K London's Beauty Books. This one is Define Your Eyes,
which is the perfect palette for day to evening eyes;
complete with 9 shades, a professional beauty brush
and a step-by-step guide on how to achieve
natural day time eyes or even smoky sultry eyes.
I'm going to do a smoky eye on Lucy.
I've already begun with this golden burnished shade
all over the eye, eye lids;
over here and up to the brow bone and underneath. I'm going to now start to highlight using the palest shade.
So I'm gonna take this
really high pigmented shade,
just press that on to the
upper brow bone and onto the
insides of the eyes.
And then I'm going to take another brush and just
blend (just close for me). So you can really see
the shape of the eyes opening up so that we have a really nice wide eyed look.
Now I'm going to take...
Now I'm going to take the
lovely burnished red shade
into the crease; just going to *** off the excess.
I'm going to take that into this outer crease
so we keep the eyes open but very
sultry. So we're really going from day to evening.
And you can see how as I apply it,
it just goes on instantly. There's great colour impact.
There we go. And then, going to take
another darker shade right on the
very outer corner, as close to the
lash line as possible. Just press that there.
And then I'm going to take the
other end of the brush, use
the black shade, to create a soft
liner.
I'm going to press that along the lash line,
creating just a very small
flick.
And really press that on. You can see
that's just an instant definition
on the eyes. (Just open.)
If I do that onto the other side,
really, just literally pressing that in with the angled brush.
We're keeping it soft
so we create that smoky effect that we want.
And then I can take that underneath (just look up for me)
going as close to the
lash line as possible.
We have so much definition. And there we have it, beautifully defined eyes
from a really versatile eye palette.
That's Carolyn.K London's Define Your Eyes,
everything you need to be your own makeup artist.
