Yesterday, I posted the photo below on my public Facebook account and asked people if I should do a tutorial on the look. I got positive feedback and decided to film a tutorial. I believe that every girl should know how to do a basic smokey eye. I'm no expert, and honestly this is my first attempt at using black eyeshadow for a smokey eye. I've always been afraid of black eyeshadow but then we all have to step out of our comfort zones at one point or the other, right?
Shout out to Ate PATSY who was the most enthusiastic person yesterday! *lulz* Appreciated it Ate Pats. I love you! <3

| Trying to look "maldita". Again. |
Here's a couple more photos of the look. It's really a basic eye look with very minimal shadow colors. You can substitute the colors I used with colors you like. You can come up with a smokey green, smokey purple, smokey pink, smokey navy blue... The list goes on and on. They basically share the same technique anyway. The ultimate key though is to blend properly. It all boils down to your blending.

To "close" this post, here's a close up shot of the eye make up. I know it looks a little off. I see creasing and it's nasty. I think I have to get myself a better primer this year. (Saving up for Urban Decay's Primer Potion or MAC's Painterly Paint Pot) Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed. I'll also leave a video tutorial down below so you can see how I did this look step by step.
