How to get Smokey Eyes

Hello everyone! I always try to write once a week but this last week has been very tiring for me as I had tests everyday at school and I also had an exam on Saturday! Anyway, today I want to show you how to get smokey eyes step-by-step. Smokey Eyes have been a trend for such a long time and they don’t seem to be disappearing. Smokey Eyes can be done in every color: it’s up to you!:-) Today I am going to show you the classic one that is created with grey/black one. It suits every eyes color and it is quite easy to do and gives you a more sophisticated look. Let’s get started! ——–>

1. If you want your eyeshadow to last longer I suggest you use a primer, which you simply swipe across the eye with your finger and wait for it to dry before moving onto the next step.

2. For the base take a light shimmery grey eyeshadow and sweep it over your entire eyelid.

3. Then take a very dark gray or a black eyeshadow and apply it beginning at the outside corner of your eyes and be sure to apply it not too far in.

4. Take a black and shimmery eyeshadow  and, using a crease brush, sweep it on your outer crease in a “>” shape.

5. Take a blend brush and blend in all the eyeshadows starting at the lash line and blending up.

6. Now take a white eyeshadow and apply it under you eyebrows and in the inner corner of your eyes to highlight your eyes. Then take a eye pencil in butter and apply it to the lower water line.

6. Apply mascara both on the upper lashes and on the bottom ones.

 

7. If you want a more dramatic look use an eyeliner to do a thin line. As I personally don’t really like eyeliner as I thing it doesn’t look good on me, I prefer to draw a line with a black pencil towards the outer lid.

I hope you find this post interesting, and these two pictures show the finish look. Thank you and talk to you soon! 🙂

 

How I style Doc. Martens

I’ve recently bought a pair of black doc. Martens. When I wear them I feel very cool and powerful, don’t judge me for that! :-P.  I am really in love with Docs  and I’m always looking for new outfits to wear with my new shoes. At first I didn’t know how to style them so I have been searching on WeHeartIt, Tumblr and Youtube and found useful advice. So now I’m gonna tell you how I wear Doc. Martens! 🙂

-Docs and jeans: as I like to wear Doc. Martens to school, this is for me the best option. As I don’t like that my jeans looks “messy” in correspondence to the shoes, I like to wear some black or grey high-socks. I highly recommend to try out these cute idea! Otherwise you just can do a turn up, but I only suggest to do it if you have thin legs ‘cause the turn up will make your legs look shorter and bigger.

-Docs and leggings: sometimes I decide to wear black (or, rarely, grey) leggings to school or to go out. They match perfectly with Doc. Martens and a big t-shirt or a sweater and an infinite scarf, which I love to death! (not me in the photo!)

-Doc and skirts/dresses: If, for example, you are going to a party or just out with some friends, a nice idea is to pair Doc. Martens with a high-waisted skater skirt and a basic top, or with a cute dress. If it’s evening you want to take a cardigan. To complete the whole look, I recommend wearing a pair of black sheer tights. (not me in the photo!)

So, this is how I style my black Doc. Martens. I hope you liked it and please be sure to follow me and comment!

P.S. : if you are a boy, Doc. Martens aren’t only for girls. I really love boys wearing Docs! 😉
