My Absolute Favorite Makeup Look

Transcript: My Absolute Favorite Makeup Look by MakeupByLeina

Hello, beautiful people. I did this smokey eye. I love smokey eyes. This smokey eye reminds me of Kim Kardashian, and she is one of my favorite celebrities, like ever, ever, ever.

Here are the eyes. Now, I feel like this kind of smokey eye matches a ton of different eye shades. This smokey eye can be worn, like, on a night out, whenever the heck you want to wear it. You can even rock it during the day. But, I mean, that's totally up to you. I know people are going to be like, "You know what? That's too much makeup." But it's totally up to you. I would rock this during the day, but that's just me. I really like the smokey eye. If you want to learn how I did this look, then stay tuned.

To get started, I usually put on my foundation and all that stuff already. I put a powder to catch the fallout. I primed my eyes with MAC's Painterly Paint Pot. I'm going to get started with MAC's Vanilla eye shadow with a big Coastal Scents brush. This is my favorite highlight because there's not a lot of shimmer in this.

Now, I'm going to take the Sigma flat brush. It's the 239 but you know Sigma changed their names. iNouvi Dust in Moonstone. It's really pretty and shimmery. It's a nice neutral color. That's on my lid. You can apply this wet if you want to. I'm just going to apply this dry. I'm going to pat this down on my lid.

Now, I'm going to take a Sigma pencil brush. I'm going to take this MAC eye shadow, it's called Typographic, I think. It's a nice matte color. It's kind of gray, almost black. I'm going to kind of just draw a line. It's going to be different on everybody because we all have different eye shapes. So, you're just going to find, like, your socket, your eye socket, and then I'm just going to draw a line here to kind of, like, draw the mark basically. And then we'll work around that. The trick with this is that you don't want to go too high up. We're going to feather up that dark color. But the trick is that, you know, you don't want this dark color to go everywhere, because you'll look like you got punched in the eye.

Now, taking a 217 brush with MAC's Soft Brown, I use this a lot, a lot, a lot, and it's just a blendy color. It pretty much just ties everything together. It gives a smooth transition from the dark color to the highlight. So, I'm just going to stick this in right here.

All right. So, I pretty much have everything even, both my eyes. So, I'm going to wipe away that powder. Before I put on my eyeliner and my mascara, I'm going to use NARS' Kilimanjaro eye shadow, which is that gold right there. This is a Sonia Kashuk brush. This is going to be my tear duct color. This is my favorite one. It really brightens up your eyes.

I'm going to do eyeliner and mascara off camera to save time, but I'm going to use my Clinique gel liner with this brush right here. This is the Sigma 209. Then I'm going to put on my Rimmel Max Lash Max Mascara, and I will be right back.

Okay. So, what am I doing? Okay. The rest of my face. Here are my eyes. I hope that lighting's okay for you guys. The sun's starting to go down.

So for the cheeks, I'm going to put on my highlighter first and I'm going to use MAC's Cream Colour Base in Hush and a MAC 188 brush. This is dual fiber. I tend to not put a lot of highlighter on because I have oily skin, but a little won't hurt. Go down the bridge of my nose, too. Yeah.

I'm going to take a MAC 165 brush and I'm using my NYC Sunny Bronzer. I'm going to use this just to contour. I like to put bronzer on my forehead because I kind of have a big forehead and this creates the illusion of a smaller one. And then I have extra fluff down here, so. The blush I'm going to use is Melba by MAC. It looks really dark in the camera. But it's pretty light. It's a true peach color. I don't think there is, there's no shimmer in this.

Now on to lips, because my lips really chappy. Where's my ChapStick. First, I'm going to moisturize my lips, because my lips are really chapped right now. NYX, NYX? That's what I said last time. Coastal Scents Coffee lip liner. It is my favorite. I haven't sharpened it. I use it a lot. And you don't have to do this. This is a ton of makeup, but I just really like this look, okay. You don't have to do this. Some people are like, well, lip liner doesn't even do anything. You don't have to do this. You can just go ahead with your lip gloss or your lipstick. But this is just what I do.

This is MAC's Blankety lipstick. It melted, so,, I put it in a little pot. And then to finish everything off, Revlon lip gloss. Just a pink lip gloss. It's called Pink Whispers. I'm going to dab this just in the center.

And that's all. So here is the finished face. All right. So, I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial, and I will talk to you guys, soon. Bye.
