**Creating a Dramatic Eye Look with Mac Shadows**
When it comes to creating a dramatic eye look, the right combination of eyeshadows can make all the difference. In this tutorial, we'll be using Mac Shadows to create a stunning, smoky eye look that's perfect for everyday wear or a night out on the town.
First, let's start with the brow bone highlight. I like to use the Shadow by Mac as my brow bone highlight. To apply it, simply blend those um eyeshadows perfectly and make sure it looks gradient. This will help create a seamless transition from one shade to another. Next, we'll work on the upper part of the look. We'll use the vanilla Shadow to create a soft, natural base for our eyes.
Now that we have enough of the upper part of the look, let's move on to the lower lid. The lower lid is really pretty and creates a nice white line under the eye. To achieve this look, simply wipe a small amount of 212 brush off and go in Max Gesso, a matte white eyeshadow. Apply the eyeshadow to the brush and place it right under the winged eyeliner, fading it out as you go. Take your finger and blend the edges to create a seamless finish.
Next, we'll use Signed Sealed by Mac, an almost black plumy purple color, to add depth to our lower lid. Apply this eyeshadow to the lower lash line using 214 by Sigma, my favorite brush to work with under on my under lid. Start at the inner corner and work your way outward, creating a soft, subtle transition from the white eyeshadow.
To enhance the outer corner of the eye, we'll use Stargazer by Mac, another shade in our eyeshadow palette. Apply this eyeshadow to the outer corner using 214 by Sigma, making sure to follow the natural shape of the eye. Blend well to create a seamless transition between shades.
Now that we have our lower lid and outer corner completed, let's move on to the inner corner of the eye. To add depth and dimension to this area, we'll use Copper Plate by Mac, a lighter shade than Signed Sealed. Apply this eyeshadow using 214 by Sigma, starting at the center of the eye and working your way outward. Use a light hand when applying the eyeshadow, as too much can make the inner corner look uneven.
As we work on the lower lid and outer corner, remember to keep in mind that our goal is to create a smoky, dramatic look. So, don't be afraid to add more Shadow to these areas to deepen the color and create a cohesive look.
**Adding Definition with Liner**
Now that our eyes are complete, let's move on to adding definition with liner. I'll use NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk Why to line my waterline, creating a subtle, natural-looking effect. Take your time when applying the liner, as this will help create a smooth, seamless finish.
Next, we'll add some black liner using Stila or Charlotte Tilbury, and define our brows using a brow pencil. Remember to keep it soft and natural-looking for everyday wear.
**Finishing Touches**
Finally, let's add some finishing touches to our look. Apply a coat of mascara using R London's Volume Max Flash Max Volume Blush to make our lashes pop. Take your time when applying the mascara, as this will help create a more dramatic effect.
For my lips, I'll start with the Michael Tot Newe Lip Base, which helps to moisturize and smooth out the lip area. Next, I'll apply Contour from Catrice using 214 by Sigma, adding depth and dimension to my cheekbones. Finish off the look by applying Ever Hip, a beautiful nude lip color from Mac's Liberty of London collection.
**Skin Care Update**
Unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction to some products while filming this tutorial, which made it difficult for me to continue with the video. My skin started breaking out and became really dry, so we'll be skipping over my foundation application in this part of the tutorial.
However, if you're looking for a great foundation that will help even out your skin tone, I recommend checking out some of the following products: Catrice foundation or Urban Decay foundation.
**False Lashes**
Finally, let's add some false lashes to complete our dramatic eye look. I'll be using Manic Panic's True Love false lashes, which are perfect for adding drama and glamour to any look.
