Tutorial: Dramatic Eye with Lorac Pro

I have moved my blog! It is now located at www.rebeccashoresmua.com/ check my Index of Post to see my posts that are on this website and follow me on Bloglovin so you can see my new posts!



I use my Lorac Pro palette a lot and I really like the shadows they have included. I finally made a tutorial, and I am planning on making another look or two also using this palette.

Here's the finished look!

Start out with priming your eyes. I am using the Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer.

 Apply Cream (matte, cool light cream) from the crease to the brow. I applied this with a Sigma E60.

 Using a MAC 242 apply Light Bronze to the lid.

Here's another look at that step.

 Using a Sigma E45, apply Taupe in the crease and half way to the brow coming to a point.

 Blend that out using small circles around the perimeter. I am using a MAC 217.


Using a Sigma E45, apply Espresso along the lash line and crease.

 Here's a look at the step with my eye open.

 Blend the edges. I am using a MAC 217.

 Here's a look at the previous step.

 Using a Sigma E30, apply Black to the outer V and extend the line following the lash line.

This is what that step looks like with your eye closed.

 Blend the shadow out carefully. I am using a clean Sigma E30 to blend.


 Clean up any fallout.

 I've corrected and concealed under my eye. Adding a little bit of Nude, in the inner part of the lid.

 Run some Taupe under the lash line. I use a Sigma E30.

 Run Espresso along three quarters of the lower lash line, using a Sigma E30.

 Then, take Black and run that just on the last quarter of your lash line, and wing it up.

Blend those together. I use a MAC 217.

Take an angled brush and make a line following your lower lash line with the Black.

 Blend that together, being mindful of the point.


 Use an angled brush and run Cream along the angle of the Black to clean up the line.

Add White to the inner corner and brow bone. I used a Sigma E45.

I am adding some liner here, which is optional, but I am going to be adding lashes so the liner will help conceal the band. I used Lorac Front of the Line liner.

I tight lined with black, added a nude liner in my water line, curled my lashes and added some black mascara to finish the look.

I did a quick base on my skin for the sake of the tutorial, but generally I would do my eyeshadow first and then do my base unless I was using light colors or shadows I know don't have any fall out.
The Brushes I'll be using
I use a Sigma E60, but any large rush will do for covering large areas.
Sigma E45 is my favorite tapered blending brush.


A MAC 217 and a Sigma E25 are the blending brushes I use.


I also like Sigma E35 for blending.


This is a paint brush, but I love it. I am all for buying brushes made for paining for makeup (if they are nice enough/soft enough to be used on the eye area). however, NEVER use a brush that has been used in paint on your face EVER.


E30 is a good pencil brush.

If you're doing your base first, drop a bunch of shadow under your eyes for easy clean up.


Prime your lids.


Using a MAC 242 pack on some MAC Antiqued on the lid and brush MAC Blanc Type from the crease to the brow.


Add some The balm - Matt Rosen (medium warm orange/brown) along the lash line and into the crease and blend.


Add some The balm - Matt Garcia (medium warm brown) along the lash line and into the crease.




Blend.


Add MAC - Embark along the lashline.


Blend.


Add Antiqued along the lower lashline.


Blend with UD Naked.


Line the waterline with a nude liner and tightline with a black liner.




Curl your lashes and add some black mascara and you're done!






Smokey eyes are classically paired with nude lips, however, this fall bold eyes with bold lips are something we are seeing more of. So, here's the look with NARS Train Bleu.
