Gorgeous Lilac Smokey Eyes With Glitter And Nude Lips

In this tutorial, I will show how to create a pair of beautiful purple smokey eyes with glitter. The makeup is complemented with “nude lips” that fit nicely into a makeup that emphasizes the eyes. In the written article below, you’ll find all products linked for your convenience.

They are all compiled at the bottom of the tutorial. By purchasing products through the links, you help me to create more and better tutorials and videos in the future. The tutorial will also show you how the base is added in a step-by-step process to complete this smokey eye makeup.

Facial Cleansing, Moisture, And Primer

Start by cleaning your face with products that suit your skin type and then moisturize with a suitable face cream. To get more durable makeup, start applying a primer, preferably with a sunscreen factor for extra protection.

Correction Of Dark Circles Under The Eyes

Covering dark circles under the eyes is beneficial before laying a foundation. To cover the bluish shade under the eyes, I use a reddish color under the eyes and I also use it to cover blue-browed blood vessels on the cheeks.

Correction Of Red Shades In The Face

If you have a reddish shade somewhere on your face, for example around your nose, chin, or forehead, you can then use a green concealer to neutralize the red color. A green concealer works well on red pimples as well.

Foundation

When choosing a foundation, it is important to choose a color that is as similar to your own skin color as possible. You should preferably not see that foundation has been applied after applying it. I used a foundation brush to blend out the foundation.

Application Of Eyeshadows For Stylish Lilac Smokey Eye Makeup

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Dual Effects Eye Shadow

Real Techniques Shading Brush

Apply white eyeshadow under the eyebrows and in the inner corner of your eyes to create a nice shimmer (this step can be done later if you prefer to add the other shades first).

Apply the eyeshadow to the globe line.

The next eyeshadow should be slightly darker than the previous one, and it is placed in the globe line, but not as blurry as the first purple color. It’s good to use a smaller brush in this step as this shadow should be more defined.

Concealer On Eyelid

To create a nice and clean contrast between the eyelid and the cutline, a small concealer is added to the entire eyelid. This also allows the next color on the eyelid to be more emphasized.

Now we add the darkest color of the palette as a line that follows the top line of the concealer, which was added in the previous step.

To create a nice shimmer, apply eye dust (a thin and fine glitter in a powder form) on the eyelid.

Eyeliner

To better frame the eyes, place a thin line above the upper eyelash line.

Eyeshadows In Lower Eyelash Line, Kajal, And Glitter

On the lower eyelash line, we add an additional two eyeshadows and then the purple eye pencil.

Use the glitter (glitter in eyeliner shape) on the eyelid and just below the pupil on the lower eyelash line and use mascara on the upper and lower lashes.

Fill The Eyebrows

A pair of nicely-filled eyebrows frame your face in an eye-catching way and is a really important step that completes the makeup beautifully.

Concealer Under The Eyes

After the lilac smokey eye makeup is applied, it is good to complete it with concealer under the eyes. To get a fresh and nice look, it’s good to use a concealer that is 1-2 tones brighter than one’s skin tone. For best results, put the concealer in a triangular shape under the eyes.

Microshadow Smog

To create beautiful and natural shadows in the face that change and improve the shape of your face, add a dark color to the forehead, under the cheekbones, and throughout the shin-line.

Real Techniques Foundation Brush

If you want to hide a slightly visual double chin, apply a dark color under the chin to effectively create a sharper edge as well as the appearance of a slimmer face.

Applying Rouge

Applying Highlighter

Highlight the upper part of the upper lip, at the highest part of the cheekbone, and on the tip of the nose and continue a little bit up on the bridge of the nose. This gives a fresh and uplifting look.

Stylish Nude Lips

Fill in the entire lip contour with your lip pen and continue by filling in the entire upper and lower lip with the lip pen as well.

Now, use a nice matching lip cream or lipstick on your lips.

I hope this tutorial has given you new ideas on how to create lilac smokey eyes for both parties and adventures. Should you want a lighter variant for an everyday makeup look, you can, for example, leave out the glitter, etc.
