Christine, I would LOVE a tutorial for the “In the Groove with Alice and Olivia” look!
It’s coming!
very pretty.. but how long does this take to do?
5-10 minutes
Love this tutorial! I’ve always had some issue with a smoky eye because I’m Asian, I always thought that a multi-step eye would be too complicated on my small lid space. Thanks for this tutorial, I’ll definitely be trying out some of these ideas!
Thanks, Emi!
you need an upper liner, you are a teacher for so many others and you continually break this rule and it’s just awful! WHY?
Hi Karen,
Upper lash liner tends to irritate my lash line, causing it to itch, water, and then sometimes swell up from my lash to my lid – which can cause my lid to get a lil’ rash.
And there are no rules in makeup, IMO. 🙂
Gorgeous tutorial Christine. Thanks so much for your time and effort! I purchased this ENIGMA quad with the NAKED palette by UD on the same day, and kept going back and forth about what looks to do. I appreciate how refined you are with your application. The right brushes definitely help! Thanks again. ^^
Thank you so much, Proenza!
Christine, Im from brazil and i love ur website! I always recommend it to my friends! So, what i’d like to say is, I want to buy a brush that i can use to make the same effect u did with the 226, to use on the crease, but on the make website its no longer offered. Wich other brush could I use?
Thank you so much, Ana! Try the 224 or 222.
I loved the way of making smoky eyes in few minutes. You have got one regular reader here.
I am curious whether i have to use Makeup Forever HD foundation only? I typically use Mac.
You can use whatever foundation you want! 🙂
