I love the silvery look! Soo pretty.
1 2 3 READY!!!!
tomorrow mornings look..
thanks pb!
Hahaha, I wish I could do it as fast as PB does it.
I have a story, I watched this video on youtube and then this morning I woke up late for work, so I decided to do this and it was perfect. I love the NYX palettes. So thank you
yay how did it turn out?
great look!!!
very pretty:]
but i take like, 20 minutes to put on eye makeup, so for everyday, i only use concealer, eyeliner, and mascara ;p
I’m like that too, but I was so much worse when I was starting out. It took me forever to get ready.
This look is beautiful! I love how it can be for any occasion. It’s metallic yet neutral. Methinks Melikes
i gave you 5 stars! you are gorgeous & this look is amazing on you<3
this is totally inspiring me!!! thank you
Wow, that liner sheers out into a really nice base! I wouldn’t have expected that it was so smooth.
I haven’t tried using liner as base, but it’s cool. One less product to use.
I absolutely love this look! It’s the right kind of smokey that I always try to achieve!

Very simple I luv, thanks Pursebuzz.
Very simple! It’s really pretty!
<3!!!
Pretty but simple. A look that even noobs like me can achieve. I like it.
haha..it was simple. i hope i can replicate it..
cute look yay u did an asian eye look i like it
I think its really great for asian eyes because it’s not so heavy. Really dark stuff will just make asian eyes look smaller!
i need a quick makeup look and this is perfect
love the look and your comment “so it doesnt look like you just got punched in the face”
Sounds kind of bad, but I have to admit, I’ve seen so many girls who look like that. Hahaha
this is really simple. i don’t have this palette but can improvise or i can switch it up by using other colors! awesome. very helpful. still working on the smokey eye look.
i knoow i hate it when people use so many scattered products that you have to go everywhere to find!! thats why i love drugstore looks they usually stick with a palette and voila!
I want to get more palettes like this one. It just takes the guesswork out of everything and is so much more convenient. NYX isn’t available here though.
Hi there! I did this look today … and it was easy and fun. I used slightly different products though — mostly NYX singles. Thanks — this was a look that was quick yet polished enough for work!
this is such a pretty look…and easy to do..!
simple but very classy i like it (:
i can’t get the smokey eye look for me! it makes my eyes look BRUISED! i’m thinking i might stop by a MAC counter and ask for a personal tutorial. but it looks really nice on you! i just wish i could make it work for me!
Maybe you should use a lighter hand, especially with the dark stuff. If not, everything explodes onto your eye!
It’s so nice and simple. I need to try this out!
Thnx!

Its lovely that u do this ^^ lovely look.
I love how it’s very subtle! Not too dark - like it
xoxo
Oh no! lol. I hate it when that happens. And I LOVE harry potter. I haven’t seen the new one yet. How was it?
In my opinion, it was good, but not awesome. They changed some stuff, and kept a lot of stuff surprisingly. Better than the book!
I like it a lot. I would do a similar look for myself. I’ve tried doing dark smokey eyes, but because I’m fair-skinned and have medium blonde hair..it just looks too dramatic for my liking. I think this would look pretty decent. Where do you come up with all these ideas? Lol. You gurus fascinate me.
nice look! i will definitely try this out!
<3
It’s so great that you featured drugstore products. Can you do more tutorials like this please?
I love it when there’s a series of tutorials. There’s always something new to look forward to!
I’m interested in NYX too. They look like really good quality stuff for a good price. I just need to figure out how to get it here.
It’s really sophisticated, but in a toned down kind of way. I like it!
Me too! She always makes it look so easy. I guess its all the practice. But that eyeliner line looks so perfect. Just a couple swoops and that’s it! I take so long to do my eyeliner. That’s probably because I don’t wear it everyday.
I like the lightness of it too. Interesting to see a daytime smoky eye that can truly be worn in the day!
I didn’t think about it at first, but it really could be an everyday look. I read somewhere before that gray is really like a neutral, just like brown. It’s just not given that much love. Haha
I’m sure in real life it’s a lot faster. No need to show the products to anyone or explain stuff. But to be honest, it would probably take me 10 mins because I can be OC about it.
And easy too! It’s amazing!
I hate that morning rush. That’s why I just wear mineral foundation and lip balm during the day. I almost always oversleep!
wow so simple and easy! nyx products is so cheap and it has great quality!
I like the gloss too! Looks like it can go with everything, and it isn’t super sparkly and out there.
I might have to do the same as well. Annoying though, because that means I’ll have to wait forever for it to arrive. Nooo…
Hahaha I didn’t bother! I had my Hogwarts crest tshrit on and my Gryffindor beanie, and that’s all I needed. Hahaha. Yay to us HP fans.
thanks for the tutorial. it’d really work on my asian eyes ^-^
i absolutely love your website and videos when i first saw you i was like wow she’s so good at makeup and hair and honestly everything great attitude so up lifting i check out other peoples videos but always go back to you for tutorials thank you so so much;]

prettty<3 i like
love love love this look
it kinda reminds me of my UTMOST FAVORITE mac color of aaallll time
satin taupe??!! =]
question: should i use clinique moisture tint versus mac’s new tinted moisturizer……..
clinique is so great for the skin
but im such a mac girl
(except for mascara… i love clinique’s mascara)
decisions decisions decisions……..
i forgot to mention i love the MSF cheeky bronze for the days im feeling “bronzy” it jus adds that extra umph to your cheeks and bronze
i duno the word for it but i hope you kno wat i mean
yay! drug store products are so budget friendly! thanks for doing it on affordable stuff, pb. those name brand items can become quite pricey.
the pictures are amazing!!
ooh lala i likeyy

I really needed to watch this. I wana find looks that I can do in the morning that are quick but look great!! This helps. Thanks!

I’ve been looking for a smokey eye look with drugstore cosmetics and I finally found it!
Hi PB!!
Awesome look like always
Love watching your videos and reading your posts
keep it up
Thanks
to me i feel like it was hard for me to achieve a smokey eye with asian eyes but this video helped me
so pretty and elegant
i love looking at your eye makeup looks,
because even tho i am white i have asian eyes,
probably because i have spanish in me ;D
love the color purple!
I love that smokey eye! It subtle enough to wear during the day I think…Physicians Formula makes an amazing set of shadows that come together of like 10 strips of colors to make AMAZING smokey eyes. They make them for different eye colors, I have the blue eyes, smoke eye palette. It’s a great drugstore product.
i lovee the smokey look, but thenn im only 14 a freshiee soo my moms always likee…youre too youngg to put on dark makeup x_x
LOVELY!! i think ur the only beauty guru that zooms in so closely lk all up in ur face thats awsone.. waaaaaaaayy way more helpful that way in. and the video and lightin are great as weel. i dont think u have ever done anythin to dissapoint!!!!! thank u again
nice look~ it brings out ur eyes!!!
i just love smokey eyes. this post is great and helpful. and best yet, it’s featuring drugstore items how great is that =)
I’m asian and I tried doing a smokey eye, and it keeps on turning out to be a bluish color….
I really wanna try that clinique thing…
I love quick tutorials! Thanks!
Thanks I love quick looks. I am a mom so it is great to have something I can do quickly while my baby is occupied for a few minutes.
nice simple look , thanks . Sometimes cheap is better.
WOW! I love it. It’s quick and easy to do (or so it looks!) and I can’t wait to try it out. I love working with makeup, and all of your tutorials help me improve on my…techniques, I guess you could call it. Anyway, this is great. I can’t wait to give it a whirl.
This is so cute!!!! wow
