                      I think its really great for asian eyes because it’s not so heavy. Really dark stuff will just make asian eyes look smaller!

                        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!

                                    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!

                                    • At 2009.07.23 14:16, Carmen said:

                                      Maybe you should use a lighter hand, especially with the dark stuff. If not, everything explodes onto your eye!

                                            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.

                                                  It’s so great that you featured drugstore products. Can you do more tutorials like this please?

                                                    I agree! I love my name brand makeup products but I also use a lot of drugstore stuff. It saves a lot of money!

                                                    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.

                                                      • At 2009.07.23 14:01, Carmen said:

                                                        It’s really sophisticated, but in a toned down kind of way. I like it!

                                                        • At 2009.07.23 14:02, Carmen said:

                                                          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.

                                                          • At 2009.07.23 14:03, Carmen said:

                                                            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.

                                                                      • At 2009.07.23 14:10, Carmen said:

                                                                                              clinique is so great for the skin
                                                                                              but im such a mac girl

                                                                                              (except for mascara… i love clinique’s mascara)

                                                                                              decisions decisions decisions……..

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 have really big, blue eyes and it’s really hard to find good makeup looks. Asian eyes are perfect for makeup, they’re so beautiful!
