Smokey eye look with NYX Nude on Nude Palette

I did this look a while ago but was trying to figure out how to best described how I achieved this look!  I follow a lot of beauty bloggers and I KNOW I will not do this justice, but I will try my best 🙂

Since the NYX Nude on Nude palette does not have any colour names I will have to just point them through pictures.

All over my eye including under my brow bone I took a fluffy brush and used the lightest shade (bottom row most left shade).
The next colour I used was the 6th shade from the bottom, a greyish shade.  I took a flat eye shadow brush and patted this colour on to the base of my lids starting from the middle of my lids and patting up to my crease.
The third shade I used was the darkest shade of the palette – the black shade on the top row the most right shade.  I used the same flat brush but only dipped the point of this brush into the black shade.  I applied this along my lash line just concentrating on the corner of the lid and I also applied this colour right into my crease.

I hope I explained that clearly!!

I lined my eyes on my top lid only with mark no place to run longwear eyeliner in Jet Set (here and here).

I then took an angled brush and smudged it out a bit so the line wasn’t super harsh and I used the product that was now on the brush to line my bottom lash line.

I haven’t figured out how to properly line my waterline.  The colour just doesn’t see to stay put there – if any of my make up artist friends or make up experts have any tips for me, please share!

I curled my lashes then added mascara.

haha, sorry I’m not all glammed up I just wanted to show what the eyes looked like from a normal distance.  It’s actually not too dramatic and very wearable!

For swatches please refer to this post.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any tips for me.  I did a couple other looks which I will post at a later date but if you have any requests I’ll try some looks out 🙂
