Simple Smokey EOTD using my new MAC Beauty Marked Eye Shadow

Hello ladies :) Hope you've had a very merry christmas :)
This holiday season, I got myself my first MAC product, which is an eye shadow called BEAUTY MARKED.
Honestly, I was looking for a black shadow that would help me get a nice smokey eye effect, but the SA showed me this and I was hooked! :P
It looks all Purple and glittery but when you apply it, it's black with purple glitter... ooooohhhh its yummy :)

 

MAC Beauty Marked

The simple smokey look that I did using this eye shadow is as follows:

Smokey Eyes

This is how I did it...
1. First, I primed my eyes with my NYX eye shadow base and then dabbed some Oriflame Air Soft powder on my lids.
2. Next, I applied the MAC eye shadow with a flat eye shadow brush over my lids i.e. extending from
the lash line to the crease.
3. Then, taking a blending brushing, I simply blended out the shadow till the sockets of my eye.
4. I applied kohl on the waterline and tightline and finished the look with some liquid liner on my lash line and mascara on my lashes and VOILA the smokey eyes are ready :)

READER QUERY: Loose Powders and Mascaras

Hey guys... Sharmi has a few doubts and would like some help from all of us...
Her queries are as follows:

1. I have hypersensitive oily skin. I am thinking to buy Oriflame Loose Powder in Medium shade. Does it give a good coverage?
2. I wear specs. I have small scare eyelashes. I want to wear mascara. Last time I used, I had experience falling of lashes. Could you refer me a excellent mascara.
3.Do you have any ideas how I can have thick eye lashes naturally?

REPLY
1. Oriflame loose powder is a good option if you have oily skin. I have always felt that loose powder is a better option than compact and Oriflame products are know to never cause any reactions to the skin :) Oriflame as such offers two kinds of loose powders--- Giordani Gold Mineral loose powder and Oriflame Air Soft Powder. Both give excellent coverage. The Giordani Gold Mineral loose powder comes in "light" and "medium" shades and has an applicator puff with it. The Air soft powder on the other hand comes in "clear" and "light". It doesn't have a puff with it.
Though I have dry skin, I have super oily lids and so I myself use the Air Soft powder. If u need something for your whole face with a "foundation"-like coverage then you might go for the Giordani Gold Mineral powder.

2. I personally would recommend three brands:- Revlon, Oriflame and Maybelline. I use the Revlon waterproof mascara, Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara and Oriflame's Vision V* Freaking mascara... All in BLACK!!! :D They do not cause reactions and have good volumizing effects :)

3. For naturally thickening one's lashes my mom always recommends using CASTOR OIL on the lashes before retiring for bed :)

I hope I ve been able to help you out here Sharmi... If you guys (blog readers) have something else to add, do put in your comments as well :) All are welcome :D
