Soft Pink Smokey Eyes Simple Tutorial and First FOTD

I finally after almost a year of blogging decided to share a full face - so this is my first ever FOTD, hope you all like it.

Pink Soft Smokey Eyes FOTD with Lotus Herbals MoistPetal Lipstick in Raspberry Punch

The challenge was to use minimum makeup so I did this using only 4 products that I will reveal as I present the steps.

I chose a soft pink smokey eye look - the face is bare without makeup (freshly washed) and on my lips I am wearing Raspberry Punch from Lotus Herbals Moistpetals range which I will be reviewing soon. (Yeah made use of the buy 1 get 1 free offer on HERE)

Now for the soft pink smokey eyes or do I say pink soft smokey eyes? Here are the steps in a picture (followed by text below)

Step 1: Start with clean eyes (if they are dry moisturize them with a non greasy eye cream - or use aloe vera - mine are bare)

Step 2: Use any pink eye shadow, I chose a coral pink which is actually a blush - the Bourjois Little Pot Blush in Rose Eclat (reviewed HERE) and cover the entire lid - add more colour on the lid and just one gentle swipe on the brow bone. If your pink is darker then skip the brow bone area. You can do this step using your finger, the brush present in the blush or use an eye shadow brush. I did mine using an eye shadow brush from E.L.F.

Step 3. Using a black eye liner (or kajal pencil) draw a thick line on on outer corner of the upper eye lid tapering it off as you go near the inner corner of the eye. I have used Maybelline Colossal Kajal (reviewed HERE)

Step 4. Using the same liner tightline your eyes (as shown in the image)

Step 5. Using the eye shadow brush smudge the black line starting from the outer corner moving towards the inner corner. When you smudging the outer corner smudge into the crease (only on the outer corner)

Step 6. Repeat step 3 but draw a thinner line than before and take it all the way towards the inner corner of the eye.

That is it. And here is a round up of all the products used on my face in the FOTD
1. Bourjois Paris Blush - Rose Eclat (used on my cheeks and eyes)
2. Maybelline Colossal Kajal (used as liner)
3. Eye Shadow brush (E.L.F.)
4. Lotus Herbals Moistpetals Lipstick - Raspberry Punch

So friends, what do you think about my FOTD and this tutorial? Do leave your comments - if you like it I will try and do more FOTDs in future!
