Here is a quick look I had to do because in the "Purple Green eyes for Hazel eyes" look I did Wednesday 27th August 2008 (http://teamsugar.com/group/88093/blog/1896125) I showed you how you could have a quick day smokey eye and I wanted to finish it. I'm really tired, so it's going to be a quick blog.

Products in this picture
- Benefit Firmology
- Neutrogena Pure glow (dry and sensitive skin daily cleansing cushion)
- Clinique repairwear intensive eye cream
Preparation
I started with the cleansing cushion and cleaned my face using the scrub side first and the soft side second. I then took off the soap with warm water to open my pores and let in the Firmology quickly. I used repairwear eye cream to give my eyes an extra little bit of care.
I used these products
- Smashbox, Photo Finish Clear Foundation Primer
- Smashbox, High Definition Healthy FX Foundation in Light L3
- Smashbox, Travel Foundation Brush
- Smashbox, Camera Ready Concealer in 3.0
- Smashbox, Photo Op Under Eye Brightener
- Make Up For Ever, Super Matte Loose Powder in no. 12
- Sephora Professionnel, Minderal Powder Brush no. 45
- Smashbox, Eye Shadow Trio in Panorama (using the lightest colour only)
- Smashbox, Concealer Brush no. 4
- Urban Decay, Eye Shadow Primer Potion
- Urban Decay, Wallpaper Shadow Box using the colour Chopper (coppery fawn w/ silver microglitter Item # 35800)
- Sephora Professionnel, Sponge Tip Shadow Applicator #27
- Urban Decay, 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero (zealous black Item # 44470)
- Mascara wand for eyebrow brushing
- Blinc Kiss Me Mascara in Black
Face
When the moisturiser was absorbed by the skin, I used Photo Finish Foundation Primer to create a base everywhere but on my eyelid, I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion here. I took my travel foundation brush to place High Def Foundation on my face starting at the centre and working outward blending it everywhere but on my eyelid. It was a touch day, so I used Camera Ready Concealer to conceal what is to come and blended this with the Foundation brush as well. I tapped some Photo Op Under Eye Brightener under my eye to make the concealer look more skin like. I set the foundation with Super Matte Loose Powder (not on and under my eye because this will create creasing under my eye and kill the Primer Potion on top of my eyelid). I placed the powder with a Mineral Powder Brush.
Eyes
Using the concealer brush I brushed the lightest colour of the Trio all over my eye, using a second coat of the colour to brighten under my eyebrows a little. I then took my new Wallpaper Shadow Box using the colour Chopper with the concealer brush again all over my eyelid, into the crease and blended it up and a little over the crease. This creates a little warmth and shimmer on the eyelid, making it look more awake. Next I took the 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero and first gave my waterlines a thick coat of black and blinked very hard to let the colour smudge a bit. I used less colour on the outer corner to make my eyes look more catlike (and naturally this is the place where it disappears on my waterline the quickest). To make the smokey part I created a line as close to my lashes as possible (wiggling it between the lashes a little) making the lashes looking thicker. This line doesn't have to be perfect. I took a Sponge Tip Shadow Applicator as a smudger and blended the colour using small circular motions. This makes the colour go over the lash line a bit, blending it up more at the outer corners. I finished the look by curling my lashes and using the Blinc mascara to finish my lashes. I used a mascara wand for eyebrow brushing.

Lips
I used the Urban Decay Thorny Rose Lip Palette and took the colour Naked as a lip colour.
Nails
My nails needed to happy up the look a little. I used OPI Original Nail Envy as a base a topcoat. In between I used 2 coats of Wild & More nail polish in 21.

Hey, CCee! Love this for daytime! Another winner from you! Sheesh, I need to print all these out and make a "CCee's beauty step-by-step" book!
1Don't tell people to print it, what kind of PR lady are you? Say we'll wait until we have about 50 and then print a book
Hahahahhaa
2Very nice! I have a request for you, CCee. Could you do a blog about your skin care routine and which products you use (cleansers, moisturizers, eye creams, etc.) That would be great to see, it seems like you have got lots of great products.
3Yeah, I can do that this weekend. Bellaressa is also a big skincare fan... so anything I don't have an answer to, she might have.
4Thanks! I'm really obsessed about skin care routines lately, it's kind of weird. I think I"m just trying to get one down that I love.
5Well, to be honest I change my routine depending on the weather and how my skin looks and feels that day. If it's dry I use the Dior moisturiser, if it's sunny I use the Clinique moisturiser, if I use a mask or peel I scrub beforehand but not 2 days afterwards. There is a logic to me, but my boyfriend and family think it's an excuse to buy so much (which is of course a little true, but not completely
)
6LOL! CCee - I am creating the prototype to shop around to publishers - of course the final version will have a few new looks that no one has seen and that can only be found in the book!
7Very smart!
8oh, skincare- yes! I have plenty of products myself- but not much logic to it unfortunately. Just when my skin was getting used to the heat and humidity, the seasons will be changing!
9Very good job, I admire your work. You are an artist.
10I love love this look.
CCee ---Thanks for the shout out!

11You're welcome
12Beautiful eye CCee. I totally could rock this… Actually I am going to.
13
You rock girl
14Love the subtle smoky eye look.
I look forward to seeing what you are going to post next. I have done the deep purple look that you did several weeks ago (the one with the bright blue on the bottom portion of the eye) and I have had sooo many compliments.
I am pretty conservative with the eye makeup but I am trying to branch out using more vibrant colors, ang you have been a source of inspiration.
15Beautiful as always.
16Thank you, that us a great compliment!
17Great idea on the CCee step by step book! Keep them coming.

19Yes, I'm still catching up but it's been a hectic couple of weeks - no need to say anymore.
