Glitter Smokey Eye Tutorial

Here is the tutorial for this glitter smokey eye. I worked on this last weekend (my editing skills are still iffy). I hope you guys enjoy it. I hope to keep improving as I make more videos. I definitely will do some things different for my next video. Keep reading for more photos and the full tutorial of this look.

Beyonce Makeup Photo Tutorial

So over the weekend, Jay-Z may have or have not announced that him and Beyonce are expecting a another baby. I quite frankly did not care about this news. I cared more about the makeup that Mrs. Carter was rocking. Such a cool look! Awesome for a party and even for the upcoming holiday season. Never too early to start brainstorming looks.

I recreated this look and it's super easy to do. I love the pink and the silver glitter together. I used loose glitter because I only had a gold liquid liner. Also, with loose glitter you don't have to layer as much and it comes out much better in photos. Check out the pictorial below to learn how to create this look.

Instructions:

1. Prime your lids and sweep a shadow similar to your skin tone all over your eyelid. Then, use a color slightly darker than your skin tone and blend that into your crease to give your eye definition.

2. Line your upper lash line with a gel liner, slightly flicking the corner. 

3. Starting from the outside in, line your eye as if creating a cat eye. However outline a little outside your lash line to create a small "gap". 

4. Since I used loose glitter, I first filled the "gap" with a glitter adhesive so the glitter can have something to stick too. This step isn't necessary if you are using a liquid liner. Then I layered a silver loose glitter over the adhesive. I neatened up the edges with the black liner and I exaggerated the tail of the cat eye to make it a little more dramatic.

5. Beyonce wore a pink lip to complement this look. I lined my lips with a pink liner and topped it off with a matte pink lipstick.

First of all I would like to apologize for the iffy editing, I was using a different editing program and it wouldn't let me adjust the sound for each individual clip, which explains why the sound is so low in the beginning.

I really like the video to this song, it's fun and colorful. I did this tutorial based on the look Beyonce is wearing in the very beginning of the video. I loved the Audrey Hepburn homage. Enjoy!
