Look – Smokey Browns & Blue Liner for the Weekend

Date: September 7, 2008 - Posted in: Brown, Looks, Smokey

It’s been a tiring weekend! I hope everybody did something fun/relaxing/exciting this weekend :) Are you ready to start the week? I’m sooo not. This is from yesterday, and I tried to “style” my hair, which did not work out so well, LOL. Oh, well, practice, practice, practice!

You will need the following…

  • Eyes: Copperbeam pigment (metallic brown), Woodwinked eyeshadow (warm dark brown), Smoke & Diamonds eyeshadow (warm silver/gray) on outer crease, Smut eyeshadow (dark brown), Goldmine eyeshadow (gold), Rose Blanc eyeshadow (frosty white-gold), UD Electric 24/7 Liner (bright blue), Givenchy Dandy Blue Pencil (dark blue), Plushlash mascara (black)
  • Cheeks: Suncentered Colour Forms powder (soft peach)
  • Lips: Strawberry Blonde lipstick (warm pink), Moonstone lipglass (sheer gold-pink)
  • Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
  • Substitutes: Copperbeam = Tan; Smoke & Diamonds = Silver Ring; Rose Blanc = Nylon; Suncentered = Peachykeen; Strawberry Blonde = Please Me; Moonstone = Nymphette

Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Copperbeam pigment all over the lid as the base with the 249. On lid, apply Woodwinked eyeshadow with the 239 brush. Darken the outer lid using Smoke & Diamonds eyeshadow and drag into crease using the 239. Deepen crease with Smut eyeshadow with the 239. Sweep Rose Blanc underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with UD Electric 24/7 Liner on inner lower lash line and Givenchy Dandy Blue Pencil on outer lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Suncentered using the 129. Apply Strawberry Blonde lipstick to lips, and then top with Nymphette lipglass for color and shine.

    LOVE the blue liner on lower lash. Salon styling is usually a bit hard to copy, so just like you said, keep practicing!

      Thanks, Pia! LOL, I was actually going for beachy waves, not what the salon did for that look!

    I dig the tousled look, it’s very nice. :D

    And I love the blue accent with the browns, it’s very nice. Really brings out the gold tones in your eyes.

      I was going for more curly than crimpy, LOL.

      Thank you!

      Thanks, Valerie! Beachy? Well, that WAS what I was aiming for – though more wavy than crimped.

    Whenever you wear Strawberry Blonde lipstick, I always want to comment to say how much I love your lip colour! It is definitely one that works so well on you.

    I think you did a great job on your hair! It’s kinda punky, very hot, especially with the pop of blue liner.

      Agree 200%

    • Christine

      Monday, September 8, 2008

      It’s one of my favorite pinks! It’s not super pink, and yet it’s not a coral either.

      Thank you!

    It looks like you have a greenish color under that blue liner on the bottom? Or am I just crazy? Looks great btw!

    • Christine

      Monday, September 8, 2008

      Oh! I put Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow on the lower lash line, too ;) That’s why!

    i’m a huge fan of coloured liner. so yeahhh this look is great!
    and the hair’s looking good too. i find that hair styling is crazily difficult. which is why i never really bother with mine… although at times i’ll do the “scene” styled hair in a toned down way.

    • Christine

      Monday, September 8, 2008

      I’m trying to use colored liner more often :)

    Hey, was wondering which of the 24/7 Urban decay liner’s you are wearing? there are two blue’s on the website and I cant tell. Is it Electric ( Aquamarine) or Deviant (bold blue)? TIA!

    • Christine

      Monday, September 8, 2008

    I love this Christine :) I also tend to line my lower lash line with blue if I’m wearing neutral colors.

    • Christine

      Monday, September 8, 2008

      It’s a great way to be all COLOR! but then not really so bold.

    • Christine

    I love this look. I would’ve never thought to do something like that. I don’t know how it would look on me because I’m a little darker than you but I’ll definitely try it. By the way, that’s a killer haircut. It looks great on you. It’s very Kat VonD.

    I loooooooove this!! Strawberry Blonde is ALWAYS my fav lip on you. I wish my lips weren’t pigmented so I could wear it & have it look that colour!

    • Christine

      Tuesday, September 9, 2008

      Thanks, Kella! ;) Try putting foundation, a nude lipstick, or Lip Erase on beforehand. You’ll get more of the true-to-tube color!

    I like this look, but i’m wondering if it would look good on someone with blonde hair, fair skin, and blue/green eyes??

    • Christine

      Friday, December 19, 2008

      I definitely think so!
