How To Do A Smokey Eye Makeup Look: Easy Tutorial With Valeria Loren | L'oréal Paris

Hi everyone, my name is Valeria Loren and today I'm going to show you how to create this beautiful, wearable, sexy, smokey eye using all L'Oreal Paris products. If you want to learn step by step how to achieve this look, then please keep on watching. First we're taking L'Oreal Paris Infallible Fresh Wear Bronzer. We're going to use this as our transition color for today. I love using bronzers to give it some warmth, especially when working with cream shadows and you want to build it up to a beautiful, sexy, smokey eye. I love the formula of this bronzer because it has a really soft, beautiful matte finish. I am taking the color 400 in Tan Torrid. I'm just sweeping it all over the eyelid and also focusing right underneath the brow bone where my eyebrow starts. It's going to give it more of a diffused look, more of a fierce, smokey eye shadow. You want to make sure it looks cohesive from the front to the back, making sure all areas of the eyes are covered. Taking L'Oreal Paris Lid Shadow 6. Today we're going to be using two colors to give it a gradient look and give it more definition and texture to the smokey eye. First I'm taking the shade 250 Celestial Taupe. It is a beautiful taupey gray, gunmetal color that also has a very natural finish, so you're not going to have the harsh metal look. Don't worry, it's going to really warm up with the bronze underneath and with the complexion of your skin. You guys can see how bold and creamy these eyeshadows are. It glides on effortlessly and most importantly, evenly. I love how it is a quick pick-me-up product, which makes it so easy for a smooth application. First I'm putting it on my eyelid with a stick and then going in with a brush to evenly distribute the product from beginning to end of the eyelid, focusing on the lower lid to make sure we get that pigment up there and then slowly we're going to start blending that right into the crease where the eye folds to give it a nice seamless blended look. Take your time with this step because you want it to look as seamless as possible considering we're working with darker colors. Once you're happy with the color and the pigment, let's move on to the next shade. Taking 490 All Night Black, instead of a traditional winged eyeliner look, I want to keep everything cohesive and smoky, only applying this to the outer third of my outer eyelid. It's so hard to find very pigmented shadow sticks and the fact that this is affordable, it makes it even better. Once applied this higher amount, it's time again to buff it out. Being really precise with the buffing motions, you don't want to take it all the way up you want to keep it more of the illusion of a really smoked eyeliner. Taking a small tapered buffer brush, you're going to be able to get this look to blend seamlessly. To deepen up the eyes and give it more of that smoky effect, we're going to go with the next eyeliner. Next we're taking L'Oreal Paris Infallible Grip Mechanical Gel Eyeliner. I'm taking the shade Intense Black to really intensify the smoky look and give it that nice gradient effect from the inside of the eyes being really dark for it to be transitioned into a more wearable shades of brown, taupey, more seamless smoky look. It is a long wearing eyeliner with an intense color payoff and also a very easy glide application. And then taking the buffer applicator at the end to give it a nice blend as well on the lower lash line. Further blend everything in, going back with that bronzer shade and really just marrying the colors together making them all nice and seamless and even. Taking L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara. I've always been a fan of this formula but now that it's waterproof, even better for a smoky eye like this one. Now I'm taking the shade 204 Blackest Black. This mascara is going to give your eyelashes volume and length for up to 36 hours. The waterproof formula is infused with floral oil for an ultra soft application and dense fuller looking lashes, which also means lashes are going to feel conditioned and supple to the touch. The formula is also clump resistant, smudge resistant, long wearing and suitable for sensitive eyes. Now that the eyes are complete, it's time to warm up the face. Nothing more I love than just applying bronzer to my skin and leaving the blush out. It's going to give the illusion of a more smokier, sexier look to the face. The eyes being the main focus. Taking that bronzer on a big fluffy brush, we're going to hit the forehead and the cheeks and a little bit down on the chin area to create warmth and also shadows to contour and bronze the skin. This is the finished look. I hope you guys enjoyed the tutorial and I hope it's easy to follow along.
