So here comes another easy eye look. If you like it, do try it out. icon smile Khaki Brown Smokey Eye Video Tutorial

Again, you don’t have to use the same products that I used, you just need the same colours and you would be done. Let me know if you have questions and queries. icon smile Khaki Brown Smokey Eye Video Tutorial

And don’t forget to switch on the speakers.! (although the music played  peek-a-boo in between …still!! )

Products Used:

Face :

Eyes :

Cheeks:

  • Solelil Tan De Chanel  – Terre Halee

Lips:

  • Chanel Rouge Coco  Lipstick- La Pausa
  • Chanel Glossimer- Bikini Peach
  • EOS Lip Blam (Rashmi sent it as a gift to me. Thank you, Rashmi :*)

Nails :

Sneak Peak Chanel Makeup

Song : Train – Hey Soul Sister

Some tips and tricks:

  • Don’t apply kajal in such heavy smokey eye look. It will close your eyes all the more. I didn’t apply anything but if you want you may apply skin colour kohl eye liner inside your eyes.
  • If you have small eyes, you may also wing your eyeliner.
  • Keep your hand light blending your eyeshadows , this way you would be able to blend better and woulod do some good to your eye area as well. icon razz Khaki Brown Smokey Eye Video Tutorial

wow lovely!
that lip color is going great with the eye look
gotta try but will skip the lower lash part…they look like dark circles on me
but all my khaki eye pencils from various brands have green overtones ?:-)

also will buy that elf eye shadow brush that u said is good…was disappointed in the blending one….what is the eye liner brush and lower lash flat brush u used? and the rest if u remember… :-)

Just apply the mascara on your lowerlash line and you’d do fine. :)

The flat angular a regular vega or something no brand brush. Bent brush and blush brushes are from Inglot : http://makeupandbeauty.com/inglot-makeup-brushes-review/

The powder brush is TBS one : http://makeupandbeauty.com/the-body-shop-natures-minerals-foundation-brush-review-and-photos/

The pointy brush is from Colorbar : http://makeupandbeauty.com/must-have-makeup-brushes/

Graet tut Rati :)
Now I want greaspaint stick .. like NOW !!
And the colors are so pretty .. you totally rocked them .. just a question .. I have small eyes and have noticed if I take my eye make up past crease .. my eyes starts looking smaller :-?
However , If I wing the liner up .. it result in lifted effect and they start looking bigger :P
Care to explain me the phenomena :D

Palak,

By Rule :

If you eyes are small, you need to highlight your lid area by either using the lighter color on your lids or by applying glitter or shimmery e/s on your lid area. This would reflect the light and make your eyes look bigger. Keep the darker colours concentrated nly on the outer corner.

With winged eyeliner, you are basically increasing the length of your eyes so your eyes would look bigger only. You are basically cheating in a good way. :P

You also use a kajal that makes your eyes look even smaller. The trick is to apply skin colour liner inside your eyes and liner your lower lash line with the black liner. This would give the illusion of both bigger eyes and you will have your kajal as well. Smudge the black liner a little if you want.

Hope that helps. :)

When you say “skin color eyeliner” is that the same as using a white one or is it different?

Reply

Rati June 30, 2010 at 10:40 am

White looks odd on our skintones. It looks good mainly for either fashion shows or on people who are very fair. http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT151&PRODUCT_ID=7183

Not sure if this could be applied on waterline. Will figure this out and let you know. :)

Rashmi, I am liking Roue Coco more than Rouge allure. :) may be because of the shade.

I am lad you are liking the peachy rose. I think it suits just everyone. :)

Which shade is the explosion nail paint?

Thank you. This is one of my fav look recently. Have worn it atleast twice . :)

Chanel also has skin care. You are not being loyal. I am not liking it. :X-P:

Reply

Radhika June 30, 2010 at 11:34 am

Ya I know…It’s got some rotten reviews though…I have Indian-neta loyalties..switch sides based on what suits!! There was some makeup event kind of thing once at Lifestyle, so I tried their skincare…didnt have any breakouts or anything after having it on the whole day. I amn’t too happy with the ingredients though for the skincare line recommended for my kind of skin…Liked the spray serum they have..but 6000 bucks….ouch!

Reply

Rati June 30, 2010 at 11:38 am

oh really? Didn’t know that. With skin care I am a little particular and like to trust our Indian brands more.

Glad you enjoyed it. Massages are always fun. :)

6000 bucks is painful. You would think zillion times before repurchasing the next bottle. :(

Reply

Radhika June 30, 2010 at 12:11 pm

Repurchasing??? Haaa…I didnt have to think twice about not purchasing!! I suppose its good if you have that kind of money..but I don’t..so easy…no buying :-)

Reply

Rati June 30, 2010 at 12:20 pm

Skincare should be the kinds that you can purchase and repurchase without giving a second thought. Well as if we can complain. We drain our money in makeup. :P Some people do that for skin care . eh eh

Honestly, I feel it is very difficult to get perfect khaki. It’s such a pretty shade and I wonder why many companies don’t make this shade. There is perfect khaki colour in Bourjois Kohl and Contour pencils. That to you have to get.

And pick up Chanel if you get nothing else. Take it as courtship gift. he he. :P

I have’nt watched the tut yet, saving it for when junior’s asleep :) , I had posted my comment on Mrunmayee’s review yesterday but for some reason it does’nt seem to be there, anyways.. I went to MAC last saturday and got their pwd foundation studio fix, I tried some of their eye colours too but nothing seemed to suit me becoz my eyes are deepset with dark eyelids.. s I came away with no eye makeup :-( ( I then went to Estee Lauder to check out their illuminator you had written abt sometime back but came away with their under eye cream instead :hypnotized: the SA there were very sweet and gave me some freebies (which kind off lessened the guilt of blwing so much mney :-D )

Reply

Rati June 30, 2010 at 2:38 pm

Oh!! I didn’t see your comment. Even checked my spam folder and it wasn’t there. :( May there were some technical issues. …

I used a lot of studio fix powder during my makeup classes. I quite liked it. It gives a decent coverage. Will pick it up soon. :)

Good you didn’t buy the illuminator because that doesn’t work as a concealer. It just does what it is meant for – it illuminates. :)

What all freebies did you get? It’s always fun get get samples. :P

*hugs to junior* :)

Hey Rati…just finished watching the video..am so getting lured into this whole eye makeup thing because of your blog..and Mrun and eyemakeup looks!! When I have loads of alone time someday..am going to sit and try this on myself. Alone time cos if my hubby is here..he will not let me in peace…laughing at me all the while! Greasepaint – what a name..but really it spreads so beautifully. I guess you need to be quick with it to spread like that!

Reply

Rati June 30, 2010 at 2:56 pm

Oh you have to try the looks. it’s so much fun. I feel it’s more of a self discovery. loll!!!

Yeah with greasepaint sticks you have to be quick at blending or else they just they just dry and after that you cannot blend then. Then all you can do is either start all over again or play tricks using eye shadow.

But if you love doing smokey eyes, I think these would be a great addition to your collection. :)

Reply

Radhika June 30, 2010 at 3:09 pm

With me tho..it will be more like learning to read or write from A, B, C.. :-D I don’t use eyeshadows at all :-D Ok…waits for some time for Rati to pick herself off the ground and get back to computer. You all right Rati? Oh..okk..so where was I?? Yup, I don’t use anything besides an eyeliner and mascara..so I will be staring at these videos for quite some time before I even start!! Have darker eyelids..so this kind of a look won’t suit me, I think..but heyy…I won’t know till I try na..I think the colours Mrun picks up would be a better match for me.

Reply

Rati June 30, 2010 at 3:31 pm

You know I also took my time to apply eye shadows. I still love to wear eyeliners more than the shadows. :)

Oh what the heck? You pick up any Mrunmayee’s look and atleast start doing it. It would be so much fun. :)

Good Luck. :-* :-* :fingersxd:

Hey Rads…. I’ll do some easy peasy neutrals for you soon….

Rati..this Painterly Pot..its lighter na. Would you recommend this one for darker eyelids or should I go for a darker shade?

Reply

Rati June 30, 2010 at 3:44 pm

Pick up soft ochre. I am going to pick that up myself after this one expires or gets over. Painterly works just fine because it is a very light base so it does not eat up the colour but I think soft ochre is better suited.

I had noone to tell me stuff so I picked up painterly. Not that I have a single complaint with it but soft ochre is better suited for Indian skin tones. :)

Radhika June 30, 2010 at 3:52 pm

Thanks :-) Was thinking of finally peeping into MAC this Friday..if I go that side, that is. There’s a Westside sale coming up and the two are nearby. And for someone who didn’t have anyone to help you out with makeup dilemmas, you are doing so well now..hehehee..in fact certain people – will not mention names of – feel insecure about you…and you are so helpful with all our doubts.. :hugright: :hugleft: :-* Okk..enough praise for one day…in fact you used up an entire year’s quota..now next year only!

Reply

Rati June 30, 2010 at 3:56 pm

loll!!!

I just came to comment that the difference between painterly and soft ochre is that painterly has pink undertones and soft ochre has yellow.

Ahem ahem!! I am gladly taking all the praises. Don’t know when are they coming from you next so I’d rather swell myself enough now only. :rotfl:

We have a sale coming up in July end. Planning to go on a spree. Some lingerie also. :giggle:
