Hi everyone!
This is a plummy brown smokey eye look what I wore yesterday. To those who’ve been following me on Facebook would have seen this look yesterday. It is a neutral smokey eye paired with a warm nude lipstick and blush. This is one of the looks that can be worn with any outfit regardless of color. Read post on ”Makeup looks to suit every outfit” HERE.
Plummy brown smokey eyes with nude lips makeup look
Summary of the look :
For the eyes, apply kohl on lid as base and smudge, apply plummy brown (or any neutral shade) eyeshadow all over lid and blend at the crease. Apply compact under the brows, kohl smudged with the same eyeshadow on lower lash line and finish off with mascara. Moisturize face well before eye makup and apply concealer, foundation and compact after completing eye makeup. Apply a warm blush under the cheekbones and blend upwards. Apply a nude lipstick with a warm undertone to finish the look. Alternatively, you can use a cool toned blush and pair with a nude lipstick with a pink undertone.

.hey apart frm MAC, as i m on tight budget 
. wht blending n eye make up brush wud u recommnd ?? as i wud be buyin sum… i m a newbie in eye make up.. 
Thanks Preeti
Its difficult to find good brushes in Indian brands Preeti..its you’re ordering online you could get Coastal Scents brushes. In Indian brands, I’ve found Faces blending brush really good. And its priced very well at Rs 70. Its fluffy but not too fluffy so you can apply eyeshadow with it and blend with it too.
thnks ankita..n yayiiee we r FB buddies nw
You’re welcome Preeti
Thank you
Looks really pretty… and that lakme lipstick is a divine shade. You haven’t topped it with gloss?
Thank you Shai
I haven’t topped it with gloss..it has a satin finish so it looks a bit glossy.
you alway outdo yourself Ankita, loved the way you have connected the lower lash line shadow with the upper one
Thank you Eesha!
loved it..!! ur cs palette is the matte one na?
Thanks Neha
Ya its the matte one- most shadows are semi-satin or satin finish.
So pretty!
I loved the eyes..n 133 is pretty !! hows d lotus natural blend ?
Thanks
Its pretty good..the shade matches my skin very well but it makes my skin a little oily after some time.

very nice look !i love the whole smokey eyes & nude lips look , my go to products for the look , either chanel eye kohl or mac smolder(i apply it on my lids and smudge it a bit which gives a nice natural look ) and for lips mac fresh brew lipstick with mac lipglass in mad cap
Thanks Rajni! I absolutely love my MAC Smolder! Will check out MAC Fresh brew lipstick and mad cap lipglass
Hows the Chanel eye khol? How does it compare to MAC Smolder?
they are both equally good but i reach out more for the Chanel one(i got this one after reading somewhere that Kareena Kapoor uses it and i love her eye makeup )
Thanks Rajni. How much does the Chanel kohl retail for?
i dont remember exactly but i think it was around Rs1200-1300
and it comes with a sharpner
