Because sometimes, you wanna feel or look badass...Right? Or it is just me?
A smoky grey eyeshadow look is no doubt a very common and overdone look...BUT if you want to make it a little more interesting, pop some red contacts on, add some blue false lashes, and smack on some grey lipstick...Yes, I said grey lipatick, and voila! No longer a common look anymore!
What I love about this look is that the eyeshadow is not a flat grey but a greyish purple with some gold shimmers. The blue lashes and liners add some contrast and dimension. And lastly, the grey lipstick gives this more of a futuristic flair. I know it may not be for everyone but if you dare to wear grey differently, I hope this look inspires you. Don't have a grey lipstick? I bet a bright orange lipstick would look fabulous as well. Otherwise, if you wanna look normal, you can pretty much wear grey with any of your favorite lip colors and still look gorgeous. Then again, if badass is what you're going for then grey lipstick is the way to go and the one featured on this look is pretty inexpensive.

DeleteStunning! I rarely wear greys although I used to wear A LOT of grey/charcoal eyeliner! I totally need to do a grey/black smokey look some time soon! Love that super metallic shade on the center of your lid and those blue lashes are soooo amazing! I'm going to go and buy the katy perry blue pair now! I NEED them!
ReplyDeletecolored lashes are a lot of fun to wear. They should sell more of them in store. I grab them whenever I come across them.
