So, let’s surprise our friends and family this season by switching up our beauty routine. Follow our holiday eye makeup tutorial, and you just might make this part of your everyday look when you see everyone’s response to how fab you are!

Smokey Eyes
Smokey Eye!
Smoky Eyes are a look perfect for dinners, work parties, dates or any evening occasion. Samantha’s pallet of choice is the Revlon Custom Eyes Smoky Pallet along with Lancome Liquid Eyeliner 
#GlamTip: Samantha’s favorite crayon eyeliners are by LA Girl, as they are very inexpensive and are made by the same company as a prestige brand, but retail for a third of the price! Added value: no smudge!
#GlamTip: Use numerous brushes for each color. They are an important factor in getting the blending correct. Here are the important ones to take note of:
Important brushes to use.
Step 1 – Start by taking your liquid eyeliner and drawing the outline of your eye with black (don’t worry if it’s not perfect – that’s where blending comes in at the end!) Samantha slightly pulls out her eye a little and follows along the natural lash line and up around the eyeball as shown in the pictures. (Tip- keep your eye closed while the liquid liner dries.)
Step 2 – Once both eyes are lined and you have let the liner dry, take your white (or lightest shade) and fill in the INNER corner of both eyes. Using a different brush, use a grey or navy hue and fill in the middle of your eyelid. And don’t worry about getting messy – it’s the best way to create amazing eyes!
Step 3 – Next, with an angled brush, take your black or the darkest shade you have, tap off all excess from brush, and fill in from the outer corner of the eye inwards, shading in the outline you made in the first step.
Step 4 – Take a big blending brush and blend in the three colors, then tidy the eye with a cotton bud. And now you can add a little more black shadow to the corners for emphasis.
Step 5 – Apply a dark crayon eyeliner to the bottom waterline and use a clean powder brush to clear away fall out before applying your foundation. Samantha suggests Elizabeth Arden Maximum Volume Mascara
Posh Purples
Posh purples!
Using Elizabeth Arden’s Untold Color Collection you can transform the Smoky Eye look while following the same steps, just by changing your hue to yummy purple! And add even more glam to your Posh Purple with glitter shadow along the waterline and inner corner of the eyelid!
Bonus: Ombre Lips!
Ombre Lips!
#GlamTip: You can create this effect with most lipstick shades – you just need a lip liner that is darker than your desired lipstick shade.
Samantha uses Elizabeth Arden lip liner in Fuchsia and lipstick shade is St.Germain by MAC
Step 1 – Apply your lip liner around the edge of your lip line then use a lip brush to apply your lipstick so it can blend nicely.
Step 2 – If you want a really definitive line around the lips, then go over your first line once you have applied the lipstick. Voila. You are good to go, Gorgeous!
Which idea will you be trying out first?
Fashionably Yours,
Allison
