Transition From Day To Night With This Minimal Smokey Eye

Published on by Lee1 Comment

We’re still obsessing over the Grammy’s most stunning beauty moments and at the top of our list? Gracie Abrams’ effortlessly chic, minimal smokey eye – a look that’s been living rent-free in our minds all week. Striking the perfect balance between sultry and understated, this makeup works for any occasion, seamlessly taking you from day to night. Lucky for us, Abrams’ makeup artist, Emily Cheng, shared the exact products behind this look, and we’re breaking down every must-have below. Because let’s be honest – this is one beauty moment worth recreating.

Starting with a fresh, natural base, apply the Hourglass Veil Skin Tint foundation using a fluffy brush for a seamless finish. Follow up with the Vanish Concealer, blending it under the eyes and in the center of the forehead. Instead of heavy bronzing or bold blush, opt for a soft contour to lightly sculpt the cheekbones, nose bridge, and jawline, keeping the look understated.

Gracie is known for her perfectly feathered brows, so grab a tinted gel to brush up and set your brows into place. For the eyes, start by tightening the upper lash line with a black eyeliner pencil to create a subtle definition. Then, use the same pencil to accentuate the inner corners softly. To keep things balanced, switch to a brown eyeliner and lightly trace the rest of the lower lash line for a softer, more natural finish. Gently smudge the lower liner upwards using a clean finger.

Now, it’s time to build the smokey effect. Use a matte medium brown eyeshadow to elongate the outer crease, blending it outward. Then, take a deeper brown shade and apply it to the outer and inner corners of the lid to add dimension and depth. To complete the look, line your lips with the Hourglass Shape and Sculpt lip liner in the shade Candid.

This minimal smokey eye is the perfect balance between subtle and sultry, proving that you don’t need heavy glam to make an impact. 

Doechii’s Cool-Toned Makeup Stole The Show At The Grammys

On Sunday, February 2nd, the Grammy Awards brought a night of unforgettable fashion and beauty moments. Among the stars, Doechii stole the show – not just for her talent, but for her ’90s-inspired, cool-toned makeup. Her sultry look paired flawlessly with her Thom Browne pinstriped maxi dress, proving that moody, cool hues are having a major comeback. And with Doechii taking home Best Rap Album of the Year, her beauty look was just as award-worthy as her music. Ready to recreate it? We’ve rounded up everything you need for this Grammy-level glam.

A flawless red carpet look starts with the right foundation. After prepping your skin, apply a high-coverage, long-wearing formula like Face Bond Waterproof Foundation for a seamless base. Follow with a radiant concealer to brighten any shadows and enhance dimension. If your foundation leans matte, add a touch of highlighter to the high points of your cheekbones—not only for contrast but also to catch the light beautifully. Finish with a soft wash of blush for just the right hint of warmth, bringing life back to the complexion.

For the eyes, opt for an all-encompassing palette such as the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes or the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. Start by sweeping a matte gray color over the lid, then a darker gray in the outer corners and lower lash line. Switch to a shimmery silver shade and blend this into the inner corners to brighten this eye look. Tightline your upper and lower waterlines, then curl your lashes and apply a few coats of mascara for added definition. Finally, lock everything in with a setting spray to ensure your cool-toned makeup stays out all night.

The Clean Girl Makeup Guide For Glasses Wearers

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

So, you finally got your hands on the viral Miu Miu glasses, but now comes the real question – how do you tweak your makeup routine to match the vibe? Bold frames can amplify or overwhelm your features, so mastering the right techniques is key. The good news? A few subtle shifts – think brows, lashes, and just the right amount of glow – can make all the difference. Consider this your go-to guide for nailing the clean girl aesthetic while making your glasses the ultimate accessory. Trust us; the right makeup moves will make you look effortlessly cool and not overshadowed.

Your base routine is key when wearing glasses all day. The nose bridge constantly presses against your skin, causing smudging as you adjust your glasses throughout the day. To combat this, start with a blurring primer to create a smooth canvas, followed by a lightweight skin tint to even out your complexion without feeling heavy. Next, apply tiny dabs of concealer under your eyes and on any dark spots. Here’s a crucial step – use a loose setting powder to set your under-eye area and nose, preventing creasing. For extra protection, dip the nose pads of your eyeglasses into the powder before wearing them to reduce smudging further! Once your base is locked in, complete your makeup routine with bronzer and blush routine to bring warmth and dimension back to your face.

Now onto the brows and eyes. Your brows are essential since they frame your face. Use a brow pomade to sweep them into place, then fill in sparse areas with a brow pencil for a polished look. Sweep a neutral eyeshadow across your lids for subtle depth. Then, to define your eyes without overpowering them, tight-line the upper and lower lash lines before curling your lashes with a heated curler. Finally, apply a lengthening mascara to ensure your lashes pop from behind your frames.

Although this routine requires a few extra steps, the polished finish is well worth it. Your eyeglasses will no longer be an obstacle to your glam, they’ll enhance it!

Start with the brows, as they frame the face and set the tone for the entire look. Use a precise brow pencil to fill in and define your preferred shape, paying special attention to accentuating the arch and tail. Clean up underneath the brows with a touch of concealer for a sharp, polished finish. Next, apply your foundation and brighten the under-eye area with a creamy concealer. Use a liquid contour in a cool-toned brown to define the cheekbones and nose bridge. Follow up with warm bronzer on the cheeks and temples for a sunkissed glow. Then, lock everything in place with a loose setting powder and add a pop of ruby blush to the apples of your cheeks – blend for a radiant flush.

For the eyes, sweep a matte brown shadow over the lids and into the crease to create depth. Trace the upper lash line with a bold black liquid eyeliner, flicking it slightly at the outer corners for a sultry touch. Amp up the drama by applying fluttery, voluminous falsies. Finally, for the lips, line them with a dark brown lip liner and top it off with nude lipstick.

This Latina makeup look is guaranteed to bring out your inner baddie.Â
